No matter how much i relent, my back is certainly to the wall. The only good thing here is that things can only move forward from here.... the advance needs to be well thought-out though.
Its been quite some time and i have been vexed by a lot of comments from my coterie. I must confess that it is all in good spirits and senses of the world. However, it is my strong feeling that one's advice or counsel to the other should be more empathy oriented and not on the basis of self potency. Swati has this charming way of coming out of ignominious situations and stay cheerful eternally, but her advice to me to refurbish the excitement and exuberance of the past is simply not palatable at this point of time. Pankaj may have one of the most 'lechatelierite like' aim in life, but he cannot expect me to house similar clarities. Vivek has a wonderfu appetite for risk-taking, but i am incompetent to buy his suggested methodology in order to come out of my present struggle. Ruchika may have a penchant and dominance towards clearing actuarial exams but her counsel and judgement about me not doing enough for CAT is not concilliable.
I do not mean that your words may mean any condescension or disdain.... but my point lies in the fact that i have my own set of strengths and the current challenges are not my cup of tea. I am ready to struggle and rigour my way but not at the cost of my fervor. For instance, give me a topic and seek a presentation or a GD, i will surely not disappoint you... but expecting me to be cheerful or competent or risk-centrical or visionary may be too much of an asking considering the plethora of other qualities that can be sought.
I think the present stage demands stoicism and nonchalance and i may have my task cut out over the next six months.
PS: I know none of you will reply to this, but we can definitely take it up over the call.

perception my friend perception.
Which we all have of ourselves and of others. And i don't know who is right? me or the others, since none see me in a whole, neither me nor them.

@sanjay
baat koi naa hui... just that I get vexed when i have multiple people advising on similar lines...
But you pointed it right dude... perception makes and perception obliterates...
For others, you are not answerable, but only in doing your own task.
As I have always said, giving advice is a dangerous thing.
Add+Vice.
Even from the wise to the wise and all courses may run ill.
Beware. You have been warned.
@ johney
How can i refute your counsel.. they have always been so very synchronous... and as you said ... we have never parted...you are there to counsel me always... not advice
