First of all don't squish me because of the title! I know you - 'have been' (and in all probability still 'are') reaaally busy.
I hate to bother you, but after coming to the USA my general knowledge is hitting an all time low (Rock Bottom - and i thought i was bad when i was in India!).All I essentially come across is the headlines and some facebook discussions here and there. On that note thanks to fb i'm really up to date with IPL and Dhoni. I haven't seen a newspaper apart from the FSU Newsletter, which is neither interesting nor informative unless you want to run for sorority queen or hold a congressional position. There is also the fact that "I am a CS Major" (the sad truth!) - those 5 words are pretty self-explanatory!
I really miss the conversations we used to have. I could talk about anything and everything with you and it was always a learning experience (be it talking about Obama, Lalu Prasad Yadav, nanotechnology, cloud computing or Chatpata's pav bhaji!! :-) ) So much has happened Osama died, Hosni Mubarak was overthrown, Microsoft bought skype (sad day for the world, i must say!), Assembly elections in India...
I urge you to take time off and post in this blog... i want my walking newspaper, encyclopedia, dictionary put together back! :-)
Dear Mrudula,
ReplyDeleteAccessed internet after full 2 months!!! Will get back to Kanpur by July 21 and will start writing.

Till my next post:
Keep writing...keep blogging
Great...can hardly wait!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAtul, recently i've been bombarded with various questions about GRE, TOEFL and MS in the US by our juniors and some others as well. I intend to devote some space in the blog to post few threads on the same and encourage discussions here...serves the dual purpose of participation and prevention of email inbox clogging :P
I have people asking me a lot of doubts on CAT too...but i don't know if you have the time for it though you have the enthusiasm. For now i have other people answering their questions...
What do you say?
