Have been studying since a bit less than a month and finding it a cracker of job to manage it along with job (I am a Software Engineer by profession), not exactly in terms of finding time for preparation, but in terms of that sheer zeal to be 'high in spirits'</span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1wftWcLsPEE/Tej9_ypyVEI/AAAAAAAAApM/Hk7jrcx-Q7c/s1600/icon_wink.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1wftWcLsPEE/Tej9_ypyVEI/AAAAAAAAApM/Hk7jrcx-Q7c/s1600/icon_wink.gif" style="cursor: move;" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><br /><br />Have been trying few things for that, some conventional, some completely hilarious! (writing code for half an hour then sneak out half an hour for GMAT questions :D ).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oxwnkHpgv2U/Tej-UHApI5I/AAAAAAAAApQ/EJDXKyD5NCk/s1600/tongue-wink.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oxwnkHpgv2U/Tej-UHApI5I/AAAAAAAAApQ/EJDXKyD5NCk/s1600/tongue-wink.gif" /></a>Well, finally have thought the best way is to open a forum for discussions where i can participate round the clock (M a software guy c'mon ) and discuss with you motivational people as we all should be in the same boat and can help each other.<br /><br />See you soon!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7119968682621334926-3385537319088710439?l=whatismanagement.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Saurabhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04195260817592791735noreply@blogger.com0
