Cloud Nine

Most of you know that I have been trying for doctrol studies for quite some time now. Without any journal publication and with not so great GRE score it was tough applying to various universities. The disheartnening regret letters filled my room. I spent around 60,000 INR applying to Universities abroad as well as in India (The application fee is quite expensive in most universities)

Finally, there is a good news. I am offered admission for Ph.D. in the School of Computer Engineering at NTU, Singapore with full scholarship! I have not received the offer letter yet, the information has been obtained from NTU website. The most interesting thing is that I have not spent any money while applying to NTU. :)

If everything goes fine I should be in Singapore by August 2010. :)

The wrong turn.

I am typing this with bandages all over my hand and a stitch in my forehead :).

Met with an accident in my Calicut-Thrissur ride, yesterday. The blog (?) would have been something else if not for the helmet (which is now a broken helmet).

And about the heading: I took a different route this time. From Valanchery I took a bypass road to Kuttipuram and that is where I fell down. Oh yes, no vehicle came and hit me, I just fell down myself. A turning which appeared all of a sudden, gravelled road and sudden application of the break made the process smooth and clean. :)..

Anyways, I am still alive to bore you all… :)

Coffee with Vivek - 4

This is different from the earlier versions of ‘Coffee with Vivek’, where I bug my close friends and make them say stupid things and publish it here for the sake of increasing my blog entries. In the previous entries there weren’t any anonymity and the people whom I was referring to were they themselves. This time it is different and I choose not to disclose whom I am talking with. So for the sake of anonymity let us call her ‘Serena Williams’. Now, this person, in spite of being an intelligent girl she is one of the nuttiest of persons I ever met. To say more about this person, she is athletic and plays tennis :P. Anyways, some days back I was browsing with my gtalk on and then..

SW: Avivekam, are you there? (Some people call me ‘a  vivek’ :P)

Me: Yes

SW: avivekame, there is a personal sorrow I want to share with u. Are you ready?

me: ok!

SW: Most men whom i meet always think bad things abt me.

Me: Maybe you are bad.. Hehe..

SW: No, not like that. We start of as friends and then their attitude changes

me: oh ok. “THAT” bad.

SW: Is it the same with all men or is it specific to some women only?

me: Hmmm, it is quite funny.. I am also a man whom you know so isn’t that weird to ask me that question?

SW: You must say whatever you truly feel like. I need to know the truth!

me: Oh..  The question is not that clear. Can you rephrase the question?

SW: Do all you men think the same when it comes to women?

me: Ooph.. That is a tough question to answer. But I should say ‘yes’. When the girl is a stranger, she is a THING for most men. A THING of beauty is a joy forever. You don’t ogle or flirt with your friends or sisters but you do it always with strangers. I mean, most men.

SW: LIAR!

me: Oh! You caught me in the friends part! :P

SW: So when people touch me, they are doing it because i am a thing.

me: Well, I don’t know exactly. But the way you are expressing, I think YES.

SW: Did I ever mention you that you remind me of my cousin’s kid back home.

Me: No!!

SW: One more question. What if I was just a stranger and you saw me on the street? What would go through your mind?

Me: What the heck?? I wont see you even with a hubble attached to my eye. There are zillion others.

SW: Avivekam, I need the truth.

(Has she gone mad?? Or have I ever ogled at her?.. No way!!)

Me: It is the Truth. I wont even notice you. My ogling sense is so high. I ogle only the prettiest of girls.

SW: So, I am not pretty?

Me: They say “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. And you are not to my pair of eyes. I think this is going a little wild. I am getting embarrassed.

SW: You are such a nice kid.

me: I know that I am a nice person and I am not a KID. I hate people calling/considering me as a kid. I am a 24 yr old boy. Anyways, I got to go. Bye Bye.
