Today was somewhat amazing day in my life....
I unpacked the huge baggage which i carried all the way long from India....the massaala's stock was all unloaded...Suddenly MTR DOSA redimix caught my eye...
and i just went ahead making the receipe preparations....
finally i landed up safely getting a couple of tutta futta dosas in my dish....i wud better prefer not to say dosa but they were similar to the UTTAPPA...heheh
so u can just guess the size n thickness of it....i do have some snaps of it...so folks who r interested do get back to me....[:D]
so folks was this mouthwatering....i hope it was....nyways it was mouthwatering for me at least...[;)]
the second best thing was i got a chance to congratulate the recently inaugurated President of our institute Mr. Destler. We had a nice chat...i remember the words he quoted were..."I am too a Freshmen like you..."...strange naa....?
but its true since it was his first time to get elected as a president and he was so energetic and his talk was also no where less as compared to our Dr. Kalam's.
the 3rd best thing was ...i cooked a spicy Dal Tadka for the first time for the dinner....its was cool experience...i know i m gonna get this same experience now probably everyday atleast for 2 years from now....
and the 4rd best thing was ....i gotta a chance for ice skiing...its was an event scheduled on behalf of fresh incoming students....we had a real blast at this event.
i did tried to rollon....but cudnt do it...bocz i was not at all able to balance my weight.
Sandeep, Dhruv, Prateek...all of them were tryin this thing for the first time even though these guys were at RIT since last year....i must be lucky that i gotta a chance to skii in the ice rink.
we do have some snaps which i hope will soon upload here on this post sooner....

Landing up in Amrikaa....
The journey was awesome, i had a non stop journey from Mumbai to JFK[NY]
spent cool time taking snaps of atlantic in the morning hours while flying just above UK.
had to board my connecting flight to Rochester at 9.25 am but unfortunately it was delayed by 40 mins ...guess why?
bcoz my jet was in a queue of 12 flights waiting to take off
atlast landed at Roc on time 11.25 am.
the weather was pretty chilling, 16 deg C...may be it was chillin for me bcoz i had a nasty feel of a humid day in Mumbai b4 takeoff.
do check out the future posts for the snaps I took during my journey.

GRE is Changing
Changes to the Graduate Record Exam
Educational Testing Service (ETS), the guys and gals who write the GRE, announced that they’re adding a few new question types to the GRE in November 2007.
These changes are minor (VERY minor) and they won’t impact your score. Here’s the deal: at most, you’ll see ONE new question. One. It could be math, it could be verbal, or you could have no new questions. The time per section and the number of questions within that section won’t change.
About the New Questions
Verbal (text completion)
You’ll have to fill in two or three blanks from separate multiple-choice lists within a reading comprehension passage.
Math (numeric entry)
You’ll have to type your answer as a number in a box, or in boxes if it’s a fraction.
It’s important to know exactly what to expect when you take the GRE. That said, this announcement shouldn’t impact your preparation or your testing plans. Certainly, if you prep with us, we’ll teach you what these questions look like so you'll be able to quickly spot these experimental questions!
Sincerely,
The Princeton Review GRE Team

Watch "Productive Nanosystems (From molecules to superproducts)" on Google Video
Productive Nanosystems: From molecules to superproducts.
An excellent video demosntrating the future in NanoScience.
Productive Nanosystems (From molecules to superproducts)
4 min 55 sec - Mar 14, 2006
Average rating: (196 ratings)
Description: Visualizing productive nanosystems and molecular manufacturing is a major challenge in communicating the power of this technology. To help address this problem, Nanorex (http://www.nanorex.com ) and the Foresight Institute (http://www.foresight.org/ ) established a challenge grant to fund the production of a new computer-generated animated short film called "Productive Nanosystems: from Molecules to Superproducts". This was a collaborative project of animator and engineer, John Burch (http://www.lizardfire.com/ ), and pioneer nanotechnologist, Dr. K. Eric Drexler (http://www.e-drexler.com/ ). The film depicts an animated view of a nanofactory and demonstrates key steps in a process that converts simple molecules into a billion-CPU laptop computer.

JUDGEMENT DAY
I wont take long to tell u the reason.
I had got my most desired admit for a US university named Rochester Institute of Technology for Master's in Microelectronics Engineering. Also the news that made me feel so good was that I got 50% tuition fee waiver from the department.
