A.P.J Abdul Kalam for Convo

Saw honorary Abdul Kalam, in person, who came in our college during Convocation. Couldn't get into Barn, where convo was actually held, because you needed to be invited by a person who was graduating that day, or you had to be a girl :(

When you dont want to see/meet a person, you always keep bumping into her... ;) Thats life.

"When a person really desires something all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream."

I have accepted the hard facts, and moved on with my life. So now all the romantic, longing songs have been replaced by Lakshya - Title song, and Eminem - I am the way I am.

Had a treat yesterday given by Dongli, Badri and Shishir. Had my first peg (60ml) of Vodka. Had diluted with Pepsi of course. Tasted very bitter, and weird. Decided that wont try it ever again, cos it seems pointless. Retained full control of my mind and body. :P

GRE preparation is decently going on, scoring 800 (Quant) + 550 (Verbal) consistently. Finding it difficult to get above it. Cycle Tests around the corner, but not studying much for them (as if I studied a lot before :P).

I need to get atleast 1400 to aim for any of the top 10 CS universities. Found a nice thought attributed to Einstein:

"Not everything that counts can be counted,
and not everything that can be counted counts."
