my first blog!!

Hi friends,
yes it is true ,
I got a call from IIFT i.e. I got selected for the second round. It means that now I have to go through a grueling session of Gd, Pi and essay writing.
Let's start with essay writing, it is something which I have not been in practice from past 4 or 5 years. Though it consists of only 5% marks but at this stage each and every number matters. As I am not so optimistic about my CAT exam hence at present it seems to be the only opportunity for me to have a good career. Essay writing can be about anything i.e. there are infinite topics to deal with. Efforts to memorize a few essays, as we used to do in our school days will be foolish and impractical. What I need, is to develop my own writing style and to be able to express my ideas in an articulate manner so that I am able to get the best of the 5% marks devoted to this section.

Next comes GD, what I have read on some websites is that GD in IIFT is just an exact replica of a fish market. I have to go through a mentally excruciating ordeal to go through this section. PI is also something in which I have to work a lot.
I know what would be my weakness in this round. My graduation percentage, which are merely 67.8. At the same time I believe that my greatest strength will be my knowledge on myriad of topics in this world and my speaking skill which will help me in crossing the stream and of course my written exams score which accounts for about 55% of the total marks.
As this is my first blog I am still confused about what to write in this blog and what not to? Is a blog is like a personal diary in which one expresses his opinions regarding various events one has dealt within a day. But as a blog is in public view always you can't run the risk of writing your inner most secrets on a public forum.
Is a blog is a mere technological version of essay? Not sure about it?

Well things will become clear in few days when I will be more articulate in expressing the ideas originating in my mind, when I will overcome the hurdles placed in my path by vocabulary boundation and grammatical errors, when I will understand the structure of the blog which comprises its introduction and conclusion.
The journey is long and it is my first time. But so it is of various other candidates who have cleared the written exam. A month of patience, hardwork and perseverance can put me on a pedestal from where the sky is the limit.
Sorry I didn't want to sound so pompous and grandiloquent but I have to develop the art of writing articulately.
Does this blog seem like a personal diary? I am afraid but pardon me as it is my first time. Also pardon me for all the grammatical errors in this blog and if you want to help me in realizing my dream please post your comments and suggestions.
