Now that the most sought after, coveted and nerve wrecking exam is here tomorrow, let us see what the confederates are upto at this critical moment of their lives.

Maddiee is one of the biggest contender of getting into the IIMs or any of the top 20 colleges for sure. Cracking all the Mock Tests by securing sky-high marks, he sits well comfortable on the top with tremendous practice and experience at solving the paper. If the pattern remains the same, I do not see him scoring anything less than 145-150 tomorrow. :P

Abhishek Rao has always been the dark horse. Though he has not practised as much as Maddiee, one could expect him to come from behind and even fly past his figure of marks. On his day, Rao is unbeatable. This he showed by bagging the first placement offer (TCS) which neither of the confederates could do. He has the sheer ability to make the unexpected to be expected. I have my money on him (coz he is my caustic couple :P)

Vaibhav Jain, the VJ. No one knows, not even he himself, why the hell is he appearing for CAT. Even if he secures the highest percentile all over India, he is unable to join any of the colleges because of his stupid commitment to JBS. People are sure he has the capability to crack the paper, and he himself knew this till three days ago. But since he started solving Mock Papers, he is in a shock. He doesn't know anything. He just has one thing with him, i.e., no pressure. Otherwise, no hard work, no motivation, no effort and no luck. 

The other three confederates have nothing to do with CAT. They are comfortably seated at homes. Ghosh and Goli are upto some revenue earnings by developing a webportal. Do visit them at www.techtadka.net. Both have the capability to bell the CAT, but Goli opted for the MS line, and is leaving for Florida next month. Ghosh prefers job experience for atleast 2 years before commiting himself for post graduation.

Finally, the beloved Rebel. You don't expect a Tech Genius to do MBA, do you? His SUN is shining high, and the secret behind is that he makes it shine. (jyada to nahi ho gaya? :P) He is always into the business of some JAVA programming. I wonder if his friends were not giving CAT, he would ever know we have an exam like that. It is because he has to do something great, unique and extra-ordinary, just like our senior Siddharth Batra did (http://rollickingmaniac.blogspot.com/2008/11/siddharth-batras-zunavision.html).

I wish all the confederates the best of luck. Because luck is what counts the most tomorrow. Hope to see Maddiee and Rao in top B-schools, Ghosh in Singapore (he wishes so), Goli in Florida performing well and Rebel - keep the SUN shining brightly. As far as VJ is concerned, uska kuch nahi ho sakta. 

The idea of this rating system crept into our minds when we saw a very very beautiful lass infront of Sanjeev Sharma Sir's cabin. Rao said, "she is the one about whom I was telling about, who wears low waist trousers", and the conversation began which is, ahem, *censored*.

This led us to 'quantifying' her grace and comparing with other gorgeous ones. 'Of course', we resonated, 'the number one spot is fixed'. And then Rao suddenly recounted that he had to meet Mrs. Sangeeta Malik, his mentor. 

So we headed from Maths Department on 1st floor to the CSE department on the opposite side of the 2nd floor, taking the way infront of the Electronics Labs. When we ascended the stairs, Rao noticed Sangeeta Mam leaving and she went, Rao could not talk to her. So we stayed in the middle of the stairs, comforted ourselves there and resumed with our discussion.

For about 10 minutes, we were 'negotiating' with the ratings and then Rao diverted the topic to his project work. Hardly had we carried the discussion further when there was a noise behind me. I turned back and the scene horrified me. Krishna Asawa Mam was staring at us from inside her cabin through the window, probably furious about the noise we were making. But what has disturbed us more is the topic which we were discussing on. RATING OF BEATIES, eh? She would have certainly heard it.

She saw us. She is my panel member [:(] What if she remembers me? Terryfying thought. We were so dumb, we could find that place only? Right behind the ears of the teacher and that too in full volume? As if, each corridor and every place is open for our Caustic discussions in the college. [:(]

We slipped away from there as hurriedly as possible, visibly going numb for the next few seconds. Rao had his hands over his face, and could not get out of this shocking trauma for next 15 minutes. IMAGE?? ho gayi na down...

Anyways, ab to aadat ho gayi hai.. wese bhi we wish Mam enjoyed the ratings. [:P] After all we are Caustic Couples, naam roshan bhi to rakhna hai na...
