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 )

bORED TO DEATH

This was the title of the chat room that we used to create in our training period when we joined as novices in KKC company.It is said igorance is bliss and it is really true inspite of all the counter-arguments it is true that if you are unknown to certain facets of life you are happier than a great lot of people...
I am bored of all this sham here and there everywhere it is an artificiality engulfing the life ... am bored of this mediocrity that i am getting into day by day since the day the result was declared and i had this bare fact facing me that i have to bear this for one more full complete year before i get yet another chance to fight it out against what seems to be the entire human race ( it appears the whole human race fights for those coveted few seats in the elite institutes called IIMs ) .... am bored of this chat client , this black screen , the online notice board bearing useless forwards put in by similarly bored junta .... the yahoo messngr, those same "8 jobs inside" mails frm jobsahead.com ... those Stephen Coveys and Robin Sharmas telling me that i should be thankful to the entire universe for being conspiring for my victory and my success .... the partial premium , the death claim , the co-owner ... all the errors being thrown on the wrong screens ...
these are not the rantings of an unsucessful being ( or may be they are ) but the true feelings going thru my mind right now !!! let us hope that a better being turns out of this Manthan ( a rigmarole but with positive connotation ).This is going to continue for few more months or weeks before i find out a decent target and an equally enjoyable journey towards that goal.happy reading !!
