Well, I joined T.I.M.E almost a month back. Quant has been an undisputed leader among the topics that have been covered, but verbal is slowly picking up. Meanwhile, I have made some friends among the lot. Before I go there, let me take into account the demographics of the class. Most of the students here, are in the first year of their job or in the last year of their college. I, being the eldest and with more than two years of experience, belong to a different clan altogether. Many of them haven't written the exam before, and hence are facing the questions for the first time. Despite all this, my quantitative skills have helped me create an influence and presence in the classroom. Also, the revelation of me being an IITian has furthered the cause. In the midst of this influence, I have been able to make some new friends, if I may call them so. The difference here, unlike the other recent friend groups where the motive was competitive, is that the gains are mutual, and the whole group can act as a potential support and reconciliation group. Earlier, when I prepared alone, various thoughts and doubts crept up in my mind but they went answered or were lost among the daily chores of job life. But now, I can connect with similar minded or rather similar focused people who would help me get over those doubts or questions. Also, my long lost weapon i.e. intimidation by knowledge or power of mathematics is slowly gaining raw material. Although, the road ahead is steep and full of multi-dimensional challenges, this new stream has added some dynamic to my otherwise dull and insular life.
Before I forget to mention the names of some of them, here is the small list - Shobhit, Apratim, Vishak and one guy whose name I will ask tomorrow :)
Let's see how this phase unfolds.
