(NIIT is partner in organizing these tests)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They don't know much. There experience in conducting exams is around the same level as tendulkar's in politics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;_____________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Things you need to take to exam center&lt;/i&gt;: PHOTO ID, VOUCHER AND (EMAIL) IIM Admit Card.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anything else, you will be &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;stripped&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; of it. They provide pencils, erasers, rough sheets and timer is also there on screen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;_____________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step1: Go to test center &lt;i&gt;atleast 90&lt;/i&gt; mins before the "appointment time".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step2:Get yourselves "verified" (Photo-ID take a genuine one, some people got &lt;i&gt;pained and ragged &lt;/i&gt;by the cat team. Genuine = PAN card, Driving License, Ration Card, Election card)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 3: Stand in line for Photo and biometric entries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Remember the Driving License office? -- you will be asked to sit in front of a camera, photo will be taken, then three times right hand finger imprints followed by three times left hand finger imprints)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 4: Collect rough sheet, pencil and erasers. And go to your &lt;i&gt;assigned seat&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 5: Those guys will do everything, do nothing. They will come enter passwords, and go and come again and enter passwords again. And go again. You can read a "Rules and Regulations Gita - RAR veda" in the mean time. &lt;i&gt;Its a collection of all the regulations from all the tests which a student takes in his lifetime.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 6: Exam time! After they finish typing passwords for all, they will announce and ask you to click on "start the exam" button on your screen&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 7: Click on it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 8: Questions 1-20 --&gt; Quant, Questions 21-40 --&gt; English/Passages, Questions 41-60 --&gt; Data Interpretation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 9: You can GO to any question number by clicking "preview" and selecting the corresponding question number. ( :( I CAME TO KNOW THIS AFTER 1 Hour, so did bad in DI)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;For Example: If you have attempted enough in quant and english, jump to DI by clicking preview and selecting questions from q41-60 which you haven't answered.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 10: Attempt all sections handsomely :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 11: I saved 2-3 mins of your exam time and burnt 200 grams of your nervousness, I deserve a treat if you get through. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Happy Meowing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;*This blog is dedicated to all the goats who were mercilessly butchered today*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 378px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pSPfAguAOfI/SxFANKkBmRI/AAAAAAAAAOs/k4ZKizH15cU/s400/goat.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409175222366607634" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4433041178719442159-5471001815854503663?l=welcome-to-blogganpur.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcome-to-blogganpur.blogspot.com/feeds/5471001815854503663/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4433041178719442159&amp;postID=5471001815854503663' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4433041178719442159/posts/default/5471001815854503663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4433041178719442159/posts/default/5471001815854503663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcome-to-blogganpur.blogspot.com/2009/11/cat-computer-system.html' title='CAT - Computer system !'/><author><name>mahek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02309604414337894662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pSPfAguAOfI/Sgci1Y3VsJI/AAAAAAAAAHo/2ehcH4CufV8/S220/100_1826.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pSPfAguAOfI/SxFDxk1q0BI/AAAAAAAAAO8/6Sw7d3czGyg/s72-c/Black_white_cat_on_fence.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433041178719442159.post-7072926310489804661</id><published>2009-05-10T10:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T11:19:48.968-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Population Control...

I drank water from the bottle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got up. I signed in the register my 'out time'. I got down. I got down to the cellar. (thats where i park my car - b2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as i think there was nothing unusual till here. Normal crap story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it all began when I was driving back home...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a very bad accident. The experience was even worse than the accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please check the image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pSPfAguAOfI/SOUoo2wbsbI/AAAAAAAAAEA/vvBPcUQrs58/s1600-h/caar-accident.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252649222756086194" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 473px; cursor: pointer; height: 294px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pSPfAguAOfI/SOUoo2wbsbI/AAAAAAAAAEA/vvBPcUQrs58/s320/caar-accident.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;[ from right "me in car" , from down "the guy on bike"]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was one of the worst day (night) of my life...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12:05 AM , Out of nowhere did a bike come at full speed right in front of my car only to get dashed by my car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have got a good habit of seat-belt so i was saved from any kind of injury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the guy on bike was not so lucky... He ended by flying in the air and breaking quite a few bones in the accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that was when the story began...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I was safe... I came out of my car and immediately checked for the health of the bike guy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats where i got a shock... as the guy was struggling to get up... people gathered around and started asking me questions...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was the "guy in car" who had hit the "poor guy on bike"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy on bike was loosing blood and people were worried about how will he pay money and why was i driving on the road! Some took the liberty to ask me for money to keep quiet. While all this was happening the guy on the bike was still bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I somehow pushed the guys and asked the injured guy whether he was hurt anywhere. He was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had a fractured leg. And he needed immediate medical attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shouted at the mob ready to engulf me because I was the "guy in the car". I said whoever wants to thrash me can sit in the car and thrash me after I get this guy to hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was worried, but I was right. Finally, the people now turned there attention to the guy who by now had lost enough blood. He was picked up by a few people and made to sit in the rear of my car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank god. As he sat,he immediately spoke to me and told sorry since he realized that he came too sudden on to the road and had caused accident. He asked me to leave him there with his bike and go home. I couldnt as he was bleeding. I said I will leave you till the hospital, but he insisted on going home rather than a hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took him to his sisters home which was nearby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if the mob thing was not enough, the guys sister came out and started scolding him for getting &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;another&lt;/span&gt; accident, followed by her mother-in-law who repeated the same things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these was happening when the guy was seriously bleeding. The sister took a mere 15 mins to change clothes apart from 10-15 mins of drama outside her house and get in car to take him to hospital. His husband was out and not lifting phone throughout this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12:35AM. Finally he was admitted to the hospital. I felt relieved as nothing serious happened to him when he was with me. I waited for some time, gave the guys sister my details and went home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But throughout this I felt ashamed at the way the guy's family treated the matter. They were more interested in scolding him than treating him for injuries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that was not enough trouble for a night, was it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For being a good person, one has to pay the price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went home and told my father the complete thing. He called up the doctor who was taking care of the guy and confirmed the status. He got up and got ready for the drama which was to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now comes the shocking part,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to the police station to find that I was accused in hit-and-run case of a poor painter boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;I was to be arrested immediately. The case has been booked and the victim was seriously bleeding in ICU.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;victim's &lt;/span&gt;jija who had been missing throughout the drama had lodged the complaint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the police, the case was very clear, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I was the rich guy in car who hit the poor guy on the bike.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shocked. Surprised. Jolted. Hit with lighting bolt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The invisible &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;jija &lt;/span&gt;knew&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;exactly what had happened. I rammed the car into the bike breaking his bones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was what exactly how I felt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;victim&lt;/span&gt; was not even asked whether it was his mistake or not,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;victim's&lt;/span&gt; sister was not even asked whether there was anyone who had helped them,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;victim's&lt;/span&gt; sister's mother-in-law informed that he was admitted to hospital after being run-over-by-a-&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to complain about the accident so that I could claim insurance for the damaged car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up as a criminal who had brutally run-over-a-poor-guy and dissappeared after the heinous act.&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is how I ended up in police station. First police case filed against me, in my whole family I guess, in three generations, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But like all stories, this story too had a happy ending, the &lt;em&gt;victim&lt;/em&gt; got consciousness and immediately stated that he was at fault and i was not negligent. I guess any indian couldnot lie on Gandhi Jayanti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Case withdrawn with mutual settlement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had hickups when police personnel started demanding money for the whole case and when we found out that guy had no license when he was driving and insurance money for damage to car and guy will not be easily available if the guy had no license...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But thanks to senior police personnel who intervened in the case, explained to me and my family the full case at the end of the day, how it would not effect anything for me in future since the case was filed in haste by a relative, and how i need not pay a single penny to any police personel for the services renedered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the end, a good and bad example for me to learn and how to be more careful in future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tips for you:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) In case of accident, make sure your first priority is saving lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) In case people harass you, dont lose calm, stand tall, even if you are at fault be humble and accept it, and emphasis on saving life of the guy at all costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) Please make sure you get contact details of atleast two-three witnesses on the spot of accident.(which I failed and hence the drama)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4) Try your best to be polite when talking to people in hospital, they take care of thousands of patients and you are no special god-gifted super-duper being to get special treatment. Be patient when in hospital. Those guys know what they are doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5) Dont believe the words of others in case of accident and try to get direct information from patient/victim. (As in my case, the victims mother was telling everyone in hospital that a rich guy had run over a poor guy)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6) Be polite to police personel, however harsh they appear to begin with, they will melt down and be more helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In short, never lie, have failt in truth, its the harder way, but surely the rewards for standing by what is right will give strength to tackle any problem in future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To finish off, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001426/"&gt;Gandhi&lt;/a&gt;: Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Also, please pray for the healthy recovery of the &lt;em&gt;guy-on-the-bike&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;_______________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;UPDATE: They are asking X lac''s because they are poor. Some lawyer promised them that he could get X lac's of rupees from us from this case and they obliged to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hard Lesson I learnt: Never trust a poor person in accident cases if you are rich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4433041178719442159-6227312171774884911?l=welcome-to-blogganpur.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://welcome-to-blogganpur.blogspot.com/feeds/6227312171774884911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4433041178719442159&amp;postID=6227312171774884911' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4433041178719442159/posts/default/6227312171774884911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4433041178719442159/posts/default/6227312171774884911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://welcome-to-blogganpur.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-experience-with-truth.html' title='My Experience with Truth....'/><author><name>mahek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02309604414337894662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pSPfAguAOfI/Sgci1Y3VsJI/AAAAAAAAAHo/2ehcH4CufV8/S220/100_1826.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pSPfAguAOfI/SOUoo2wbsbI/AAAAAAAAAEA/vvBPcUQrs58/s72-c/caar-accident.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry></feed>
