Dhobi ghat ka kutta

There comes a time in everybody's life when everything starts going haywire. A situation so hopeless that you wonder if your bachelor's was worth all the mental pain you underwent. I was in one such desperate situation and desperate situations call for desperate measures. What i did was something sane people usually don't do and i also would "sincerely" suggest people in such situations not to take the way i took.

I had applied for GRE as well. Like a month before the GRE exam i realised that my preparations for both GRE and CAT were neck deep in shit. Take a look at the mock scores below ( in percentiles ) . Test 815 was the first mock and test 801 happened the week before CAT.

QA - Quantitative Aptitude
VA/RC - Verbal Ability/ Reading Comprehension
LR/DI - Logical Reasoning/ Data Interpretation
OA - Overall Percentile


TEST QA VA/RC LR/DI OA

815 DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT HAS ALREADY STARTED

814 STARTING PROBLEM

813 96.57 95.21 98.01 98.49

812 97.98 98.17 97.21 99.65

811 70.02 76.40 98.71 93.41

810 84.71 67.52 42.26 72.82

809 BUNKED

808 90.41 96.01 9.14

807 97.21 59.62 25.92 77.80

806 DIWALI

805 BUNKED

804 65.38 76.00 82.72 81.13

803 COORG TRIP

802 94.66 51.14 67.72 83.55

801 92.58 60.48 71.03 83.10

P.S : Test 808 does not have a overall percentile because i
had a net negative in LR/DI section. ROFL.


So yes, i had become a dhobi ghat ka kutta - na ghar ka na ghat ka.

The master strategy that yours truly devised. One month from now would be for GRE. 10 days after that for TOEFL. 28 days after that for CAT. The 28 days also included that coorg trip where i made a jackass out of myself.

It was akin to that matrix scene..

Trinity:"Neo.. something like this has never been tried before"
Neo:"Thats why its gonna work!"
