Academic Performance... hehehehe

4. What do you feel about your academic performance till now?

This is the single most horrific thought in my mind. What impact does my poor academic record have on my career? I was a woeful student beyond all hope, and then, this stupid exam (aka CAT) came along and revived my hope in myself. Now at this crucial juncture of my career, my acads maybe one of the things holding me back.. Lemme have a decent attempt at this... And lets see how things shape up

I feel that my academic record, a CGPA of 7.28, does not really reflect my capability (now I dunno what the hell this line is supposed to mean, this helped me well in the interviews in college). Even though my past record, about 88% in 10th and 12th, is decent enough (who's isn't ;) ) , I feel that the load of co-curricular and extra curricular activities (now I will probably dish out some of the pathetic certis which I have) affected my academic record. But given the circumstances, and by weighing out the pros and cons of such activities in my personality development, I feel that I would do the same activities had I another chance to undergo my engg. (Now I know this is a real gamble.. I might be thrown out for being arrogant, stubborn, unwilling to change and all, but seriously, what have I got to lose... I feel its worth a shot.. to come out all stud like.... hehehe. and I'll try to make this answer as short and sweet as possible... more room for debate etc etc)



and that's it for today... enough of writing!!! do lemme know what you think about this...

My life rocks.... or does it???

ok...
I have been delaying this for a long while... Practicing what I preach.. Which is deliberation...
I am trying to come up with an answer to the question which I have been asked very recently by tati bhai.
Now I know I am not supposed to share it and everything, but what the hell... I am going ahead with it anyways!!!
All of this which I have written is open to criticism (I hope people read it and all) and I want to improve this answer to the point where it is nearly flawless...
Here goes...

Tell me something about yourself?

I am Abhishek Kapoor, B tech chemical engineer from NIT Trichy and currently employed in IBM at a post of Solutions Architect.

Coming from a culturally sound state pf Uttar Pradesh during my formative years, I have a deep rooted faith in the traditions and cultures of India. Hence, it is my wish to gain as much as I can from the wealth of this country and contribute (if I can in any way) something to it as well.

I have always been interested in “being involved” in everything that is going on around me, be it at school level or college level. Be it organizing events, anchoring shows, teaching students, participating in stage events or editing the college year book, I made it a point that I was one of the main contributors in each and every activity which happened around me.

Other than this, I have always been decent in sports participating in many table tennis competitions and winning some of them.

For me, it is imperative that I give everything I have put my hand in my best shot and then leave the rest up to God for it is not always that the results are in your hand.

Another thing I am really interested in is meeting people. I believe that each and every one of us is inherently good and it is the duty of each and every person to recognize it.

My hobbies would include playing table Tennis and Cricket, reading fiction and non fiction novels, listening to music and playing computer games. I have represented my school and college in Table Tennis and I have been one of the co-organisers of a cricket tournament in my college. I have also played at a district level competition in Counter Strike, a computer game.

Deliberation???

Now, I know. There are lots and lots of times when we feel that now is the time that we start thinking about our future. I mean seriously..
You remember the time we all passed out of skool, "Aah, I wanna become an engineer and rock the world like anything" same was the case with me in college.
But suddenly, the future doesn't look all that bright for me. Being lost in a sea of faces was never my wish when I took up the noble profession.
So, I thought again, this time MBA as the possible solution.

But herein lies the catch, if this is another mistake, where do I go? I'll be too old and too weather beaten at the point I realise that "ok now, This is not the Career I want"..

So what do I do?

The "only possible recourse" (am using that a lot now a days) would be that I try to find an answer to the million dollar question,
"Why do I want to do an MBA?"
now simple as this may seem and it may also appear that "this is a possible question for my interview, so I better prepare it", there is a deep underlying principle behind it.
Only when you realise the reason behind your wanting anything, would you want it more and strive hard enough to get it! The point I am trying to make here is, I (for one) have to be clear in my head abt the intentions with which I am trying to do anything and everything in life. I think it should help me in sorting out the mess which my life is slowly becoming!

chalo, enough for now!!! will write some more later....

Initiation

Well, I have been thinking a lot these past few days. In general, nothing special.
Something about my aspirations, what I wanna become in my life etc etc!

Now, like tati bhai and many more, I am expecting at least one good b-skool call this year. This is the place I am gonna be posting essays (?) et al abt what I wannabe doing these last days. GD/PI, questionnaire etc etc.
So, if you wanna know what I am doing etc etc, you are free to post your comments here!!!

rock on UDT!!!
