Is your path clear !
Ha Ha! you may think it will be a motivational sermon as the blog title indicate, but it’s not !
Since I bought my Pulser on 22nd nov 2006, I have roamed whooping 30000 kilometer only in Hyderabad in just 3 years. Yes, though I am not ‘Roddie’ I love riding on my bike. So in last 3 years, I have encroached into every corner of so callled new Secunderabad and old Hyderabad.
This year, my bike’s third anniversary and IIFT exam was on same day. The venue of examination was same as last year and the path to reach there was lucidly clear on my mind. I started at 8:30 AM in the morning for about 8 kilometer ride from my home to the venue. I faced first roadblock on my way when I saw traffic police had closed one of the road to reach there. I immediately took alternate path and after travelling a kilometer saw another main road being closed by traffic police. On inquiring the reason, they pointed towards a billboard which said - ‘Run Hyderabad on 22nd November’ .
I went numb. It was Hyderabad Marathon and the only road to reach to venue (from my place) was completely closed. With frustration I asked traffic police to guide me to reach Hanuman Vyamsala school (my venue). He guided me with many left - right direction and I couldn’t understand any ! Luckily, one uncle in scooter heard me and offered help. He was going on same direction and asked me to follow. While following him, I traveled many new alleys and mud road which I never crossed in last 3 years. Amidst the mounting tension of exam these dazzling path caused my heart beats beating at higher rate.
That uncle left me somewhere close to the venue and directed me with few left-rights to reach the venue. With the help of many pan-walas and auto-walas I reached the venue exactly on time. You can guess, I was almost exhausted but relieved on reaching venue.
CAT is starting from tomorrow. Make sure your path is clear even though you have traveled on that path many times.
Best wishes to all

Amit
I think you are from hyderabad and we talked once. Though we couldn’t be in touch.
I missed IIFT by whisker. Did good in all the sections but flunked in quant. And I must add that all that tortuous path I took to reach venue had no effect on my exam performance.
@Dagny - Things keep happening with me. I am used to these now. I will put few in my future blogs.

It happens..that the things fall apart and you start believing the day is not yours. But a good player will always wait for the end and scorn off the disarrays at the sunset.
I have so many of such instances that now I am used to twists and turns
All the Best for the CAT.
Cya!

@Shikha - I am damn sure now that ‘Raj-The milkman’ has lots of influence on you
@Amit - Thanks and same to you boss. Hope to c ya some time once this exams festival is over
@Garima - The time you mentioned you stayed in Sindi Colony I had understood that you r in Satyam. We are working under same CEO
Twist and turn do happen. Instead of taking it as a bad day, I extract out positivity in that - Even though there were so many hurdles I reached on time. So that means I would face trouble initially but will get what I want, Only if I keep trying
All the best. Time has come to tame CAT with mouse

Do u know vivek, i kinda keeping away from orkut since many days now, n blogs r the last things i would go for even if i m online, after reading ur scrap i thought to at least check it once. u wont believe though at perticular this time i really have a lot to do, i just couldn’t stop myself reading n going through all ur blogs, be it ur closed roads, ur theory of being happy and sad, ur toilet blooper and especially ur banker girl, Good Loard, for an instant i thought i m reading a movie’s script. u narrate so beautifully yaar. trust me , u should start writing professionaly, i m not joking!! i would be the 1st person buying ur book. give it a thought seriously!!

Hey Doctor
and frankly I was waiting for your comments after I left my blog link in your orkut account. I am not sure where I will end up but I hope, I will keep writing 
I think you believe in me more than I believe in myself
Somehow my plan to visit Delhi never works. I have two strong reason to visit Delhi. One is to meet TG and Dagny, other is to see you

Dude, I always wanted to ask if I could get a test ride of you Pulsar, but couldn’t ask. I can understand you love you bike, like I love mine. And then I’ve met people who think of their bike as ‘gf’. Surely, you don’t lend your gf to a friend for ‘test-ride’, definitely not to a guy like me.
Anyways, next time when I come to you place, let me take you darling(pulsar) for a date. I am sure you maintain her(pulsar) so well, that she’ll have enough punch to surprise me.
Keep writing.

Big thing said in simple words…hmmm lemme relate it to something which i have been mulling over recently - the movie 3 idiots.There was Extra Ordinary Rancho and not so good in acads Farhan , failure fearing Raju. But you know what, it didn’t answer for the 4th Idiot which is ‘an average man’. Lemme define him he thinks and he does fairly well in acads bit doesn’t top,doesn’t come last either. He can play guitar or sing or play or like nething in few words - jack of all trades.They r the most confused species on this earth in my opinion.
And Vivek your blog once again forced me to think about the 4th Idiot….i am in a big quest now
Help Me Almighty ,Help me!!
