A Run

Sometime back, I talked about using remember the milk to effectively manage to-do lists. RTM has recently added a striking feature to it. Now you can view the RTM tasks in your gmail, along side the mailbox, in a separate pane exactly similar to the way labels are placed. It uses a firefox extension that uses greasemonkey scripting. I wonder why Google has not acquired it yet…

Remember the Milk is a personal task manager web application that allows users to manage multiple to-do lists over the web. The application is built upon google gears and this makes it available even when I am not connected to the Internet. I’ve been using this for quite sometime now and the offline functionality works best in Internet explorer than in any other browser. RSS feeds, Google Calendar integration, adding locations via google maps, tasks sharing and reminders in email/sms/IM are among the best features.

Thought I should write a little on my preparation for GMAT.

I am sure no one would ever have had such a strange and sweet experience with the GMAT.

Having just graduated, I aspired to attend a Bschool as quickly as possible and attempted at India's most demanding entrance exam: CAT 2005 was a huge flop. Decided to pursue a comprehensive preparation and gave my best shot, the following year. Had joined the test batch series from T.I.M.E and Career Launcher.

I understood that both GMAT and CAT were similar in terms of preparation, despite dissimilarities in their patterns. This encouraged me to schedule a GMAT appointment for December, immediately after CAT. Believe it or not, it worked extremely well. I gave no additional efforts, except for understanding the structure and basic patterns in the exam. Princeton review for GMAT is the book that I referenced for both GMAT and CAT. No official guide; No JJs; No 1000 SC/RC/CRs!!!

Anyway, managed a score of 730. Final Score: 730/VA: 39/QA: 50/AWA: 4.0

The ideal approach for beginners would be to start with reading experiences of previous GMAT takers posted in pagalguy.com. Not everyone gets to follow the same strategy, I would recommend to adopt one strategy that best fits in your abilities.

Feel free to review The Communique that I collected whilst preparing for the CAT.

Currently, I am in the processes of sending applications to various schools for the fall 2008 cohort.

Wishing good luck for all future aspirants!!!
