CATching up

Its been a very very long time since my last post....what kept me away was my busy or rather Lazy schedule....when procrastination is more than just a word ....for me procrastination had become a way of life....
But I have risen from the ashes and intend take control of my life (atleast it feels better when I say these words with some attitude, for a little while I feel proud of myself)...Anyways as the title suggests that there has been some CATching up by which I mean that I was after the CAT. Over the last few years I have been told that cracking the CAT is the only way to survive in this world....every person you find, irrespective of their profession or qualification aim for the CAT. I had tried once but failed so pathetically that I was shocked to the very core.
But now that I was reached the Nadir of my self-confidence I have to go for it again....I decided to pick up the bits and pieces of my shattered self-belief and give it a go...although generally people write about the experiences about CAT after they have cracked it, I chose to be different....you see due to cumulative grading if my percentile score lies on the minimal extremity of the curve or simply if I fail again...I might not be in a state to share the story of my loss...and it would be very harsh on my part to deprive you of such fascinating disasters that have become a part of my daily ordeals with CAT.
Anyways I shall come back to that later, but I must share something else. Yesterday, there was an end-of season sale at Pantaloons which I decided to attend as religiously as if it were some entrance exam....I followed every instruction about the offers announced on the floor and tried to find the best deals for myself......After finally narrowing down on the products and goods I would finally take home..I went to the counter...I saw that the queue was so long that a kid had grown into an adolescent by the time he reached the counter.....It was so pathetic that some of them had  brought folding chairs and sleeping bags as the journey to the counter would be a "journey" indeed.....when finally my turn came the guy at the counter who was quite aged  told me that he had been to one these "end of season sale"-s  as a customer earlier ....the queue was so long then that he had to use most of the food items and other grocery in his journey to reach the counter.....when he finally got there he was about to pay via credit card but learnt that he was in queue for such a long time that the validity of his card had expired.....so to repay for the items he had used in his "journey" to the counter he had to work at the same same store has over the years and now after so many years this store had become his second home now..........
