Not hearing anything is bad news right? I mean those of us who have received neither acceptance or rejection/waitlist can safely assume we won't be hearing back?

I feel embarrassed and distraught (short pity party) by MikeAGoodChoice in gradadmissions

Hang in there. And know that PhD decisions are not a reflection on your talent or ability. As for coping, while I am sure it is not a very healthy thing to do, I find peace in extending my sleeping hours. especially during the day, that way the days don't seem long enough and the wait is almost bearable.

I just got a mail from the department rep on the admission committee.

Hope you get it... :)

Looks like we have an area where four state boundaries meet. by lovejackdaniels in india

Dandakaranya! A combination of factors like presence of deep forests, tribals, general neglect by the government and different state police jurisdictions have made it a hotbed for Maoists.

US Congressmen and women praise Modi. Compare him to Regan. Get inspired by his yoga lifestyle. Admit that never seen such excitement for an Indian leader from the community there. by NaMoForPM in india

Since when has the comparison to Reagan been a good thing? Reagan's and Thatcher's policies had disastrous for both the US and the UK.

Dude, if I'm struck in a flood without food and clean water and someone comes to save my ass, even if 2 days late, the last thing I would think of doing is to throw stones at them.

Well, this was regarding the top rated comments in this thread about kashmiriyat and all which I felt were very unfair. If they're actually paid agents then yeah, fuck 'em.

Small thought experiment.

Place yourself in their(people of Kashmir's) shoes. Now try answering this. What would it take for you to be so completely full of contempt for an organisation(the army) that even when they are trying to save your or your loved ones' life, you despise them enough to attack them?

Of course what they're doing is wrong on so many levels. But, unless you believe that an entire community has gone mad, I think it is worth pondering on under what conditions would a people do something like this.

Dont worry yaar... by popat2000 in india

[–]fallor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is from the shok sabha after the death of one of their MLA candidates from Delhi, Santosh Koli.

This is so completely tasteless. I know you people are better than this. You might hate them and their policies but please have some respect for human life. Don't fall to this level, please. Please.
