  • The Numbers

    Inspired by Misra’s post here.

    Applications Submitted – 5

    • Denied – None (yet)
    • Interview Invites – 2
    • Interviewed – 2
    • Waiting for updates – 3

    I have one dream school left, but I don’t know if I will apply. And anyway, with the current loan scene, I don’t know if I will be able to afford a US School. But damn! I am so glad I at least got an interview invite 🙂 Huge thanks to all those who have helped.

    Update: For the people interested in my apping status, I have made this post a sticky post and will continue to update this till the apping process gets over.

  • You may think I am callous…

    … but I am left wondering why is everyone so obsessed with the Mumbai aspect of the recent terrorist attacks!!

    Facebook is full of people whose status messages about “my city is under attack”. However, and maybe it is just me, not many had “my country is under attack”.

    And even though I don’t agree with Achutanandan’s response to a martyr’s father, why does this man feel that his son only belongs to Kerela?

    PS: This is not to hurt anyone’s feelings. Just a general wonderment. I have great respect for the amazing people who laid down their lives for us, and I am sad for the people who lost their lives, and their loved ones.
