Cudn’t find a cooler way to start the first line.
-- For some strange reason, the Mindbend logo appears weird to me. Some say that the initials of the fest “M” and “B” are encrypted in it. I’ve been searching for them since my first year, but never actually could find either M or B or anything, for that matter. Other people after careful inspection have gathered some answers, but hats off to the designer. He actually is making our “minds bend” beginning with the logo itself. Somebody pls change it from the next year yaar. Fed Up with that.
-- In 1980 IDBI bank rejected loan for Ambani. In 2008, Mukesh Ambani is planning to buy it
-- Just for Remembrance sake. A technical fest called Quest, was organized last year (No idea why it was held). It was well sponsored and all. The then juniors participated with much enthusiasm, and the people who actually won something dint get anything. PRIZE MONEY yet to be distributed..!! Where are the Conveners..? Arrears, here and there, are accepted (sometimes). But prize money delays..? Cant forgive..
-- Barack Obama’s Approval Rating … 75%--42%--10%. Is this the person whom we dreamt, would change the world..?
-- Attendance, this time has taken its toll on the students. And the first casualty, sadly is from Mech dept. Guess what happened when a 2nd yr Mech student met his lecturer regarding his attendance.? “He Fainted, not on the ground but on the Lecturer himself, literally..!!”. He was all over him. And the Prof stopped revealing attendance details to anyone from then. He says “I don’t want to see anyone else ON ME”.
-- From April 1st feel free to use any ATM in our college. Canara or State Bank. No additional charges. At last.
-- Chemical Engineering Dept. It has been a quite one. It has never made an issue, and never been an issue (except for its HOD’s, LOL) in the college. Its just like, the whole dept is in a great sleep all the semester lurking around in the corner. With great depression and heart-felt sympathy, I hereby pray to the heavens to let the pride and dignity of the Chemical Dept rest in peace, as it is no longer with them. Lost and buried somewhere along the East Coast of India on 22-03-2009. Its okay dudes. Get over with it. As ur T-shirt says, “U do not need to explain, we understood it.”
-- Last Factorial may have hurt the Manchester United fans. This Factorial will hurt even more. Fulham 2-0 Man U. Liverpool 5-0 Aston Villa. Dream about the premiership title now.. C’mon ppl. Fess Up. Just because some 5% of the World’s dumbos are Man U followers, u just cant follow them blindly.
-- Just imagining. Where would Cristiano Ronaldo would be had John terry scored that penalty in Moscow.? To what would his stupid 42 goals count to .? Ans: Would be busy screwing up his talent in Madrid.
-- I sometimes, get a feeling that our college girls, are better than some of them (girls. ;-)) shown on Splitsvilla.. :-P.
-- Rumors have it that, there will be no Production Department from next year. It will be merged with Mechanical, and Mech seats will be increased from 90 to 180 (including the OBC quota and others). Other dept seats also to be increased. This peace of information is contestable, may or may not be true.
-- Reminding of Reservations, I think Union government shud make a reservation for ppl, who have no reservation ..?
-- Above joke is a phaltu joke, I agree. LOL.
-- Above two lines and this line, are just for filling the space. Nothing special.
-- Okay, Enuf now, Serious Stuff. If I remember correctly, I was the one who informed you guys about the rules regarding the internals and attendance, Right .? Now, I have less than 15/50 marks in three subjects, and met my project guide only thrice whole semester. If things go on with this pace, I may well be writing Factorials, for the whole of next semester. .. . Scary..!!
-- 348 out of 545 MP’s of Lok Sabha are involved in one or the other cases or law suits. Some are denied Bank Loans, Passports.. Whatever..!!
-- All those playing Anagram, don’t just play for the sake of increasing your scores. Archiving them or manipulating them is just a minute’s work. Play if you are really interested, otherwise, better leave it. It’s a waste of time.
-- Use Cyberoam Client for login purposes. It’s a lot better and easier. And it is not compatible with Vista.
-- I’ve warned you about Segmented Downloading, but no one’s taken heed to it. Continue with your practices, and make sure your hard disk has a warranty. It will come in handy.
-- Just a small thought. Where would Sania Mirza be without boobs and looks.? And Where would Saina Nehwal be with them..? Pretty hard to imagine, Right .?
-- Are Bombay Rockers good enough for us ..? Or do we deserve better .? Or are we expecting too much ..?
-- For a torrent, along with seeds and peers, u also need to have trackers. Most of you might be knowing this, but nevertheless, most of u keep on asking me “How to download from torrents, when they are blocked in college ?”. Ans: Add trackers, Search for them online.
-- Studies that suggested sodas such as Coke and Pepsi kill sperms and exotic lap dancers make more money when they are at peak fertility have been awarded the 2008 Ig Nobel prize.
-- Recently, one particular night, may be a week ago NC has opened a bit late, say 1130 PM. Any reason Why .? Mr.X and Mr. Y were boozing in canteen..!!

Factorial 4.0
Published on 19 March 2009.
This Factorial is dedicated to the Liverpool Football Club for Screwing Man U at Old Trafford 4-1. Here's to toast for all the Liverpool fans : "We will never Walk alone"
And now,
-- Our college is no longer a Deemed University. That status is compromised.
-- Some renowned astrologist says that Mayawati will become the PM in 2014.
-- Rs 28,000 for 6 days in hospital, treated for normal fever/typhoid..? And HIV test also included in those tests..? Something’s definitely wrong with the Mediclaim system or in Metas Adventist. Honest Advice: Ask for Mr. Amit Shah, if u join (I strongly recommend not to) Adventist. He’s the best of the lot.
-- Ever noticed the name “aXXo” in LAN..? or in any movie Dvdrips..? Well, that’s the trademark for an individual who rips the movies and uploads the torrents online. As per the latest news, he is an teenage guy who still is not eligible for prosecution (below 18 yrs). The Producers Council have made a case against him for copyright infringement and the cops are waiting for him to become 18.
-- The number of book shops/centres in a radius of 5 km around NIT Surat – 2 (Lucky and Popular). or 3 may be, 4 max
The number of book shops in a radius of 200 mts around an institute in Hyderabad which offers coaching in 9th-10th class for a test conducted by an institute which in turn offers coaching for IIT-JEE – 6
-- One thing I really cant stop watching and cant stop hating --“ Roadies”. We all know its fake, and the fight b/w Polomi and Palak is also fake. But u know. It’s a nice show .!! LOL.
-- 90 Crores -- Dowry given during the wedding of a filmstar’s son in Hyderabad. Now u know where’s all the money in the world, and why this recession. (LOL)
-- It may be a known fact, and I think everyone knows this, but just for confirmation: “End sems from April 20 and No Zero phase placements this time for 3rd yr”.
-- The difference b/w US and India is that one can kiss in public in US and piss in public in India. hehehe. It’s a pity that some 2nd yr couple forgot these basic fundas, and started kissing in public, that too in a city restaurant. Yeah, they got thrown out eventually, but that’s not the case. What a bad choice of place to exhibit their emotions.? Don’t spoil the college’s reputation people. PDA is not IN. atleast in Surat..
-- And speaking of College’s reputation, The one word which puts Iscon Mall and Big Bazaar, on their toes : “SVNIT”. A sales man in Big Bazaar says : “ I can easily point out people who come to our store and put something in their pockets and go. Bahut logon ko pakde the.. usme 90 percent of them are from SVNIT”.
-- Normal Pepsi-300 ml for 10rs and My can-200 ml for 15rs. So why buy MY CAN ..? Is it really that good or is it just the poshness..?
-- American Budget for War on Terrorism in 2007- 161.8 billion dollars. No of American lives claimed by terrorism from 2004-07 – 280 (70x4)
American budget for Health Care for the year 2007: 3 bilion dollars, No of American deaths due to Coronary heart problems – 450,000 every year. ( Excerpts from Zeitgeist Addendum).
-- Barack Obama’s popularity has declined from 75% approval rating to 42% since his election as President.
-- The punishment in Afghan prisons: All the convicts are made to stand naked in front of female Yankee guards and are made to masturbate. The one who squirts last will have his penis attacked by stray dogs.
-- Its Official now. “Manchester United are the most Over-rated and over hyped team in the World.” Need any confirmation..? Jus go to any Man U fan and say “1-4, 14th March, Old Trafford” See how his/her face turns pale white.
-- All of us are entitled to have sex. We can have it in any position, anywhere, and anytime and as responsible citizens we will use condoms as well to prevent STDs. Good, But if you are bringing a girl to your house, pls make sure that u dispose off those used condoms once the act is done and make double sure that none of your friends notice them, even by chance. To hell with these 2nd yr ppl. Freaks..! Everything has to be told.
-- The small white cubicle beside the Canteen. Ever seen that.? As per the official records it costed 1.4 lacs for the college to build it. It is a soon-to-be juice shop.
-- Lastly, pls don’t use DC as a tool for downloading something u need and shutting it down when u don’t have the need to. Imagine what happens if everyone thinks the same way. Stop being selfish ppl. Keep ur Clients open atleast in the after hours(8 pm-2 am). See to it that ur Upload/Download Ratio is at least 1. Share something other than what u have downloaded.
Not everything is worth mentioning.

Factorial 3.0
Published on 13 March 2009.
The Wright, The Rong, and the rest.
-- Our internals are NOT CANCELLED. They are as per schedule. May be the End-Sem schedule will be tweaked a lil bit. So, start mugging up. And they say our final yr days are shortened, Rumours are doing circles that the sem will end by 20th April..!! Nuthin’s confirmed as yet. Wil do it in the next factorial.
-- Is Renesa truly impartial..? Of course.. It will be very dumb of us to expect anything in the college to be so..!! (All of us are partners in this crime for committees, which has been happening for ages). But Renesa needs to be. After all, it’s the magazine of, for and by the college. The problem with Renesa, and its much acclaimed “Rumour Mill” is that it has been so busy concentrating on affairs of others that its ignoring the link ups and breakups happening right under its nose.
-- Grandmas’..!! What..? What about them..? They are everywhere.. ADM, Hostel Office, Bank, Departments. I don’t have anything against their age. I highly respect that.(lol).. But, they are playing with us like anything dude. Their arrogance and strong headedness is just way too much (“Her highness” in ADM is uncontrollable..). Do we have a reservation for senior citizens in our college ..? Or what..?
-- In the wake of “Great Economic Depression” which’s prevailing right now, I think the time has come for our beloved DB Don, to concentrate on the quality of jobs, rather than quantity. And 3rd yr ppl, i’m getting a really scary feeling thinking about ur placements.
-- Urgently Required. A MAIN SEMINAR HALL. Fuk those 800 capacity, 4 storey, state of the art hostels. We need a seminar hall ASAP. It would be a pity for the students of 9.3/10 accredited institute to be squatting on the floor of the Staff Club for the pre-placement talk of those Multinational Companies.
-- The number of times the floor tiles were changed in Civil and Apmech depts, in the last two semsters – 4
-- Believe it or not. The space between H-10, H-9, H-8 and the main road is to be made into a lush green park..!!
-- Dance auditions were decent enuf, barring some extra-curricular activities but singing auditions were a big joke. Yukk.. They sucked big time.
-- This is for your own good. “Disable segmented downloading ” This will have a bad effect on ur hard drives, forming clusters in it.. U don’t need to know what exactly that is, but do this: (for versions of greylink 5.56 and above) Go to Settings, Upload Slots, and in that small space over there See to it that the box with: “Allow to download via several hubs simultaneously to the same users” is NOT ticked and the box with “Disable simultaneous uploads to the users with same ip” IS ticked. And, for other DC Clients search for similar options as written above and do what is needed.
-- For gods sake.. please use Condoms.. I know some of u have already “been there.. and done that !!..” But, whatever u do, pls use a rubber, India has the highest number of AIDS cases in the world.
-- And those Fake shares which I did. LOL .. LOL . Why are u guys so pissed off, if I fake shared..? I dint share it for months along, or for a day at least. Was goin thru the settings of Greylink and experimented something. Anyways, u guys are not so dumb not to notice that it’s a fake share. And, What’s the “final yr reputation” gotta do with this..? Don’t cry over everything.. As Russell Peters says “ C’mon, Be a Man..!!” So, the reason why everyone’s so concerned is not “Why would he share it?” but “How could he share it ?” Isnt it..? hehehe..
-- It has come to my notice that Factorial 2.0 and its previous versions have deeply hurt the sentiments of the Kashish Team, and Gujarati ppl. Many ppl have PMed me, SMSed me and giving a look on my face as if I’ve been screwing them for eternity. So, for the record, here’s an apology. “Sorry K-Team, sorry G-People.” And the phrase “Feel free to imagine” will be abandoned from further usage. LOL.. I will come up with a new line.
Wanna become an operator for this hub..? Contribute to the factorial.. !! limited edition offer. From now on.. Factorials updated every Saturday.

Factorial 2.0
Published Feb 26th 2009.
The Wright, The Rong and the rest.
Academics first.
---Do NOT bunk classes. New rule states that, if ur attendance is less than 75 %, ur grades will take a toll. To be clear, If ur attendance at the end of the semester (including ur medical certificate etc etc..) is, say in b/w 50-75 % then ur grades in that course will be decreased by 1 unit. i:e AA will be AB, AB will be BB, and so on. And more strict rules will follow for less than 50% attendance.
--- Pay attention to ur internals. No re-internals will be conducted from now on. If u miss a 25 mark test, whatsoever the reason might be, u missed it for eternity, Ur grades will be calculated for the rest 75 marks only. And if ur internal marks are less the 30% for the first 50 marks i:e if u get less than 15 marks in the first two internals combined, both ur internals stand cancelled. And ur performance will be evaluated only on ur End-Sem. Whatever marks u gather in End-sem will be doubled and counted for 100. ( It may be a blessing in disguise for some, or a slap in the face for the others.. but u better watch out. )
And now..
-- What if Gujarati Jury has sensed AR Rahman’s Oscar ambitions first (Tuesday 24-02-2009, TOI) . ? What if Guj readers knew abt Slumdog before hand..? What shd we do ..? Go and garland them..? this may be some news for hardcore Gujjus’ but, does it deserve to be on the Front page of a National Newspaper.? Nonsense.. , Why are these ppl(or TOI ) so proud of themselves..? If they are let them be, but why show it on a Newspaper day in and day out..? Aren’t there any other imp news. ? Irritating.. Arrgh..
-- Is the Rumour Mill in Renesa dedicated only for the news on some fictitious couples..? There are so many other things happening out there. And the apology letter saga.. Where do these specimens come from..? ;-)
-- One honest qn. Why is a blue-film called so..? Why BLUE ..? Any particular reason ..?
-- Dec 21, 2012 .. Doomsday ..? Start searching on google.
-- Kashish Again .. The T-shirt of Kashish is an interesting one. The striking aspect of it being the picture of a “goggled skull” on the rear side. What does a pirate skull signify..? What do pirates do .? Feel free to imagine. LOL..
-- Our State Bank can buy a new Plasma TV and start a new ATM, but cannot open a new counter for transactions (at least for college students). Weird..?
-- Is Frieda Pinto the most over-hyped person in the world right now ..? Look at her acting in Slumdog. First timers in Telugu movies do better than that..
-- Yahoo mail is easier to hack than any other Mail provider. ( don’t ask me how)
-- The water geyser in my block is a special one. It works only in summer. We keep on complaining abt it starting from the odd sem, and by the time they repair it, a sem passes by.
-- So, Mindbend is from April 1-4. 50 odd days for conducting a National level Technical Symposium .? Wonder how these 3rd yr guys pull it of ..!! Lets just hope, we are not fooled on April 1.
AND Finally,
One of my friends, a 9 pointer, who dint bunk a single class till now, all these four yrs, that too being in Mech, and whose room lights used to be switched of by 11 PM, and who has just heard of ppl goin to Night Canteen, but never been there ( he never had the need to ), IS NOW—
Bunking the Classes regularly and sitting in the canteen strategizing on various things,
Meeting Prof’s for matters not related to academics,
Waking up till 3 AM and even thought of going to NC once.
Wonder how ppl change. Cultural Sickness, we can say. Hope Sparsh is a big hit..!!

Liverpool won-3 Chelsea
*No knowledge of football means you should not be going further into this blog*
It’s been 4 odd months since my last blog, and I really lost the habit of writing them. Of late I can’t find time for them, can’t find any topics(to be honest), and above all, I got lazy. It’s been a very long time, and now I have the perfect opportunity, and the perfect case. “LIVERPOOL FC”
Yes, Liverpool. First things first, I’ve never been a die hard fan of Liverpool, nor Chelsea, nor any other club. I just watch them play and keep on speculating. As far as my original rules of my favouritism for any club go, I should be a fan of AC Milan now, for Beckham is playing there. I just love that guy. But now, I’m chanting the “you’ll never walk alone” lyrics day and night, and downloading the Liverpool FC greatest games from internet. Why this sudden found interest..? Why Liverpool..? Why now..?
The answer: My “college”. SVNIT, Surat. They screwed up my brain like anything. Here 9/10 football watchers are Man U fans. I asked so many of them, so many times. “Why do u like Manchester United..?” The answers I got: “It’s the greatest club in the world.” “It has the best attack”. “Cristiano Ronaldo”. And the dumbest answer i’ve heard: “because 5% of the people in the world are Man U fans”.
Idiots, they don’t even know why they like that particular club. They just follow it like a herd of goats because everyone says Manchester is a great club. That’s it. And in my college, no one dares to say anything against it. That’s the mad following Man U has here.
Let’s look at the facts now.
All Man U did with their billions of dollars and superstars for the past 3 yrs: 2 EPL titles, I UCL title. Pretty good enough, u might think. The first title, with a margin, nice enough, but the second one huffed and puffed, almost gave it to Chelsea, and the UCL: “Why the hell did JT miss that penalty..? Where would that Portugese piece of shit be, if JT has scored that..? His 42 goals..? To what would his acting and diving skills count to..?". All Manchester does and will continue to, is, to count on their luck. The second richest club in the world with all its hype and fuss surrounding it and with the help of that great manager, is struggling like anything. You may save fortune favours the brave and all, but the fact is that Man U are just a bunch of pushovers. Ok, its getting too anti-Man U, so lemme conclude this: “Manchester is a good club, good to win trophies, nice players, but the way their fans think about themselves as the greatest thing to have ever happened to football is just not okay.” And lastly this season, the signs are ominous for a club in decline, but they are just getting over with it, escaping somehow each time.
Why Liverpool..?
Because they surprise u. Even when they are loosing or winning. They have that belief in them, that they can beat anybody, anywhere, anytime, anyhow. Agreed, their football is not great, they produce scoreless draws at Anfield, they play like school kids once in a while, loose to Middlesbrough when they can beat Real Madrid away, whatever.. All said and done, they are average players, with not so much high class wages, and only one man to look up to. “Steven Gerrard”, the heart and soul of the team. How many times, has this team surprised everyone, when they least expected them to. The Istanbul final, the Olympiakos game at Anfield with Gerrard’s 89th minute thunder volley, the FA cup final with West Ham, the defeat of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the 14th March 2009 1-4 drubbing of Man U, the last gasp winner at Fulham when they hit the goal post 4 times in the first half, etc etc… All these moments just take the life out of you. You can just end a season with these memories, without winning any titles. Who needs the crowns when ur mind is full of joy, who needs the accolades from media, when u know that u given your best shot and u have shown the world what you are capable of.
I never had anything against Man United or never had anything for Liverpool. But my batchmates are hyping this MU club so badly, that I was and am desperate to see it loose. I been following their games closely and yukk, they are just a bunch of bullies. Except for Vidic and Rooney, nobody has their heart in the team.
And the Liverpool 1-3 Chelsea saga. Liverpool marked badly, and they had an off game. The most preposterous part of this was, when the other day, when I was passing thru my Mech Dept, these Man Yoo fans were shouting, “1-3 .. 1-3 ..”. Why were they shouting..? Did Man U defeat Liverpool..? No. Or did Man U win its home game against and so called weak Porto side..? No. then why are they so proud of themselves..? Stupid people really, they got the easiest of draws in UCL, got the home game against a very weak side, still they drew 2-2. Liverpool on the other hand were paired with Chelsea for the fourth time running, potential opponents like Barca or Bayern in the semis, and Chelsea has all the experience on how to play at Anfield, and they showed it. I would say Guus Hiddink defeated us, not Chelsea.
The thing with Liverpool is “You never know”. Miracles will happen with them. You just wait for them to unfold. Only if they had a bank balance as Man U or Chelsea.. Only if..
So if anyone asks why you like a particular team, its because they surprise u and fill your heart with joy, and Liverpool never failed at this. And the latest news is that Liverpool won 4-0 at home against Blackburn, and Manchester United just huffed and puffed for another victory at Sunderland 2-1, with another late goal from that Kiko Kid. Manchester United, all the best guys, The title is yours to loose and ours to win.
And may be the Champions league too.!! 14th April, Stamford Bridge, I long for those Gerrard’s volleys and Torres’ strikes. Not that they are the greatest, but that they are the most amazing, at that point of time. They just lift u up. Chelsea still have a decent chance though, but with Liverpool “YOU NEVER KNOW & YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE” Go Reds, Even if u loose its okay for me. The Champions League title, The EPL just don’t matter, Go, play with your hearts on your sleeve, Show them what you are.
And as the famous Anfield chant goes, “Walk on, Walk on, With hope in your hearts, And you’ll never walk alone, and you’ll never walk alone.”

Missed Calls.
Its over, over at last. The Common Admission Test a.k.a CAT, which made me realize so many things for the past few months, and which altered my mind altogether, is done and dusted. One can only be happy for that, but u know; my experience has been such a roller-coaster ride that I wish I give it one more shot. I was wondering all these days, why people all over the nation are crazy about this particular test, and why the so called experts in all those career-guidance programs on the 24x7 news channels are of the opinion that CAT is the most wholesome test for an individual, or rather any student.
My preparation towards this was pretty ordinary. Mathematics was always a neither tough nor easy part. I could easily clear the cut-off. English was interesting, and DI was tough. Marks in these two sections varied fairly largely in every Mock-Cat. The same story continued till two days before the main one. Hopes for an IIM call were almost zero. Expected some where around 90-93 percentile. Respectable enuf score, I thought. But its not gonna be.
Test centre was some 225 kms away from where I stay, so had to go there a day before. Took a hotel for the night before with some of my friends, and revised what I can. Number systems, Geometry, Paragraph Jumbling.. blah blah blah.. Took some time off before sleeping, with the ICL match on TV. Justin Kemp’s catch was truly awesome.!! Dozed off..
D-Day..!! Started for the examination a good 90 minutes early but, thanks to my autowallah I reached my destination with five minutes to spare.!!! My heart was in my mouth. I reached the centre and the gates are closed..!! Exactly.. at the same time. Hurried to my seat and the question paper was already there on my bench smiling at me. The question paper was sealed in a plastic cover, like a wedding card and believe me, it took a minute for me to break those hackles and to get a glance at the questions.
Now the actual scenario,
• Jhatka-1: All the mock cats I’ve written consisted of equal number of questions, in all sections, eng, di, quant. But now. Surprise, surprise..!! Maths-25, DI-25, English-40.. WOW..!! Excellent..!!
• Jhatka-2: Maths was comparatively easier for me and English was tough, but all my worries are on DI, which was a pain the arse in the mock tests. However, it wasn’t to be.
• Jhatka-3: The section in which I would have answered 4 correctly out of 5 was missing ( It appeared in the last two years) and it was complete grammar. Touch and go. Really.
Started regrouping my self and the 150 minutes I’ve been waiting for, started to tick away.
1030 AM ….. 1130 AM …… 0100 PM..
Its done..!! Maths was fine. DI was on the edge, and English.. I was confident enough.
So..With that confident, but cautious thinking going on in my mind, I refrained my self from discussing the paper with anyone. I simply closed my ears if my fellow people are doing so. “Lemme enjoy this solitude for some time” I said to myself. Back to the hotel room, slept till 6 in the evening, and there came back to my place at about 12 in the night.
The CAT 2008 key has been released by then, and there u go.
SHOW TIME.. Moment of truth..!!
… … … … …………………………. My face was like all the smileys in yahoo messenger and orkut put together in a straight line. Variety of expressions..
Never did I know that.
• I will loose 5 marks on the fact that 7 raised to its fourth power will always end with “01” as its last two digits. I donno why I ended up marking 21.
• I will make the cardinal sin no.1 in geometry by not doubling the amount u get for the triangle to get the answer for a square.
• I will clear DI with ease and to actually have an accuracy of 85% in it.
• The sentence “ You can’t run over him like that” is nonsense in English Grammar.
• A line or a group of soldiers are called a file.
• I will end up marking the wrong answer in OMR sheet, when I actually solved the bloody question, that too .. in English.. that too two times..!!
• I will not be able to guess how a certain paragraph ends, for 3 times. Period.
• A small child having two ice-creams in both his hands and licking each one is an act of Intemperance but not due to its visual appeal.
Never did I know that I will come this close for a call, within a space of 3 questions, but in reality that it’ll be a missed call. People have given me so many missed calls, so many times, but none hurt me so much. I feel like imitating Saif Ali Khan and say “I miss u so much, it HURTS..”. but u know, CAT is a whole lot different than proposing to Kareena. Its tougher, actually. "Wait for an year” it says.. And I will. I will make sure that this time when I dial the number, the call is received.

P S: CAT is not about which questions u answered correctly, but how many questions u left wisely.
