Our Rajasthan royals is Out – I am so sad.

So as expected by most of you, RR is out of IPL. It has been so bad for me to see such performance of players & team I am supporting. There is also one more bomb – Our main bhai – Shane Warne may not be available for next IPL. But I hope he may be at least in form of Coach for RR. Also, in next IPL, there will be a new players for RR. IPL authorities have allowed to retain only 4 players of previous team. So, it will be a tough call for RR for selection of 4 players. Hence I agree with opinion of Sachin Tendulkar for allowing 8 previous players in team.

When it comes for analysis of defeat of RR, I think inexperience cost them. No chief player in team gave them disadvantage. When it comes for batting line-up, I respect Shane’s decision to play Yusuf at lower order, though it has been criticized by many. Because he has played fabulous innings at lower order in previous IPL & upper line up of RR is not especially different then previous. But batting form of all players had cost them a lot. As Smith was injured, there was no perfect opener. Lumb was good but Ojha is not one. Ojha lacks in technique & he need flat pitch to perform. If we look at other team, player at one –down position is strongest one in team, but RR didn’t have that one. Middle order was completely out of form. Slog over hitter Yusuf pathan played only 2 innings out of 14. As compared to batting line-up, bowling was good. But I didn’t understand why Shane benched Tait & Munaf after few matches. Also, continuous team changes degraded team performance. Anyway, it was past.

I hope in next season, Shane will be there with Yusuf, Watson, Trivedi. Also, they must select experienced players in team.

Is this a start of struggle???

I am feeling to cry. I am so tensed. Today results of IIT Bombay & kharagpur are declared & I am not in. Also, I had skipped interviews of IIT Madras, Kanpur, Roorkee. Only left is IIT Delhi & its interview was not good. So, I think dreams of IITs are destroyed. Now all hopes on IIM. I don’t know what the path ahead for me. May be I will get rejected by IIMs, I will not loose courage. I will not say my preparation of months is squandered. I have learned in this a lot & its the way of thinking. I will stand by with my decision of management career. I know I deserve IIM, sooner or later I will be there. If they accepted me, then I will be on top of world. In next month, I will make best ever plan for activities in MBA course. I will work hard. Because now I am in rhythm of improvement which is backed by my indomitable determination .

ALL interviews are completed………waiting for result

Its my post after long time. I won’t say - busy(?) with my interviews, didn’t have time……so on. But actual reason I was & I m so tired because of this admission process. I don’t know what going to happen with me.
What I have to do is nothing other than to wait.

I will like post my feel about my GD/PI experience.

Having calls of all IITs & 3 IIM (L,K,I), I had taken risk of skipping interviews of 3 IITs (K,M,R). I expect admission in one of institute. God, please help me.

SJSOM, IIT Bombay experience: 5 Mar 2010
GD was Ok. Slightly fish market. I came for 3-4 points. My performance was average.

PI – not so good. I don’t expect. But lets see.

VGSOM, IIT Kharagpur experience: 12 March 2010
GD was very well. I opened GD & gave infrastructure to discussion. Very well.
PI was also better. I don’t know what they expect. But I expect admission from them.

IIM Kozhikode experience: 26 March 2010
GD was complete fish market. So many people are talking at a time. I can’t believe future IIM student were behaving like this. I was so quiet. Came only for 2-3 points, were not so impressive.
PI was completely academic oriented. In 1st ques, he told me “answer if you know, otherwise say don’t know”. So, in academic questions I was fully fumbled. I don’t have any chance of IIM K. My dreams of IIM K are shattered.

DMS, IIT Delhi: 28 Mar 2010
GD was average. My points were OK. Above average.
In PI, panel surprising asked me about History of Shivaji Maharaj, Mogal. Also, in one of my answer, I used word ‘corporate strategy’ & person in front was Head of Corporate Strategy. I gave vague answer which later my friend told me it’s of business strategy. So, I think PI was below avg. Also, they short listed 800 & finally going to select 60. Little scope.

IIM Lucknow : 3 April 2010
Better than best interview. Have lot of hopes from IIM L. Essay was average. But GD & PI were superb. God please convert this . Please…………..

IIM Indore : 10 April 2010
Essay & psychometric test were OK. PI was average. In form, I had done one spelling mistake. But I gave two superb answers. But I think there wasn’t a rhythm in interview. So, I don’t know.

IITs result are on 21 April. IIMs will be near to that. With each passing day, I am becoming more anxious.

Sachin 200 not out & me 198/450 (87%le) out in CAT

The highlights of last 5 last gave me 4 imp topics
1. Sachin’s 200
2. Rail budget
3. Union budget
4. CAT result (especially I want 2 speak last)


1. Sachin’s 200 :

What can I say abt tht inning – fabulous, fantastic, superb, marvelous, splendid………..i thinks all this words for him are gone before a decade ago……..I feel there is only one remark --- “GOD in outfit of human”.
Having record of most records in world cricket, he is not only peak player on earth but he is better than best player in a complete galaxy.

“Give me zoomed eyes,
Give me a place of umpire,
Giv me so many chances,
I wanna watch his inning again & again”

I don’t think he will be eligible for retirement in his life. But I guess 2011 is perfect stage for him. All things are set. The Indian team is bubbling with confidence, have best combination of batsmen & bowlers. India is hosting the world cup. I hope Wankhede stadium & day 02/04/2011 will become historical for that moment of “World cup win of India & retirement of Sachin”

I thank GOD for making Sachin for my India.

2. Rail budget:
I am pointing highlights & my opinions of rail budget
- No fare hike for passengers (7th time in row, very gud for passenger)
- Special task force for clearance of early projects (best)
- Railways not to be privatized (I thinks some private trains are need to be started. In country there is need of some more trains. By privatization, Govt. will get considerable revenue & also if new trains are started, it will be gud 4 them. Also, in paving new routes, if in partnership with Private Corp., Expenditure of govt will also reduce. I guess new routes, if established, will thrive the business)
- Pilot project for fire detection (Best)
- Six water bottling plants(in think here we can privatization)
- Aim 2 add 25000 km routes, currently hv 64015 km routes (better than best)
- Special task force to clear investment proposal (gud)
- rail freight rates remain unchanged (gud)
- mobile e-ticket services (gud)
- Women’s wing to be started for security of women. (gud)
- Rabindra Museum & Gitangali Museum (gud proposal, bt should it be in rail budget )
- to provide houses to all employees in next 10 yrs ( best, I hope it wil be implemented earliest)
- railway research to be set at IIT kharagpur (better than best)
- Modernization of factories (very gud)
- special train between India and Bangladesh to be started to commemorate 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. (best)
- 101 additional services to start on Mumbai suburban railways (best)


Also,
- aims to increase non core earnings to Rs10 billion rupees from Rs1.5 billion
- Freight loading target for 2010-11 fixed at 944 million tonnes, 54 million tonnes more than the current year's revised target. Gross traffic receipt for 2010-11 pegged at Rs94,765 crore.
- Allocation for construction of new lines increased from Rs2848 crore to Rs 4411 crore.
- Rs1,302 crore provided for passenger amenities in the 2010-11 railway budget against Rs 923 crore last year.
- Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC)will borrow 91.2 billion rupees ($1.97 billion) from the market in 2010-11.
Though share market has not welcomed budget( as companies texmaco & kalindee rail nirmal expecting order of rail wagon of 40000km against actually declared of 18000km), I hope this budget will be beneficial for everyone in country.

3. Union Budget
I wil prefer same style of portraying as above
- Implementation of GST & DTC from april10
- no to more private banks
- Plan allocation for power more than doubled
- Coal Regulatory Authority to be set up
- Rs 200 cr to Goa govt to meet green cover
- Propose to double allocation to Ganga clean-up mission
- All villages with 2000+ population to get banking facilities by 2012
- social sector spending is increased
- to launch 5 more food park
- to rewrite 7 revamp financial sector law
- to boost rural literacy mission
- no income tax for income up to 1.6LPA
Rs 1.6 lakh - Rs 5 lakh slab taxed at 10%
Rs 5 lakh to Rs 8 lakh slab taxed at 20%
Tax on income above Rs 8 lakh at 30%
-Excise duty on oil products, SUVs, MUVs, tobacco products hiked
-Excise duty cut on CFL
-Concession for medical equipments for hospitals retained
-Silver, gold import duty raised
-Toys fully exempt from central excise duty
-Service sector tax retained at 10 percent to aid the introduction of GST; more services to be taxed
-Accredited news agencies exempt from service tax
-Fertiliser subsidy to be reduced
-Farm loan payments to be extended for six months
-Coal regulatory authority to be set up

From above points I can clearly judge I need to study on tax system.

4. CAT result declared
There is nothing more to talk on my performance. But I wil talk out in next post.

Quest for shore from middle of sea

yes.........it is my quest for shore of MBA admission...........& in a situation just like a person in middle of sea , having no many calls for GD/PI.

"Start of success is always failure". Failed in XAT, IIFT, FMS, I believe(?) story of my success started(?). Thanks to myself for my performance in JMET10,

Atleast being shortlisted for IIT B,Kgp,K,R & M............, I hav to do some miracle in GD/PI, as I didn't attended IIT-R GD/PI.

Also, there were hopes(?) from CAT. I(along with all people in world except IIM autho.) don't know when wil result out. I will prefer to be optimistic & I need to be.

Afterall, world runs only on fuel of hopes.
