The American Dream !!!

2007-07-08T02:58:00.000+05:30

Howdy,

Life in America. When we are in India we have a whole different opinion about the US. Needless to mention the picture is totally different out here. For example a long lost friend suddenly finds out that you are in "The States". You get a message from him.

"Hey dude...heard u in US now....Must b having fun. How r the girls? Did your accent change?
When are you coming back? ...." and it goes on and on.

Life in US is Good....Bad....and sometimes Ugly. Good in way that you live your own life. You get the feeling of "responsibility". You have Roadtrips ;) which are fun. (I Love driving). You have Air Conditioning everywhere you go.(Not bragging about US.) Education system is a lot better (Grad School). You interact people of all kinds, people from various countries. I feel this is the Best Part. Personally I hardly get to interact with Americans. Especially in Grad school you will have a very less % of Americans.

Coming to the Bad part. People forget that here you have to cook your own food, wash your own dishes, vacuum your apartment(which I never do), wash your own clothes, do groceries etc. Now how in the world do people manage to do so I never understood. You miss Good Home Made Food. Yes, you have Indian Restaurants, but you dont want to spend much money there. You miss family.

Sometimes it even gets Ugly ! Worst thing about US is the Medical Cost. Say you have some medical problem. Unlike at home there is no one to take care of you here. Other than the problems you can think of, one biggest problem is, cost of medication. Yes you have insurance which covers most of the Bills. But insurance does not cover everything. You do some medical tests and later you find out that you get a bill of an obscene amount of say 5000$. Even if insurance covers 80%, you would still have to shell out 1000$ !

Everyone in US is busy. If you are not busy in the US then I dont know what to tell you. Long story short, you are here for a reason, which is very significant compared to the small problems you face here. This thought helps you move forward. There are times when you feel sick of your life, but there are also times when you have so much fun in a day that you could have spread it over a month. Doing research is a very boring job, if you dont know what you are doing. Sometimes...when you really understand it, it gets exciting for a very short period of time.

I am running out of time now. Summer Semester going on. Most of my time goes into Research work. Life is very routine and boring , especially in Summer .

Long Time No C ~!!!

Howdy,

I suddenly remember that there existed something known as a BLOG, and that I too have one. So here I am back in action( this time not by popular demand though). I am not that good at writing, so do not expect to be "moved" by my blog. It will just give you one thing.... BULL SHIT. As I always believed....Dont give them Shit...Give them BULL SHIT.

Life has taken a Roller coster ride since the last time I blogged. Then I dint know what was gonna happen....where i wud land up...what wud I be doing. Now the questions are answred. Just to give you a recap of the events that HIT my life.

"Happiness"....That is all I wanted. "Happiness" ...That is all I have got.

CAT,XAT,FMS,IIFT and whatever other MBA Exams, all given.
2 Calls: SCHHRD, NITIE.
The Rest is History and Geography.

Infosys: "Not another IT Coolie." was my answer.

So I land in The AggieLand. Yes, This is what Texas A&M University@College Station is called and we are called "The Aggies". Passionate about FootBall....not Soccer....but American FootBall. Had been to one of the Games against Missouri and had loads of fun. One thing you will notice here is almost everyone wears only one colour....Maroon. Thats Fashion for AggieLand. The place is like a Village in USA. Nothing to do here....except playing Cricket during the weekends. The Campus is Huge. We have awesome Recreation Centre(which I hardly use). The Most Beautiful building here is Jack E Brown Building of Chemical Engg. I am Proud of it. :D

Coming to studies....I finally end up into Comical Engg...errr Kam-Akal Engg....eerrr Chemical Engg. In a few years I will become on Poor Humble Doctor (PhD in case u dint know...now dont raise your euebrows). First Semester has ended (Got decent Grades) and the second one has started. I am a Research Assistant....and Research is at a Starting Stage. My advisor Dr.Tahir Cagin is from Turkey. Pretty cool person.

So all in all...Life is Good and Busy !!!
For now....C U Later....Allegator !!!

AU - The End !!!

2006-04-11T14:45:00.000+05:30

Finally the exams are over. The busy-times are now gone. It’s strange about Engineers. Or better I say its one quality we have…well most of us have. Some insane persons do work like a Dog. But others like me somehow manage to get the whole subject just in a matter of some hours. In the middle of the semester you try and open your books, try and read a page and you never understand what the thing is all about. Then you just throw that book in some corner and somehow you assure yourself that there is still lot of time for the exams to come. One final day you are sipping a cup of coffee and you get to hear that exams are round the corner. You almost spill your coffee. 10 days to go. You decide that at least now you are going to wake up and start studying. Now you first of all have to search for a syllabus paper. You try your best everywhere but you never find one. No one has it, and the person who has it never tells you the secret. Then you realise that you dont even have a text book, so you borrow from someone and xeroxofy them. Finally the most important work, that of getting some previous years' koschan papers. Same case here also. No one wants to give. They have for sure but this you only find out just before the exams when you see them in their hands. Somehow you get lucky and have some koschan papers then begin the analysis. You go mad looking at them because you have no idea what it is all about. May be some Greek or Latin it is and you throw it off.

Days go by. One day to go for the exam and now the sweat on your forehead tells the whole story. Tomorrow exam and you don’t even know the syllabus. Now all the things one by one fall into place. Syllabus, question papers and most importantly books and materials. All are with you and now somehow you get yourself to try and struggle hard. It becomes little easier if you have some company. Easier not to study I mean. You start studying; going at a rate that you always feel, is slower than you friend’s. The only thought that is in your mind is that, everyone else is studying except you. As the sun goes down the intensity increases. Somehow your level of concentration shoots up. Supernatural phenomena that can never be explained I think. In a matter of just some hours you complete studying all the chapters and understand all the concepts and are ready to spit all the crap on the paper next day.

Finally you manage to do a decent job in the exam. Now the headache is transferred to the person who corrects your paper. He is so privileged to see new theories being developed in the very paper he is correcting. I guess he should also be given some pills along with the paper. This is the story that repeats itself every semester for every True Engineering Student. At least this is what has been happening with me every semester.

Now all the exams are over.

Time to party.

Good NiTie

2006-03-11T20:08:00.000+05:30

I had NITIE GD/PI on 9^th.

1^st of all I should congratulate NITIE for good hostel facilities. Had a pretty good time.

The only thing I was lacking was luck. My group was the 2^nd last for the day. Reported in the auditorium at 8 am in the morning. There was some presentation about NITIE. Then the groups were sent for GD/PI one by one. My turn came at around 6:30 in the evening. GD topic was “Is ‘Automation’ desirable in a labor intense Industry”. GD was pretty cool. Everyone chipped in with good points. Then there was another long wait for the interview.

Panel: 2gentlemen and 2 gentlewoman .

S=Sir

M=Mam

I=Moi.

And here it goes,

S: So Sandeep, I give u 3 minutes. Tell me something bout urself.

I: Muhhaaahhaa…..Blah Blah Blah.

S: hmmm….Sandeep…I see ur %ages here….85…..95…85….so u seem to be very good in studies. We hava course ISEM. U being a chemical engineer it will suit u also since it is on environment and all. Why don’t u go for that.

I: Sir, I am interested in the IM course and I want to do that…blah blah…

S: Suppose we have no seats of that course and we giv u choice of taking up the ISEM course what wud u say?

I: Sir, I am interested in the IM course and I am not interested in the envi one bcoz ….

M1: No no Sandeep, what he is asking is if given a choice will u take that or not.

I: No mam, I wont.

S1: (I think here he decides to fire me now) what is this DRDO (or something like that I guess)….do u know.

I: sorry sir, I do not know.

S1: There was a course on instrumentation, what did u study in that.

I: (where the hell did he get this from I hardly remember) Still Told them…

S1: Ok … so how do u control the temperature of a boiler?
I: Explained but he wasn’t satisfied I guess….

S1:yes yes but how exactly do u do it…?

I: Explained him more ….

S1:Sandeep there was news 2 days back. It seems some person was carrying some 2 bottles of chemicals in the flight and there was a chaos bcoz of that. Can u tell me bout it?

I: sorry sir I haven’t followed that news.

M1: Hehehe so u do not follow newspaper is it?

I: I do mam, but I haven’t seen this news.

S1: ok. It was some chemical it seems. And if u open that bottle some gas comes out it seems. So can u tell what that is?

I: (I had no idea how I cud tell) No sir I do not know.

S1: Take a guess….

I: ( I donno y but I thot he mite lead me to Bhopal gas tragedy so tried my luck) Methyl Isocyanite ….

M1: ( starts laughing and rest join her….) Everyone will die if its MIC.

I: Yes mam they will ( but they don’t seem to listen). Oh u mean the bottle opened and nothing happened to anyone.

M1: Yeah nothing happened to anyone.

I: ( Then y dint he ask clearly that it happened this way…) ok mam.The I don’t know what that is.

M1: So u had done a project in Coromandel fertilizers?

I: ( Why the hell did I write about it just to fill some place!!! ) No mam, it was a five day visit.

M1: Oh so u dint do any project as such. ok so tell me….( and she grilled me for sometime on that)

I: (poor me…tried to do my best).

S1: Sandeep why don’t u go for job for a year or 2 and then do an MBA? That wud be better na…u will have some experience.

I: Sir as u know NITIE has a summer intern of 2 months and in addition to that it has a 4 months proj in industry in final year. This will give me hands on exp of the industry and will be a perfect launch pad for me. Also NITIE being in Mumbai also has a lot of interaction with various persons of industry so that will also help me gain a lot of practical knowledge…etc.

S1: Who told u all that……?

I: (WHAT?) Sir, I have read it in the brochure and also in the presentation this morning.

S1: Hmmm….ok. So tell me what is this CH, CH2 and all these things.

I: Sir these are hydrocarbons. Hydrogen and carbon are bonded …blah blah

S1: Ok. So how many H can C take?

I: Sir, C has 4 electrons in its outermost orbit and hence it can combine with 4 H atoms.

S1: OK. Thank You Sandeep.

I: (why this abrupt end?) Thank You mam, sirs.

Mmmuhaaahhhahaha…..Why does this happen to me? 20 mins tech..

TATA DADA !!!

2006-02-23T20:29:00.000+05:30

So what did you think of the Title of this post?
Yes, these kind of words would be uttered by small babies.
But the whole of India (yes u can say world actually…) is chanting these words now. Now u see what I am talking about? The “Dada” himself. Saurav Ganguly.This has become a topic of discussion in our day to day life. You have “Dada Fans” but the opponents out number them way to easily.

I have one point to make. I HATE Saurav Ganguly. Wait...dont start hating me now.If u do i dont care also right...so listen to what i hafta say.
Noone would have had any problem with Saurav Ganguly ever if it was just the case of not being in form....even if its pretty long time!!! The problem was his Attitude.Yes u heard that right.I know people like Dada for his Attitude...remember Flintoff's case. Ahhh..."we love this Naya Kaptaan" we said. We just loved that dint we? But i am not talking about that "Captaincy" wala stuff. Forget for a while bout captaincy.Even if that was the question I would still say Dravid.But coming back to the point. I am talking about the "fact" which is that Saurav Ganguly always thought that he was a "Prince", who doesnt need to work hard.He always thought that his place in the Team cannot be questioned by anyone.In fact he never ever "thought" about this. He thought He was God. He never focussed on the fitness part of himself. Neither did he think that he had a resposibility called "Batting" other than being a Captain. If Sachin or for that matter anyone would have been in a pathetic form..he would hav had support. Because a plyer like Sachin is respected because the way he is. Ganguly is not prepared to work hard. Its again his attitude towards the Game. Whenever he wishes he doesnt play(pitch wala matter). He just doesn what "HE" wants. That is the thing that was not liked by anyone including myself. I am Glad that Greg Chappel is present to help out the Indian Team. Common sense is the only thing that is required to be applied. He just does that. He keeps things simple.
"choose the Team, and then the Captain.".
That makes sense. The Basic things always do make sense.Its only that we never care to think about the basics. This is where the combination of "Dravid and Chappel" becomes Strong. Both are almost made of same principles. Both give immense importance to "discipline" ,"following the basics" and "hardwork. Which always lacks in indian time. This has no place for "chalta hai" kind of people, yeah Dada. Also the young talend has come out all guns blazing.That has further diminished the chances of Sourav coming back.

Whatever happens. Whether sourav comes back strongly or otherwise i think the only thing every indian would desire is that Indians do well. We would be happy to see the killer instinct in our Team and the "never say die" attitude.
Remember the importance of "ATTITUDE"..no? Then try this....

Taking A=1,B=2,....Z=26. Add up all the letters of "ATTITUDE".
So u see what i meant?

Life is a Game.

2006-02-19T13:49:00.000+05:30

"Where will I be after six months?"

This is a thought that has been scaring the hell out of me day in and day out. Life is a Game and you have to play it well. There are days when you make centuries and there are also days when you are out for a Duck. For me the latter always seems to be the case. After the CAT debacle the other exams also have not been any different. XAT was a Bouncer.The pitch for FMS was like those in Pakistan....lots of runs up for grabs but only the ones with strikerates like Dhoni and Afridi can benefit.In short...my hopes of joining a good BSchool this year is fading away. Unlike the Indian team and more like "Dada" I havent been in good form". There was only a "cameo" in GRE which wasnt bad actually.But still there is "No Reply" from any of the US Universities. I was lucky enough to wake up from sleep and attend the Infosys ka thing. Kuch bhi nahi hua to Infy haina. I just hope I land up in a place where I am Happy. That is all I want...."Happiness".

Hello People,

Happy New Year to all you people. Hope all had a Rocking time partying. Well…this is the time when everyone keeps bugging everyone about the so-called “New Year Resolution”. Now do you need a New Year to make a Resolution? First of all what is a Resolution…. a sort of promise made to oneself, that too for a good reason. So to take a good decision do you have to wait for a new year to start? I do not understand this funda. If I want to do something good then I will to take that decision to do it as soon as possible rather than waiting for Dec 31^st night and blah blahing about it.

But, some things don’t change. So at least what people can do is in addition to the “New Year Resolution” also make it a point make a resolution it as and when required to stop all the bad and lazy habits.

Btw…Whats ur New year Resolution ehh?

Cheers.

Hello....

Long time no blog!!! My fans have been deprived of their favorite Bullz, so I am Back again by Public demand. It has been a tipsy-turvy journey from then on. Lots of things to talk about. The most important of them being …yeah…u guessed it right CAT-2005. It came and it went…. do not know how but I successfully managed to screw it up badly. The basic funda was that I took lot of risks and it backfired. Will not bore u much bout that though.

I have always been a confused person when it came to US and stuffs. Study Chemical Engg again? Do not want to repeat the mistake….that is what I thot. Initially I was totally against it and MBA was my only Goal. But after the Disaster of November 20^th I somehow managed to convince myself that USA is the solution and MBA can be done anytime. So I decided not to worry bout money and to apply for a few Universities. That was a long process…applying to Universities that is. Huh….selecting one university itself is tricky. You do all research about the university and at last you are told that someone in your class has already applied to that one and you have to be a guddie guddie person and have to back away. I have never understood this funda and never will. After you finally manage to select some universities the most hectic work is to get Recos from Profs. You have to be after them 24*7 if u want ur work done besides listening to their bulls. At one stage u realize “ I have a Goal in life; Complete the Application Process !!! ” Yes that is exactly how you feel. I also gave a thot about quitting the whole thing at one point of time. It gets the hell out of you. Finally I somehow managed to finish that with the help of a consultancy and what better time than December 26, my birthday(if u do not know that is). The most boring day of the year only until the evening. From then on it ROCKS.

All this while I was again successful in spoiling first IIFT and then JMET. Kinda light teeskunna…. The only so-called positive was that SNAP was cool. But again it was easy and others would also do equally well. So u never know. Also one day I went for the campus interview of Infosys by mistake and again by mistake I got selected. It is always a Happy feeling to get hold of a Job. And I strongly feel that I will finally end up in Infosys only. Jan 1^st week is going to be tough. CAT and SNAP results r going to be out. To add to that XAT and FMS to follow and then the mid-exams. Phew….. lots of things comin up.

First I thot the Final Semester is hectic. But now I think its pretty cool. The only funda I am going to follow is Njoy. Never again will you have an opportunity to be a part of an institution like A.U. Yes, the Ultimate place to be in. The coolest place on earth. Donno where I would be a year from now. Nobody knows. This thought scares the hell out of me. Dekhte hain kya hota hai…..

Till the next time,

Ciao.

See u later

hello again...
i am back wid my TOEFL Xperience...
not much to say actualy...so this gonna be short and hopefully sweet.
i tuk GRe...happy with finishin it rather than Njoyin da score i walked along the streets of hydbad....alone. Not to mention My Cell....i got one call after another...friends callin up....and i received the so-called "congrats". The calls stopped......what to do now...where do i go....i walked and walked until i found a jn...
there i stood for sometime not knowin what to do..where to go...whom to meet.....
Finally i tuk an auto n asked him to take me to LIFESTYLE... and on the way i bugged him so much bout places to see in hyd. He told me bout paradise smthin....he said one can find lots of computer stuff there. i dint understand anythin of what he said but decided to go there ( i dint like LIFESTYLE.....got out soon ).
Deciding not to waste anymore money on auto , i tuk a bus to the so-called ' paradise '. Found nothin there.so had a drink....bot a small bag...and a cap ( i have absolutely no idea as to y i bot it ).
Luckily my cousin's office was right beside where i was standin... so he tuk 5 mins off 4 me.Then i had lunch in a gudlukin restrnt.....and then back to my room..in a bus obviously.Then i tuk another bus to station....then the train back to vizag.
Reached in da mornin and wen2 college.....after a long break.
I spent 5 days just feelin gud bout finishin GRE...not realisin that i hav TOEFL ahead...just like another bus stop i hav to cross.I finally thot of doin somethin....i had TOEFL Barrons (which i flicked it from my cousin)....so did some stuff from that.Also i tuk a kaplan test...half actually...skipped RCs and Writing.Thats all....here ends my TOEFL Preparation.To add to that i wasnt even sure of the format.....
i wen2 hyd.There was a bus strike so my cousin came to pick me up.I wanted to goto a temple in chilkur...so i pulled him along wid me.From there we wen2 imax...timepassofied there 4 sometime then back to room. Gosh....that guy made me walk sooooooo much !!! Huh....
As soon as i reached our room.....as if somethin like a thunder or lightnin struck me.... a thought ...a doubt actually started bugging me!!! " what is the pattern of TOEFL ? " This is the question i was askin myself repeatedly....coz suddenly i was not sure of the number of questions and the time in each of the four sections. Luckily i had the TOEFL CD with me which the ETS people had sent me ( u get it if u buk ur Date ).I rushed to an internet centr where they had thhose headphones and cdroms.
Put that thing in and i thot of testin my luck wid da questions.
Listenin was ok....found a little different...coz at home u r used to the speakers...so u hav to concentrate just a little bit more. A thing that i learnt was that i was gettin irritated easily wid da headphones.....and this diverted my concentration away from da questions.Some n dint even listen. Got a tip...."dont get irritated and fULLy Concentrate". Then came the structure...a cake walk.
Thats it....m skippin da RCs and the writin...to hell with them man.
Satisfied with the preparation....sorry .... the so-called preparation of mine.....i had a sound sleep.

The Exam Day :

This is going to be small....hehehe. I reached the place at 7:30.The exam was at 9. They let us in at 8...again fillin da forms n stuffs. This time it was on the 2nd floor( if ur number is 8928. its 1st floor if ur number is 8908 ). U hav laptops here ( comps on 1st floor ).....i had a hard time typin yaar.
Listenin was kool...except for 1 question which i dont know as to "y: i dint listen !!! Then as usual structure was a cake walk i thot. Rcs were pretty easy i " thot "...coz even after finishin them n revisin thrice ( u r allowed to go back ) ...i had 10 mins to spare.
Then came the writin part which i hav absolutely no idea as to how i did. I really found it very awkward typin there as i wasnt used to a laptop. My topic was.....
" What are the qualities a good parent should have?"
This is easy man......thats wat i thot at the beginning.What happened later was smthin else.One more thing was i just started and i saw 5 mins gone....dint know how !!! The " TIME " factor came into play....for a second my hands started to shake as i saw very little time left. Then i kept my kool.....tuk a deeeep breath and typed as fast as i cud n finished with seconds to spare.
Then was the time to check da score....

Listening--------------------27
Structure/Writing----------12 to 29
Reading---------------------25

Total---------------------------213 to 270.

Well.....what can i say....Scores were not Gr8.
Still I walked out of there with a feelin of relief............i have finished it dude !!!

Again Ram Kahaani repeated....walk on the streets of hydbad.....no where to go....nothin 2 do.
I just met a friend of mine ( workin in Satyam)....and went back to the room m and the to station. How Lucky i was.....what do i see........ a friend of mine was sittin right beside me (train me yaar). Had a gud time on my way back.
Fir wahi same borin life in vizag.....

but now that i have done away wid both TOEFL N GRE i hope that i concentrate on CAT.

Lets see how that goes.....

till the neXt tIME.......

..............ciao

GRE8

2005-07-04T15:32:00.000+05:30

Hi......
I would like to share my recent experience with the so called GRE exam. First of all.......i m not interested much in GRE.....i took the exam only to have a choice in case m in a bad situation. CAT....thats my Goal.......and i can do anythin to get into IIM's.....
Okey.....so i started GRE preparation in T.I.M.E. institute last november.I wanted to take the exam in december itself...but......i kept on postponing it until recently. The DATE was JUNE 30th.A month before this date...i finally touched BARRONs wordlist.......i started twenty times....but dint study anything.I finally decided not to waste time and be cool.........as i dint care bout GRE.
On 11th of June my friend Harsha came to my place....i told him that i was not preparin at all.He just gave me a small dose and then i thot ....ok man....just study for some days.......Big Deal.
On 12th i started the WL......to my amazement i did 10 of them that day.Then comes 13th.......i thot i shud carry on the same spirit.....i completed another 15 of them.Huh....i was feelin Gr8.That was it.The feelin that i had was so good that i dint know how the next 10 days passed...and i did only 10 more in those 10 days.The so called "Campus Interviews" that we were supposed to have played a large part in this time waste period of mine.As u wud guess......we dint have any company comin to us.
Now my main objective was to complete the WL..which i eventually completed the next day.Now this was also the time when my friend gave me " The Big Book ".......which i had asked her 20 days back.There were 54 tests in that book.....i decided to skip the RCs and do the rest.....as many as possible.Along with these i also took some CBTs and performed OK in them.Even though i was not gettin gr8 scores i was improvin and learnin more n more.
One thing that helped me unknowingly was...."I was COOOL".I was not at all worried bout the exam....no fear nothing.And believe me Thats the key.
Now comes The Exam Day.(It was in Hyd).I reached the centre at 7:30. Some of the students were readin. I had revised 40 WLs and revised the rest now.The time was 8.We were now allowed inside.......to complete all the formalities.There were only two pretty gals there.I could see tension on most of the faces.I just wanted to get done with this GRE thing......thats all i wanted.After all the fillin the form stuffs were over......the man there took me to a hall that had around 20 systems.He pointed towards mine.The exam started.....
First was some bull shit fillin stuff again......which i started fillin n was confused so called the lady......she asked me to skip all that.The first thing was "Issue".....topic....somethin bout givin specific education to suit the needs and interest of each student.......i happily completed this with lot of time to spare.Next was an arguement bout some skateboardin stuff which was also pretty easy.
Now came the real test....i dint even know what i wanted 1st....quant or verbal. It was Verbal.....gud enof 4 me. The very 1st question was antonym of " Radiant"......yippi...thats easy. Next i got some analogies which were decent....and i maintained i decent pace..not in a hurry.I then got a 25 lined RC havin 2 questions. This was pretty easy.Around 16th question i got a 75 line RC.....4 qs.......and guess what.....a piece of cake......yeah..it was on global warmin....CO2 stuff. i ran through the RC and answered the questions ( but i have my doubts........i felt that 3 of the 4 questions were THE SAME....!!!! ) Then i got two easy qs...cogent...luxuriant(antonyms).Another small RC followed which was also ok. Finally i finished verbal.....within the time.And i had absolutely no idea how i had done.
Then comes quant.For this i had not prepared separately as i thot my CAT preparation wud be enof. I had just revised some Statistics ka formulae......which eventually helped me a lot. All the questions were easy....Except 2 of them. One was as expected statistics...spent 8 mins on that...the i decided.......an educated guess and move on. The other one was DI......i had no idea what the question was.......i read it for 10 mins....then for the 1st time i was havin less time( i usually finish the quant section with minimum of 25 mins to spare). Finally i got an answer which was 1/4th of one of the options......and other options were not even close!!! so i ticked and carried on......finishing quant with exactly 5 seconds to spare.......phew......what a relief.
I had no idea how had dome in quant and verbal.I got an research section which i quit.Now even b4 i cud think how i had done i got da scores...................................

Verbal 600
Quant 800

yahoooooooo......quant 800..wow.
The score i thot was gud enof.
The rest of the day i roamed alone in HYd and then returned to Vizag.

So this was my experience of the so called GRE exam.....

Now i have another hurdle.......TOEFL.....on 7th. Lets see how i do in that........

Till then................................ Chao.
cu later.......allegator!!!!!!!!!
