Feel free to put up more questions and I will be pleased to answer you or direct you to the right source for it. Q&A before GRE/TOEFL and till before the Admission 0.

During in initial days at UT, I happened to talk to lots of people about the courses I should be taking etc. This post contains some excerpts from that : I also talk about a few questions that have been asked by various new students joining UT, specially in computer engineering.

For my childhood friends If you ask me what friendship day gift I want, I wish for a magic stick that can take me to my past. May be there were homeworks, may be there were tests, but with all of them, there were my friends! Those fun-filled school days, those afternoons of laughter, the evenings in the streets, where are those days? Antaakshri in last period, and radio-show in summers, how can I ever forget those outings together? We all lived in the Malviya Nagar, now I can't even envision, when one of us is in Noida and one in London! On this friendship day, although you are miles away, but I am sure we all have new friends to celebrate the Day. So stop being nostalgic with the memories you have, of exchanging those friendship bands in Shreemaya that day! I hope my funny poem makes you laugh, and hey! .....did you just show your teeth??? than thats my gift on friendship day! Love You All, vinita
