1. We will always be skeptical about everything served to us.
A person undergoing the course of CA will always be skeptical about everything thrown upon him. Be it an emotional barrage or a token of appreciation, a professional CA is all about professional skepticism and this holds true for our personal life as well. We tend to SCRUTINISE the motive behind all the emotions kept in front of us, be it good or bad. We are more about behind the curtain dramas than the actual performance itself. Auditing an emotion is something inculcated among us.
2. Bank on us to keep a check on expense.
We CA’s are an expert in finding and excavating a financially feasible alternative to every problem. Be it finding a cheapest place to hang out in or be it finding the best deal online. Bank on us for all the analytical calculations. There are misers and then there is a CA. We know the worth of the money we possess better than anyone else. Bank on us to keep a check on your expenses too.
3. Want know about slogging in life? Ask us.
We CA students are an expert in slogging in our life. We start our day at the morning tuition, followed by our articleship and then we rush to attend our late evening tuition later on until we crawl ourselves to bed. Life has always been a tough affair for us. We slog between our career and our office better than anyone else.
4. Social Life. What is that ?
Due to our diversified course and curriculum, we miss out on our social lives. We juggle so much between our tuition and our office that we miss out on our social gatherings and events. We have excuses always kept handy and up the sleeves to explain our absence. To be honest, we are also tired of answering our relatives on the number of attempts we have made for CA examinations. This is an embarrassing affair for us. KITNA ATTEMPT ?? KITNA ?? JAO NAHI BOLNA…
5. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Our curriculum is so demanding and hectic that we are compelled to appear calm and composed on the outside but we are ready to explode on the inside. Catch up with us on a day before our results and we will appear as if D-DAY is just another day for us, but the fact is, we are boiling from inside and results matter the most to us than anything else. We are accused to be loner at times, but we can’t help it.
6. We are all about priorities.
We CA aspirants are all about priorities. If you are on our priority list, be rest assured that you are lucky enough to have a big piece of our emotions in spite of our never ending hectic schedule. We will always use our wits to escape from our offices and catch up with you. We will always have the energy to be there with you with our cent percent spirits, in spite of our tough day in the office. Sadly, if you aren’t that important, we will always use our work and studies as a weapon of excuses.
7. We are a walking talking calculator.
Goes without saying that we are a walking talking calculators. Go on a group outing with us and we will tell you the exact amount to be dutched before you can probably unlock your phones to use the calculator. In case you have defaulted in your previous outings with us; be sure that we will remember your dues and will carry them to our graves until you clear them off. We are all our equality.
8. Envious for people but a painful affair for us.
The journey of being a Chartered Accouintant is designed in a manner that you need to join a CA firm to undergo your articleship training by the time you are 19-20 years old. Our peer feels envious with the fact that going to an office on a daily basis, meeting our MNC clients and donning a formal attire from a very young age. The real and painful story behind this glittering outfit is confined in our hearts. We drag ourselves to offices and tuition scornfully. We envy our peers from deep down in return. Our life is tougher than it appears to be. Only source of motivation that runs through our vein is SELF-MOTIVATION.
9. One cannot deny the fact that we are a fun to be with.
Inspite of our professional and academic hardships, we are fun to be with. You may find us to be nerdy and geeky from the outside but we are all lively and fun to be with from the inside. Be it partying or living your life to the fullest, we don’t leave any stones unturned here as well. We try to fit an appropriate excuse in appropriate place to escape any kind of confrontations while we escape from our offices to spend time with our friends.
10. The never give up attitude.
We CA aspirants are inculcated with a never give up attitude from the very word go. We do not give up on your career too fast or too soon. In spite of a strict passing percentage in CA examinations, we don’t back down to the challenges put in front of us. We know the taste of failure and we train ourselves to accept whatever life throws on us.
