Lucky Luckie ... n extreme 'CAT'ing


Hi .
First day of holidays. Supposed to be memorable, isn't it ? The sweetness of freedom, the lack of responsibility, unlimited sleep , etc etc are the bonuses you get with holidays.
But not me ! oh Man ! I have a mini project , to be completed by the 31st of this month.
I know its a piece of cake, but that's not the only thing i am doing !!

CAT stole its rightful place in my today's preparation. After browsing the internet for various articles from 5 to 8, i got bored with my lappie, or rather, got interested in doing some CAT material.
Guess what ! I started reading Verbal first, prepared 3 topics from our IMS stuff, and then jumped to Quant ! I started Geometry and finished triangles and lines.
Then i saw a mail from IMS ,regarding a doubts session, being held in the afternoon from 3 to 5 for quant, and from 5 to 7 for verbal.

I thought, "arey yaar, its been a long time since i went there, let me just brush up my fundamentals in the doubts session". With that intention in mind, i started walking out, armed with 6 of my prep books, a waterbottle, and a cap.

Luck.
That's the factor that showered upon me today. Not in drops or trickles but in rivers and oceans. Just as i stepped out of the house, the clouds hid the sun, making it very shady and comfortable to travel.
I smiled at myself, thinking this was a good sign. I approached the jam packed road which i couldn't cross normally,but there was a car that suddenly broke down in the middle of the road. The entire traffic halted, and nobody moved. Laughing to myself now, i slowly crossed the street, wondering what was special ! Slowly I started walking to the bus stop, but then i remembered i forgot to take money for the travel.

If i had been in my usual mood, I would have cursed myself, frowned, crossed the street again, walked back home, climbed three floors of stairs, searched for the missing purse, shouted at everyone to search, finally accepted defeat and asked mom money, and then hurried back to the bus stop to reach the destination early.

But today was the first day of holidays. Also, i had done a lot of studying. With that in mind , and hoping for more miracles, I proceeded , ( my father's office was also in the same direction).
Luck.
My father was coming in the opposite direction on a bike, and i waved at him, took money from him, and happily walked to the stop. My new found happiness and luck directed the rare 250/49M to manifest itself before me within a few min of my arrival.
I now confirmed that my lucky day had come ! Ha ha ha.

I reached IMS , walking under the hot sun, and sat in the classroom. I was alone. To my utter disbelief, i was the only student who had come for a doubts session today ! My class at IMS had AC ! Lucky again.

My sir cleared the 4 doubts i had, and sat down to do his work. I also started doing my work, and amazingly completed 2 topics, both concept and workbook, sitting right there ! Then my verbal sir came, suggested that i practice , and he also cleared few of my doubts. Then i left IMS, hopping all the way.

I was jubilant, owing to the fact that i completed 4 units in quant today, 3 in Verbal. Anyway, i got home , switched on my laptop, learnt a bit of Japanese, and then shut down my lappie.
I again started reading a few concepts of ASP.Net, then switched back my lappie, and came here to blog. So long fow now. Will keep you updated about the rest of details later.
