Facing an exam

I am going to face CAT on dec 4th. Starting to feel slight excitement - mixed tension. I am sort of happy that I am tensed. Well.. I know that it sounds ridiculous. But what to do? It happens to be the truth. The thing is that, I haven't experienced this sort of a tension ever since I entered into engineering college. Tension indicates that you have a wish to do well in the exam.. right? So that's what I am happy about.

But, I don't say that I wrote all my engineering exams the easy going way. There was tension, but of a different sort. There, the thoughts were like, "God.. what the f*** the SOBs are gonna ask?', "The assholes who wrote the syllabus should be shot" "Donno if I'll be able to write down some crap and get pass mark" etc. Now it is like "God.. will I be able to crack at least two sets in Di?", "Donno what the pattern of the exam will be".. and so on..

Obviously, the second way of facing an exam is much better. It feels better when you don't hate the exam, the questions asked, and the topics from which the questions are being asked.

I wish if I could love my Engineering subjects. Sigh..

Malgudy school days, Davinci code

So those are the two books that I read during the last two weeks. The first one was simple and subtle description of a eleven year old boy's adventures. It is a slightly abridged version of R.K Narayan's much celebrated novel, Swami and friends. A nice read.

Da Vinci code happened to be the thriller that I am reading after a long time. (The last thriller that i read was protector by David Morrel.. or atleast i guess so)Had read it once as e - book. But, the crt monitor had made me apply some speed reading techniques that time.

A good one, by the standards of thriller fiction. It is quite wonderful how Dan Brown thought out the idea from original artworks.

I feel too lazy to write detailed reviews..

I hate MNS!!

I have always been totally against Mr. Raj Thackeray and the his party, for the totally absurd things that they are doing. They belong to a state where farmers are facing an utter debacle and the suicide rates among the farmers are increasing continuously. Instead of taking up any issue that really matter for the people, they stick to the highly reprehensible way of functioning. But the fact that keeps me worried is, in spite of all these bullshit, they are gaining some popularity in Maharashtra.

Now, the assault in the Maharashtra assembly has turned out to be yet another reason for me to detest MNS. What is wrong if someone takes the oath in Hindi? Isn't Hindi our national language?

If we listen to Mr. Raj Thackeray, we will have to split our country and make each state a new country.

Now, I hear a new opinion that the whole incident in the assembly was a drama meant for publicity. http://shobhaade.blogspot.com/2009/11/fully-bogus.html

The people of Maharashtra need to reject this MNS idiots and wipe them out totally
