Blog Reclaimed

Its with immense satisfaction that I am posting on my first blog after 3 years.
I had lost track of this one during my working days and then could not reclaim it due to Blogger - Google issues and there was no one to help with my login.
Finally , aaj fir try kiya and here's the post :)
There was one more historical thing that happened today.I got hold of a book that had made me Rushdie buff "The Anthology of Selected Indian Writing". After KNIT , I had been trying searching for the book in Bangalore with no success.Finally got it in the IIML library here.

Atlas and Globe ..

These were two important locii of anyone's geographical knowledge before the advent of Wikimapia and Google Maps on the net.

Now ,my take on the beast :- Shot 1 -- Well prepared.Getting consistently good percentiles in VA with a DI havoc now and then in CL Mocks.Did not learn that out and succumbed to QA pressure as well on the D-Day. Result - 92 percentile Shot 2 -- Frustrated by Time AIMCATs.Thought , I am good for nothing.Started getting low scores in the last mocks as well as few practice tests. End result -- 85 percentile Shot 3-- Good learning at IMS.Was doing everything correct except of doing it on the right day.Screwed VA completely along with a bit in DI.

End result - 99.54 percentile and 3 calls L,I,K 2 calls A and C were not there due to 92 percentile ...
