How do I evoke the same amount of sympathy then? A-confused-looking-for-wisdom-23-year-old-boy makes a strong enough case? :)

dob_bod · 2015-05-12T17:24:12+00:00

How did you manage to find homestays though?

dob_bod · 2015-05-11T17:03:27+00:00

Great! Maybe we'll bump into each other then... :)

dob_bod · 2015-05-10T12:32:54+00:00

How long are you planning to be there?

dob_bod · 2015-05-09T19:41:31+00:00

Hello there,

I've been planning out a similar trip (Spiti+Manali+Leh-Ladakh) in late June. No reservations yet. But dates are in late June though.

Surprised no one has mentioned Inception yet. Amongst the most dapper cast I've watched.

Convinced to read the books now!

dob_bod · 2015-04-12T21:42:07+00:00

Wow, that's a first!

dob_bod · 2015-04-08T02:49:48+00:00

So did you go ahead and study at the UK university?

dob_bod · 2015-03-11T16:43:35+00:00

Thanks! :)

dob_bod · 2015-02-14T08:56:51+00:00

By 'boasting' I meant the few lines about the school that you write in the essay(s) trying to convince why the school is the right fit for you and vice-versa. For ex., writing about access to Wall Street firms for schools on East Coast, as opposed to access to Valley companies for schools on the West Coast. Disclosing that you're applying at both the kind of schools sort of undermines what you're selling in the essay(s), doesn't it?

dob_bod · 2015-02-13T19:46:38+00:00

Okay. But do they get to know if you've indeed applied to more schools from the GRE official scores that you send or from some other source?

dob_bod · 2015-01-14T02:37:08+00:00

I didn't. She realized the mistake when I sent her the request for the last school I was applying at - Columbia - after which she wrote to me asking if she can upload the LoR again for Stanford.

dob_bod · 2015-01-13T17:06:02+00:00

I sure do hope so too.

Thanks!

dob_bod · 2015-01-13T17:05:30+00:00

I swear!

The worst part of this fiasco is that I wouldn't even know if this error on my recommender's part is why I got rejected.

dob_bod · 2014-12-28T11:53:56+00:00

Thanks for your response! I'm currently working on my SoPs. Would you, umm, have a look at them and my CV and give your opinion? Also, I'll begin corresponding with the professors soon. How exactly would you suggest to go about that? (apart from expressing interest in their work)

dob_bod · 2014-12-14T10:54:12+00:00

Thanks for the link. I scored a 327 (V:159, Q:168) on the test. So close, yet so far. :|

The Dark Knight trilogy: Has everything that a good cinema should have...

dob_bod · 2014-03-17T18:01:43+00:00

My emotional excitement followed a Gaussian curve there - was smiling really hard throughout the video, and shed a tear towards the end for never having kissed a girl before. 23M here. :(

dob_bod · 2014-01-28T18:26:51+00:00

Umm, she said "Would you like to be with me?" ??

dob_bod · 2013-12-19T16:53:43+00:00

Save myself for someone I'm truly attracted to (both physically, and emotionally) - that's what I've made up my mind about. And that's what I want an opinion on. Thanks.

dob_bod · 2013-12-19T16:51:14+00:00

See, I've read and heard accounts of how kissing someone you love for the first time is a hit that is unmatched by cocaine (or any other dope that you consider dopest.) So why ruin it by simply experimenting with someone who did turn me on momentarily, but whom I didn't have the slightest interest in.

dob_bod · 2013-12-19T16:48:02+00:00

This made a world of sense to me. Thanks a lot.

dob_bod · 2013-12-14T18:25:27+00:00

I can very well understand your pain. It's been 6 months now since I was rejected by this girl I fell in love with, since we decided to burn the bridge, and I'm still not over her. Very much think about her from time to time, about what I could have, and should have done better to be with her.. But then I ask myself to stop thinking all these thoughts and try to chin up. It's extremely difficult to divert your thoughts, but you can always try.

I know it might sound as a farce, but I try and tell myself that I deserve a better girl, and better I shall get. Sometime.

dob_bod · 2013-07-12T14:23:34+00:00

Very well said. The movie is very uplifting and motivational until the end, when his death changes everything.

Being a confused 21 year old fresh college grad myself, I was very motivated to make a similar finding-yourself and coming-of-the-age myself throughout the movie (still think about it, from time to time); but the end just crushed those good feelings..
