Characteristics of a cata-blog

i started hitting upon blogs with the CAT prep only ... all the blogs that i used to visit had somethings in common .. almost each one of the blog had a movie/book review , few rantings about life in general , the life in IIM or some other B school, the worse than hell work schedule , less than 4 hours average weekly sleep, excessively pompous use of language, written by a software engineer cribbing about his job and gradually turning into a big cataholic finally the results are out and the protagonist goes to a B school, he is amazed with the heady mix of kaliedoscopic kinds of people he meets , the demi god profs and some of their fundas are lucidly explained for the lesser beings, gruelling studies for a two year period ,the summers where our fellow is pushed into a bustling indian city where he learns some fundas about real corporate experience and back to hell for another year , then the much awaited placement time comes and our fellow is recruited on day one or two and bang he enters into some hip hop company and mostly the story ends here.The journey was interspersed with excessively brilliant pieces of literature garnished with excellent comic lines by our hero about his childhood / boyhood / visit to his granny / stifling journey by bus/train or picking up some social issues etc.cata-blog is a phenomena happening all accross the country .
I wish to continue shouting it out to the wall .. ( not advertising my blog to anyone until it gathers a critical mass )
