CAT viewed as cricket game
This is the article that i wrote when I was preparing fr the mother of all exams called CAT. Abt roughly Nov 2004.
Cricket : Game :: Cat : Test
Yups this is a perfect analogy. mmmm now this start a some creative post from me. plzz respond about how u like it??
First up few comparisons between cricket terms to *CAT test. they are:
Balls bowled: questions thrown at you.
Bowlers used: The various areas u are tested (QA, VA/VR, DI etc)
Type of ball: type of question (tricky, easy,medium)
Fielders : Trapping you into wrong area or lets say wrong choice in cat.
Runs : Correct answers acheived by you.
Wickets : Negative marking
Overs : The each spell of concentration (may be equivalent to single page in the cat paper)
Spinners : English section
Pacers : Maths Section
Off spinner : VA /VR
Leg spinner : RC
Right arm Fast : Pure difficult qa question
Swing Bowler : LR
Right arm medium fast : DI
The situation here is. You are chasing ofcourse. so u only bat and u don bowl. The biggest catch in this game is there is no
set target. target is decided after you play the game. The balls here are 150(i.e 150 questions). that is 25 overs. (approx 25 pages). Now this sets up the game.
Venue : Ofcourse the mecca of cricket(ur test centre ofcourse)
Time : 10:30 am to 1:00 PM
Game starts at 11:00 am (a two hour game.)
25 overs will be bowled.(i.e 150 balls or rather say questions) theres one differnce here the bowler wont wait fr the batsman. the ball just keep coming. no telling that people are moving near the sidescreen(i.e ofcourse distractions in ur test).
Remember you play right handed always.(i.e you mark with your right hand (now how u decipher right is upto you.))
Now i will come to teh 5 bowlers in this test
1)Shoaib Akhthar ( a pure menancing fats bowler. now if u are following my post carefully. u shd have guessed akthar : QA questions)
2)Irfan Pathan (a King of swing andis ou LR questions)
3)Muralitharan (the wily fox is our VA/VR questions)
4)Shane Warne (the crafty spinner is RC questions)
5)Mcgrath (this guy is Steady and so he put his spell of DI questions on us)
Each of them can have any amount of overs. you donno the no of overs fr each or say no of balls. You don know which 2 bowlers will be combined to form one section or how many will be clubbed. This all sets fr something which is way ahead of world
challenge going to be organized by ICC next year. Now You dont represent any team. You dont have any specific wickets. You are the only batsman. There will be negative runs for every wicket you lose. Now the extent of that is unknown. Dont think easy balls means easy runs. one miscued shot and the fielders are there to catch every shot of urs.
coz here is the list of fielders in the team:
1) Ricky Ponting
2) Mohd Kaif
3) Dion Ebrahim
4) Yuvraj Singh
5) chandana
now the keeper is ofcourse Mr Gilchrist who can take any catch u think u can just edge past him fr 4 runs. (i.e ofcourse
guessing answers)
Now this is wat i make up come one guys tell me wat ya think abt it. I think is awesome. Now hows that fr creativity.
Let me be honest here, am not too creative actually speaking but somehow came up with this idea and have crafted out this in one nite. Juz feel i have to thank rediff.com fr giving me a great platform fr trying something new. And also wanna add that am having a shot at this cricket game. (now u can say what i mean here is ofcourse test)

MS in US
This is the article i wrote when i was studying in my prefinal yr of Btech and preparing fr GRE. Roughly arnd March 2004.
I think that is good enough exposure for a novice at education in US. I haven’t dealt about the costs, financial aids, SOPS, recommendation letters, GRE in details etc since I suppose this being a general essay I need not be that exhaustive. Then I would like to conclude hoping that every reader of this article benefited something out of this. If anyone wants me to write another article on other particular topics of “MS in US” then it will be my pleasure to do the same.
MS in US
So you want to do MS in US? Well then I hope that this article will be very useful to you. I actually want to bring about every procedure that has to be followed for getting into any top graduate school for doing masters in US. Well the fact that I myself haven’t been exposed to all this means that you cant just follow me as I might very well make few mistakes.
Why???? :
Well now this is the obvious question in everyone’s mind. Let me give my reasons:
- Dream to pursue higher studies in the country where the latest technologies are developed or readily available. (man….how advanced are they?)
- Higher standards of studies in US universities. (wonder when will I be sitting in those lecture halls)
- The studies/courses are practical oriented and not just "learning by rote" studies followed in some universities in
- Faculties in the
- To pursue higher research,
- To get the STAMP of education in
- To get a good high paying job.(The salary slip that I will envy)
- To just get to the
Where????
Ok wanna do masters in US but then there are so many schools there and which is the right one, where should I study? This is what we might be thinking now. Well at the end of this article is the NRC ranking for aerospace Engineering in 1991-1992 is given. That gives almost a rough idea of the top 32 universities in aerospace in US. Ok with this question of rankings also come another very important question which one can I afford? This is a tough one to answer but as a thumb rule we can say that public (state run) universities are cheaper than private ones. We will deal in detail about costs little later. Also climate plays an important role so after deciding the schools, it is a better idea to visit the college’s website and know in detail about other details of the college. The internet is the most powerful weapon for unlocking all the details about the college’s and of course this article was mostly framed from the information in the net.
How????
Ok now the previous two questions were dealt with little ease but this one needs quite a lengthy answer. Well since I wouldn’t like to waste much of space wasting explaining, I rather have given the lists of things to do starting from April month of your pre-final year:
April - June (of your 3rd year):
Decide on your field(s) in which you wish to apply.
Write a draft statement of purpose/personal statement.
Visit Internet to find university links and learn more about them.
Start browsing Web sites to graduate programs and college catalogs.
Schedule the required standardized tests.
July-September:
Take standardized tests. GRE and TOEFL.
Report your scores sensibly. You will be saving $ 96.
Meet with faculty members that you know to discuss your personal statement and learn about possible programs.
Request Application Forms from graduate schools.
Start writing to faculty members of Prospective graduate schools.
Begin to develop your personal timeline for the application process.
October – November:
Based on your GRE scores determine the schools to which you plan to apply.
Finish your timeline based on each institution's deadline and financial aid deadlines.
Complete your personal statement, adjusting it to meet each application's specific needs.
Order transcripts from all post-secondary institutions (If fall term grades are expected, then check with staff in the registrar's office to see if a transcript including fall term grades can be sent in time to meet the deadlines of programs to which you are applying).
Complete application forms (First, do a draft on a photocopy of the form).
Approach your faculty members for Recommendation letters. Give your faculty all the information that they will need to write recommendations for you for each of your application schools.
December/January:
Prepare your applications. Get your bank drafts. Report your GRE/TOEFL scores if you haven't done so earlier.
Mail applications. Even if deadlines are later, it is good to get the applications in early.
February – April:
Wait for your admissions.
Keep track of your application forms .Check your online status regularly.
If you do not get financial aid, then decide according to the situation.
If you have obtained more than one admission, try to make up your mind about which program you will join.
Reject other offers politely.
June – August:
Contact your program coordinator to get more information.
Write to your guide and learn more about his/her latest research interests.
Block your tickets early. (Shop around for a good offer!)
Shopping! Prepare to leave.
GRE/TOEFL:
These are the two exams you will have to write if you have to go to any graduate school in US. First preparing for TOEFL isn’t that tough and I will recommend you to take GRE first and take TOEFL later. The idea behind this strategy is that preparing the verbal section of GRE will itself equip to almost tackle TOEFL. The TOEFL also tests some things different from GRE like listening skills and grammar skills. Now let’s see how we deal with preparation for GRE.
Preparation for GRE:
First I will suggest few materials for preparations, they are as follows:
- Barrons' Guide for the GRE - For Verbal prep only. Please buy the present edition.
- CDs for computer based testing ( I would suggest Kaplan, Powerprep and Princeton Review)
- Question papers, Verbal & Analytical exercises by Kaplan,
- Norman Lewis: How to build a better vocabulary & Rosenblum - These books can be used to strengthen your verbal skills.
Now since I hope that you can work out the schedule by yourself, I am not giving much detail about how to go about your preparations. But I can tell you that at least six months of continued preparations is required for cracking the GRE. First you can start by reading a vocabulary building book like the Norman Lewis one and then slowly go about going through the word lists of Barron’s. Well it’s a hectic work going through those unheard words but then its worth that hard work. Then finally one thing which is also widely accepted in GRE is that only way to improve your scores drastically is to improve your vocabulary.
Structure of GRE:
Going through any of the books on GRE will tell you more details regarding it like the system of scoring. First I can tell you that its not a paper based test and computer adaptive test (CAT). I can tell you simply that it adapts accordingly i.e. gives you the next question depending upon how you answered the previous questions. GRE has three sections: Verbal, Quantitative and Analytical writing sections. Quantitative section is easiest of the three for us and all it requires is not to be over confident, that’s all. Verbal section is the toughest and requires all the hard work that I prescribed you earlier. Writing section is something for which you cant do much as it is inborn talent in you. The only thing you can avoid is spelling mistakes, grammatical mistakes etc Though GRE actually test you on your analyzing skills. The scores for each sections are : Verbal = 800, Quantitative = 800. Writing = 6 point scale. That doesn’t mean that writing isn’t important. All three sections scores are equally distributed. For engineering students quantitative is the most important section. Going through any of the books will give more details regarding these sections.
Conclusion:
I think that is good enough exposure for a novice at education in US. I haven’t dealt about the costs, financial aids, SOPS, recommendation letters, GRE in details etc since I suppose this being a general essay I need not be that exhaustive. Then I would like to conclude hoping that every reader of this article benefited something out of this. If anyone wants me to write another article on other particular topics of “MS in US” then it will be my pleasure to do the same.
TNPCEE saga..
This article i wrote abt 1 yr ago when TNPCEE saga was really on and ppl were discussin like whether there will be TNPCEE exam at all after our great amma had done all tat usual hoolah boolah she is famous fr.
TNPCEE Saga
Mmmmm the exam fr which i broke my head and enede up getting a coveted seat in aeronautical engineering program of madras institute of tech, chennai. Man that was awesome fr me. I loved that pattern where almost every skill of urs was tested. You had to be a mugger cum hard worker to get thro that 200 marks of board exam. And it was not all, u also shd have that craftiness to get the required marks in entrance as well. Come on guys out there tell me which other entrance exam was so complete in making. I think TNPCEE testing was one such entrance exam. I scored abt 286 on 300 and was ranker around 1800's. And ofcourse i loved every bit of it.
I had no problems with it. Neither did my friend from my school or any in my city. So then why is this system being scrapped so asks any chennai lad walking down the street. The answer they get is very difficult to digest fr two reasons, one it means their uture has been toyed with by some so called politicans and also that they were not all informed abt this earlier, now thats totally unfair, brutal anddoenst deserve any justification.
Now wat does our beloved amma say, she says that it benefits rural students. Now let me talk frm rural students angle. Also let me tell u guys abt my knowledge on rural students of tamilnadu. During my TNPCEE time there was this same system but unlike last year for one special year in tamilnadu engineering entrance history there was 25% rural quota for the first as well as for the last time. This was history, as far as i remembre there was no people or student opposing this (i mean city lads) but ofcourse no city lad cud digest it. Now having said this, wat this meant was 25% of my college were rural ppl plus some more as well. Thus I have interacted this fellows and wud share my experience.
First case, a guy whose dad is nothing but cycle pucture shop owner, he has two sons both get thro using rural quota to this prestigious institution. One was senior to me by a year(that year there was 15% rural quota) and other my set. Both get placed in well to do companies (ofcourse are earning arnd 20k per month each)
Second case, his dad a farmer, hasnt seen more than some 2 or 3k in whole now earns 22 k in MNC called IBM.
Third case, a guy whose dad isnt even alive and is now very happy earning and saving his money fr his mom.
Now these were very few of the so many cases that I did observe in my own college, there shd so many hundered cases elsewhere as well. Now at that very moment I felt these quotas were justified but then I also saw hundred cases where students struggled cudnt speak more than two words of english, studied in tamil medium schools and were struggling. They always kept disance from city lads and also many eneded up struggling to find jobs but eventually did get some job or the other.
Having said all this, people might think I side rural quota, my answer is yes and no. yes fr the moment not just in tamilnadu but also whole india and ofcourse I dont mean have it in every damn college, have it only in some top 50 engg colleges in India. Reason was ofcourse mentioned above. For a city lad an engg degree frm top rated college in country means a difference either only to him or his family whereas fr a rural quota ppl it means a difference to his whole village. Thats wat wud transform this nation into a force to reckon with and that wat we need as well. We dont need CEO's and business tycoons to be working in US rather we needto see that there is not a single soul who sleeps hungry in this country.
But also I said NO to the question coz wat i eventually want my government to do is not to just give them quotas but build it up slowly in 5 to 10 years such that in that time, the rural students are able to beat the heck out of thsi city lads without any quotas. Give them facilities. I know thousands of rural students who didn have house to study, didn have power like u guys, didn have bed to sleep after the hard studied day. Give them these facilities plus the lecturers as well. I don say all this is not there but u know how much it is and even what is there is nothing but eyewash. Wat we need is ingle minded purpose to transform these people frm rural into something totally classy.
Ok these all might sound bit jazzy not practical but i believe its very much one and if i was given a chance to be the CM of this state that wud be the foremost idea in my mind. Coz as gandhiji said india lives in villages. Another thing is we always are selfish but tats okkkk as long as u are in ur family but once u come out u gotta think as an indian and not as a family man.
I have given loads of suggestions as well as my thoughts on this issue and now coming back to real issue, I believe if at all u wanna help rural whether its fr votes or fr real symphathy, the better system was the one which was during my year (remember there is 0% rural quota fr last 2 years as well as this year). This wud mean 25% rural ppl will face the real world and that wud also mean they will come out of their villages and face the music and understand what is what. I know a rural guy who didn know how computer looked like when he entered in first year and now he can write C programs that cud mock mocrosoft paint software. Ahhhh tats a development. I know u guys wud lose some coveted seat but my suggestion is there is more happiness in giving than taking. Also these rural quota shdnt apply to mkore than top 20 or 30 colleges otherwise there is no meaning in it. Coz tats where the real development is.

The Movies like RDB
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5646/3004/1600/Rang De Basanti.jpg_thumb.jpg">
mmmmmm saw this movie. Was another in tht great list of patriotic movies, i have seen in like say past 5 years. The list goes like this:
1)Yuva
2)Swades
3) RDB
4)Mudhalvan aka Nayak
All these movies had somethin in common if one had cared to noticed. It was all abt contemporary youth. In all these movies the hero was youth, the youth power. What the youth can achieve blah blah. mmmmmm now the interstin part, am the youth of this great nation called india so after watching all these movies do i replicate the hero of the movie. Now i watched the RDB the latest among these list and find it more appropriate especially in first half to what the youth of our nation is thinking. The youth of our nation is least bothered abt anything tat is happenin in our country like india. There is no Nayak like journalist youth (when i say no its mostly) who cares so much abt nation. There is no yuva like youth who wants to enter politics inspite of all the hoolah boolah(okkk exception is lok paritran). There is no swades like youth who gives up his fortune in a dreamland called US and comes back to serve his motherland. (again exception is lok paritran ppl).
But teh majority if not all of our youth is pretty much like RDB first half and are least bothered abt nation and think in terms of wat nation has done to them and not in lincoln's lines of wat u have done to nation. (also pardon my sms lingo, tats how my most writings will be). They need tat spark reminiscent of teh RDB to change to youth of RDB second half
Now some recent happenings in my daily life. After watching these 4 movies, especially after RDB, I got inspired to write somethin in those lines and so struck an idea in my mind, let me make a drama of this script and present it to again the youth of nation. Difference being am studyin in US and the youth to which am showin this, atleast most of them have come to find some fortune in US and don wanna even dream abt goin back to india. So I decide to show them the situation replica of my own univ (Annai Univ). I show how the youth becomes the VC fr one day and changes the happening of univ in one day so tat the foreign ppl start comin to this univ fr studies. http://uploadfile.putfile.com/videos/13610594041.wmv Here u say glimpses of my play.
The response fr this play of mine was mixed, ofcourse there were usual great actin, great coordination etc which pleased me. I didn hear anythin in lines of great concept, but will it happen. U were jokin werent u? Most of them knew it was just play and boy they have seen so many movies in same fervour and very well accept tat these things sound good in movies but in reality are least practical.
Now i end this first real post of me wonderin is it really hypothetical and all dreamy or these things tat we see in movies is really possible??? still dreaming........
mmmmmm saw this movie. Was another in tht great list of patriotic movies, i have seen in like say past 5 years. The list goes like this:
1)Yuva
2)Swades
3) RDB
4)Mudhalvan aka Nayak
All these movies had somethin in common if one had cared to noticed. It was all abt contemporary youth. In all these movies the hero was youth, the youth power. What the youth can achieve blah blah. mmmmmm now the interstin part, am the youth of this great nation called india so after watching all these movies do i replicate the hero of the movie. Now i watched the RDB the latest among these list and find it more appropriate especially in first half to what the youth of our nation is thinking. The youth of our nation is least bothered abt anything tat is happenin in our country like india. There is no Nayak like journalist youth (when i say no its mostly) who cares so much abt nation. There is no yuva like youth who wants to enter politics inspite of all the hoolah boolah(okkk exception is lok paritran). There is no swades like youth who gives up his fortune in a dreamland called US and comes back to serve his motherland. (again exception is lok paritran ppl).
But teh majority if not all of our youth is pretty much like RDB first half and are least bothered abt nation and think in terms of wat nation has done to them and not in lincoln's lines of wat u have done to nation. (also pardon my sms lingo, tats how my most writings will be). They need tat spark reminiscent of teh RDB to change to youth of RDB second half
Now some recent happenings in my daily life. After watching these 4 movies, especially after RDB, I got inspired to write somethin in those lines and so struck an idea in my mind, let me make a drama of this script and present it to again the youth of nation. Difference being am studyin in US and the youth to which am showin this, atleast most of them have come to find some fortune in US and don wanna even dream abt goin back to india. So I decide to show them the situation replica of my own univ (Annai Univ). I show how the youth becomes the VC fr one day and changes the happening of univ in one day so tat the foreign ppl start comin to this univ fr studies. http://uploadfile.putfile.com/videos/13610594041.wmv Here u say glimpses of my play.
