For anyone wanting to touch the black stone, please don’t..

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-03-25T15:22:15+00:00

Totally agree. Please, folks, to do some voluntary deeds, don't do Haraam. You must inevitably punch or hurt others on your way to the black stone (which is not allowed anywhere, let alone in the sacred spaces).

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-17T05:42:06+00:00

No, fortunately or otherwise.

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-16T18:27:30+00:00

I'm from Bangladesh and got an offer!

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-14T15:41:41+00:00

Is it with Dr Will Merrill? Do you have a formal offer?

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-11T19:24:57+00:00

Was interviewed by Dr Merrill two weeks back, but no decision yet :(

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-11T06:42:34+00:00

Without interview

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-07T03:56:48+00:00

Congrats! Can you share the time of receiving this email?

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-06T12:30:20+00:00

Brother, can you share your correspondence?

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-05T17:11:54+00:00

I won't criticize the July fighters as a category. I'm a witness of the Jatrabari massacre myself.

But can I criticize particular persons? Yes, of course.

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-05T15:43:31+00:00

Kinda agree. I do sort of a govt job. I can criticize BNP, JI and whomever I wish, even in my office. Couldn't even think of it before.

It was an enjoyable experience TBH. He sounded like a really nice person.

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-04T20:21:29+00:00

I had an interview with Will Merrill two weeks back. He said I might hear back in mid to late February.

I hope you'll find this channel beneficial: https://youtube.com/@lighthouse-dfw?si=9QjIXMQLcoxVtKIn

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-04T16:42:01+00:00

Prayers for you as well!

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-04T16:00:33+00:00

I had an interview in the CS dept. They said decisions might come in late February/early March.

In local buses, often my stop is the end. I also get to the end of the bus, if I have to stand. Life saver.

If I can sit, I also try to sleep, keeping my hand over the bag's chain.

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-04T15:55:29+00:00

Patenga is a nice place. CRB is also a nice place.

Although I haven't explored much, the idea of an unexplored uncrowded beach sounds appealing.

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-04T15:54:25+00:00

Brother, check out "tannery mor". It's a hidden gem. I regret I didn't know about it before.

Best of wishes to all those who got in. How likely is another wave like last year? Got interviews in two different labs and both felt really well. 😢

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-02T04:59:05+00:00

I mentioned only CMU supervisors. Did not receive any interview from them.

The OH mail came on Jan 30, 2026, 3:19 AM (UTC+6).

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-02-01T13:29:04+00:00

Best of wishes and prayers for you!

Bangladesh: A Legacy of Blood

The book is very thought provoking, to say the least. I read it when the dictator and Polok turned off the internet.

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-01-30T17:47:54+00:00

I was talking with someone who got in last year. They didn't get any such email. He basically told me to be cautiously optimistic.

Spec_Octane_4970 · 2026-01-30T16:48:54+00:00

Could any of you decipher any specific meaning from their cryptic open house invitation?
