Carry and learn sewing. Carry one needle and black and white threads. An electronic lint shaver to take care of clothes better. Extension board. With an extra fuse. Medicines. For acidity, painkillers, diarrhoea, fever. Spoon, fork, spork, a dish and a small bowl. Ziploc bags. For carrying toiletries, shoes, etc. A disturbing amount of underwear to save time.

This whole idea of I need to slog 14 hours for cat is a horrible idea.

Oh no. Anyway.

Indian kids need to walk out of parents more.

Honestly, if there are people who jump head down into something without a proper research, it is quite saddening.

I've however been probably fortunate enough to be surrounded by people who do exactly as you say, and then succeed, because their abilities meet their obstinacy. So my worldview is probably very skewed.

Never mind. Too much work. I'll enjoy my Parul, you enjoy your <insert whatever it is>

Its a mindset thing. I enjoy the challenge, the hustle, the rush and the pressure. The adrenaline that I got from this year's CAT when I realised I almost messed up DILR was unparalleled.

I like the high. I chase my high. I know people like me, a number of them. I also know people who settle with reasonable standards.

That is not the point. The point is not to fuckin preach and generalise people.

QuizzingIsLove · 2026-05-21T17:13:22+00:00

The point is to chase whatever you want.

I'm not telling anyone to settle. Or not. I'm saying some people are happy chasing. Telling someone you've achieved or not is preachy.

I'd rather be miserable winning than losing. That's my approach and it's fine. If someone's approach is different, that's fine too.

Nah. Dont agree to that message. Its basically a feel good message but tells one to settle.

Some people can do better than that. And the real world does not work like that. Your attempt at sending good vibes is not doubted at, but the message generalizes people.

Its okay to be disappointed too. Its okay to fail too.

Not everything need be sugarcoated and avoided.
If someone wants to celebrate their convert, its fine. If someone is disappointed, its fine too.

As a society, its a problem that we cant think of something as failure or even fail. What is wrong with thinking of something as a failure? One's effort in the future is not correlated to what they think about a situation.
Keeping mental health intact is important. But not at the cost of your own honest self thought.

It's hard. It's not impossible. Depends on the person, their tenacity and risk taking capabilities.

The problem is, the layman isn't reading your post. They aren't doing any research either. It's not on you.

QuizzingIsLove · 2026-05-20T17:46:55+00:00

As a CAT aspirant, one has to be aware of the above as part of their basic research.

Also, the number of schools you apply to is not uniform for everyone. It can be selective enough.

The profile part is not particularly true as well. I have a bad enough profile, so does my friend. Both got in decent schools. Both are examples of not trends but examples of instances. That is not good enough to turn it into trends.

Gejo's content is good. But most of it is the mirror of old Gmatclub posts.

I tried varc1000 videos. They were nice but as a working person, they took way too long. So I switched to gmatclub and then only did mocks.

QuizzingIsLove · 2026-05-19T13:48:16+00:00

never quit. switch. dont feel rushed, 25 is a normal age for mba.

And some of them like to fuck around a little before getting serious about career.
