I picked up the folded paper in which 'Strategy' was mentioned. Strategy, the most important part in the GMAT preparation, is a part of daily life.
My new strategy is:
1. Practice from Manhattan guide to SC. Probably I will buy this guide as it will give me some free online tests. I will practice 10 questions daily from Manhattan Guide. This I will do just before the 40 Questions from OG.
2. Start anaylsis of the questions from OG. As part of the analysis, I will start doing this from tomorrow.
3. Tips and Tricks: Write in all the tips and tricks notebooks for the daily tips and tricks.
4. Eat, Drink, Sleep GMAT.

The path of SC...
I am able to understand the nuances of Sentence correction. I am sure this time I will be making less mistakes in SC section. The Manhattan Guide to Sc is helping me to learn the secret of SC.
I am pretty confident now about SC. This will surely improve my score in VA. I have to keep on practicing sc. Analysis is most important. Also, I will read the OA of the questions attempted and try to understand the answers. I will make notes on the SC.

the second prep test
Yes, I gathered all my will and sat for a prep test this time Manhattan free test. I scored 580. I have to analyze the test.
The individal score id Q- 45, VA - 25.
The last time I got 540, which was zero prep test from MBA.com. From the last one month I was doing some preparation of GMAT. I need to put more effort in my preparation.
Out of 37 Q questions, I got 18 correct (I need to improve in Q too). And out of 41 VA questions, I got 19 correct.
This is a clear indicator that I have to work hard and put more time on analyzing the answers. While giving this exam, I felt short of time in both the sections. I have to devise a strategy for time management too.

Enjoying the process of preparation........
How is this possible. I am more confident about the GMAT preparation now. Since the day I booked date for my GMAT, I see myself enjoying the preparation days. I spent quite a couple of hours with my OG in the last two days. I am enjoying the process. This is a pleasant surprise that I am improving in the Verbal Section. In the course of few days of practising, I found myself comfortable with Sentence Correction section which was my weakness earlier.
I need to improve on my vocabulary. I am concentrating on that too. Sometimes I fall short of words. I got the site http://visualvocabulary.blogspot.com/. I will be adding this site to my blog.
Another way to improve vocabulary is read, read and read. I have to start doing that. I will keep this in my daily schedule. These days I have kept 'Reading Editorial from TOI' as one of the to do task, but havent followed it actually.

booked the GMAT date
Today finally I booked the date for GMAT. I will be giving GMAT on 27th August at 1:00 pm. Now the real fun starts. I will start my serious preparation from today.
My strategy:
1. Spend 3 hours daily and 5 hours on weekend on GMAT. No excuse.
2. If there is nothing to do, solve questions from PG on round robbin basis.
3. Maintain a daily to do on the sticky notes and be enthused about GMAT and ISB.
4. Read editorial from TOI. Read FT articles.
Apply the law of secret. Apply the power of imagination. Feel good.
The countdown starts now.
