To blog or not to blog; MBA, Career & Other updates

It feels nostalgic. It does indeed. This place used to be my another home way back in 2008-09 season. Nevertheless, it is good to be back and write something. In all these years, I have come a long way in regard of my career and other stuff. I may get promoted and I have also started a few websites. Apart from that, I am working on a small start up. Come on! start up is always a small. Unless you are born in the families of Tata or Birla.
Continue with CAT prep. or to not was the biggest question. Rather it is still around my mind. Some friends have suggested me to appear for GMAT and get out of the country. For that's not a solution, I think, I would not burn my ass this time by spending a lot of time in preparations. Of the late, I have started believing firmly that CAT is not just a common sense game, but it is also about the time your going through. Don't worry, I wont get philosophical here. It's harmful for the readership I know.
Though I said I won't be preparing this year that doesn't mean I am not throwing my hat for the contendership. I will and I must. Difference being, I will enjoy doing what I love. Blogging, developing websites, taking up SEO and Usability projects and certainly, continue doing my job at L&T. This place indeed has given me something that I must return before I quit. Precisely that's what I am doing now. Now don't think I am after quitting this place.
On a career path, I am pretty much on a accelerated road. Getting hands on multiple areas is a huge advantage. More over, you start to understand business process. And you start getting answer for most dreaded question. Why you want to do an MBA?
My mom says enough of this CATmadness and dad isn't talking much about it. Reason? They are after serious job of getting me married this year. Woahaa..it's not time yet guys. It certainly not.
In between all this, I have registered for free mocks of TIME and IMS. Let's see where you get to when you actually don't want to reach anywhere. :-) It will be good experience and seriously for first time in 4 years, now I understand what they mean by "Don't make CAT game of life. Keep it at enough distance."
With this, I conclude this post on a note of sorry for not updating this place. I won't call it a blog. I will be happy to know your CAT stories and things that keep you motivated.
So, the journey is still ON!!
