GRE

GRE (Graduate Record Examination) must be the funniest and the most flawed examination in the world. I quite don't understand the need to test English to get into good Univs. A basic command is a must, but knowing about all those never-heard words won't work. Moreover, mugging up the 3000 words in Barron's guide is a pain in itself. This is not the way to expand your vocabulary.
Moreover ETS seems to be a corrupt organization conducting GRE and TOEFL. They charge like hell. But I end up finding that their website doesn't work. God only knows what they are doing.
I hope one day will come when GRE is abrogated (eh, this word comes in wordlist 1), or maybe Students start coming to India to study.. :)

Kurukshetra

Check out Kurukshetra
It is an event similar to Kshitij organized by Anna University students. This is the first time they do and the effort they have put in considerable. All the Best guys. Hope the events turn out very successful.

A Long Ride..

It has been a cruel 3 months time since I posted anything. I was busy, but still I could have posted. Many a times, I would have emphemeral passing thoughts of something new to post. But they went unrealised..
Looking back, it has been a long ride in the fifth semester - time when I did a lot of hardwork and also did enjoy a lot. I have learnt a lot in that period and slept a lot less. I have witnessed great things happening and saw some disappointments too. Whatever be it, the ride was joyous.
Expecting the next semester to be on parallel lines..
