Re-kindle.....
It came as a suprise to me, when balaji anna came and told me i have to leave for SRMC-Sri Ramachandra Medical Coll -Chennai, the next day to play Tennis. I had been playin tennis for the past few months, but am still not tht good to play professional tennis. However having a good partner like Alekhya, i thought we might stand a chance so i left.
first match Ethiraj coll...its a woman's coll in chennai, known for its gorgeous & talented girls.
But their tennis team as i had seen in the last tournament werent too good. I was overconfident , thinking ..it would be easy to sail through.
That was my first mistake!! i almost lost the match. I lost my cool...hit all my shots out. the hot sun at 2:oo pm was makin it worse.
score was 6-2...she reaches 8 i loose the match. thats when my entire Basketball team came down to cheer for me...i caught up ...7-3....and then i reached 7-7...tie breaker 1-6 i thought i lost n walked out...the ref called me back sayin i gotta play one more point.
i went back...i was tired to the limit..have never played in the hot sun!!
everybody's cheerin "c'mon hazarika fight u cant let that point go away, u have to win" .
the crowd cheerin so hard for me...i had hope. i fought hard ...point by point i came up..frustratin my opponent. i won it.
there were cheers!!! oh it was amazin!!...after years did i taste victory tht way. i ran straight in to the arms of the first person i met outside court. oh it was great...cant express it better. and it was more fun to hear ppl praise u again n again for ur determination n will power.
It was years ago that i had played that way or done anythin as a matter of fact, i was takin everythin too easy n jus livin on. didn try at all to make anythin better...all tht i did was crib!!
that trip changed a lot...i am back at enjoyin badminton n tennis again..have spend the past two evenings playin with good sportsmen. i wanna win, i wanna excel...the desire to win returns.
i even wrote my sim CAT more seriously today...hopefully i ll master quant...i am tryin won give up.
the only thing tht bothers me here is ...
why do i always need some pushin.
why do i constantly need someone to tell me what to do
why don i know what to do..what do i want...
all this churns a feeling , which makes me restless n i hate it...
i guess with time i ll know...
rite now am jus gonna smile n be happy tht there are ppl who care ....n i have got back my spark!!!
i got to keep it comin!!!

Well...firstly..COngrats on ur win..if u wudnt have had the feeling that u had lost and then come back and win it..u wudnt have started thinking on the lines that u did..U knew wot it was to lose and thankfully u had the chance in the same match to win it..very RARE :o)
Secondly...Quant is all abt picking the right questions...u have to b able to pick the right questions..in CAT u wud be surprised if u do 1 question per page correctly u will get over Quant cut off...so parctise on findint THAT question that u can pick and do correctly in 30 secs... Ideally u shud finish it in 20 odd mins..then go ahead and do questions u think r crackable but u r not fully sure how..first 20 mins only questions that u can crack mentally wen u see it..ok..
I tried CAT twice...stuck at 96..always bcoz of DI..hehehee.. which surprisingly was my strongest point :o(
ALso hopefully u wud have joined pagalGuy.com....u will get loads of extra question papers from there..
Nothing like loads of practise...
But dont make the mistake of peaking before CAT ( last time I did that..peaked 1 week before CAT..then it was all downhill...)
DI...pick 2 caselets that r perfect...
VA...I used to finish it is 10 odd mins..then 3-4 RCs in 25 more mins...saved 5 mins..which went to QUant...then realized that ppl score more in VA+RC so cut off is high..so gave 40 mins to it..and surprisingly was clearing all cut offs in SimCATs and laos in PT Mock CATs...and if u clear all cut offs...more often than not u r in top 500 in the country..
My peak was 124 in SimCAT and 9 in PT....they were the last 2-3 SimCATs and Mock CATs......
So always remember..more than nething it is all abt picking the right questions..and that u only learn by practise....more and more...it is never enuff...
