Irfan,
When one feels that he knows too much, thats when the career graph starts to decline. Moreover as a consulting pro I need to constantly update myself with certifications to enhance my credibility and satisfy my clients. Anyway getting back to your question on CA let me know what kind of help you want as in Time, books, subjects I can throw some light. As far as time is concerned its quality and not quantity. Also let me know your strenghts and weakeness and my suggestions can become more productive. Enjoy reading
