am writing this piece not for my personal satisfaction,but for thousands of aspirants
who are mediocre like me;who ruined their high school/graduation academics,and did
not achieve anything significant in last 20 odd years of existence.I just want to tell
you,all of you,who are reading this post is that YOU CAN MAKE IT if you are mad
enough to burn yourself. I owe my success to many(MMDT-12 members:
Sid,Rishi,Om,Harshil;Patrick Sir,Kamath Sir, Raghunath Sir),and it is my obligation to do
my bit for others.
@Omkarp
(http://www.pagalguy.com/u/omkarp),@retry,@rishi1415,@sid2222000,@PatrickDsouza
These are the people who made it possible for me.Their names should be here as
well.
Hope,it helps...Giving back to PG.

I cannot remember or write what all I read and from where but I read,read and read
till my eyes hurt to the point of watering and not opening.I hardly slept for 45
nights.

I am tired of writing all this,but this is not even 1% of what all I didI was so so so
desperate to make it that I could have died preparing for XL.I left nothing on
luck,and I was a time bomb waiting to be exploded.

activism.You cannot use corrupt means to get things going.Everyone is quiet in room.
Prof3-First they said 1.28 lakh crore loss then they changed to 2000 crore lossWhat
is this?
Me-I thought for 5-10 secondsSir,irrespective of the figures and numbers,there was
something wrong that happened.If CAG wouldn't have brought it out in notice then
things would have gone the same way.This cannot be the excuse for civil servants
not to work.
Profs 1,2,3(Impressed).
Prof2-This essay of your's on IndiaWhat are you trying to say?
Me-Sir,It is not the corruption;the bureaucracy;the red tape that affects our countryIt
is our attitude.For eg: I am a 24 year old boy who has not voted even once.So Am I
correct on my part to blame others?We should look within ourselves before looking
outside.
Prof3(Staring at me-Interested and curious)
Etc etc etcI cannot write everything.
Prof1-So you read?Do you know what is a booker prize?
Me-Sir,the first booker prize was given in year XXXXDefinition of Booker PrizeI
started counting the names of Booker prize winners from 1971.
Prof1(Irritated)-No no noWhat 1971?Tell us some latest Indian booker prize winners.
Me-In 2006 the booker prize was won by Kiran Desai for her work The inheritance of
loss.She is the daughter of Anita Desai,another renowned author of Games at twilight.
In 2008,Arvind Adiga won the booker prize for The White Tiger:it is a black humour
genre;There is something also called as Booker of the booker prize which is given
once in 25 years to the best of the booker prizes;It was won by Salman Rushdie who
writes on Magical realism and is famed for Midnight's children which is about post
Indian independence condition till emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi.
Prof1- VS Naipaul,Salman Rushdie,Amartya Sen,Malcom Gladwell,George OrwellYou
