<p>there is nothing to be paranoid about:</p>
<p>oh my god!!!, whats gonna happen?, ooh, aah </p>
<p>do watever you want…</p>
<p>they have already made thier decisions and your worrying about it wont change em</p>
<p>We are not worrying to somehow change the decision. That’s stupid.</p>
<p>And we’re not so much worried as we are anxious.</p>
<p>precisely thats what I am saying…anxious is a better word</p>
<p>Some are using the word worried</p>
<p>They haven’t made their decisions, yet. Not even MIT.</p>
<p>yep… to know that our file might be the discussion of a committee this very moment!</p>
<p>Presenting some hilarious quotes to lighten up the mood:
(It’s being copied from a newspaper column. The quotes don’t necessarily reflect bas007 Inc.'s thoughts. No lawsuits will be entertained)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. (Churchill)</p></li>
<li><p>Falling in love with oneself is the start of a life-long romance. (Oscar Wilde)</p></li>

<p>Oh we’re sorry ajay, we’ll make sure to clear our semantical usage of the word ‘worried’ with you first in the future… (Must refrain from making ad hominem remarks :))
It’s perfectly understandable that we all be a bit nervous/worried/irritable/whatever word you want to put here…</p>
<p>Abhi is there any site you know which lists some competitions or stuff i can participate in over the summer?</p>
<p>I’d highly appreciate your feedback and response to these quotes.</p>

<p>this is d best ajay…</p>
<p>ajay- you might want to look at thinkquest (<a href=“http://www.thinkquest.org%5B/url%5D”>www.thinkquest.org</a>) or the Asian Regional Space Settlement Design Competition (<a href=“http://www.arssdc.org%5B/url%5D”>www.arssdc.org</a>)</p>
<p>I dunno if you have read these jokes on engineers, but I love 'em… This will probably help you cope with this anxious week…</p>
<p>–
Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?” </p>
<p>The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.” </p>
<h2>The second engineer nodded approvingly, “Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn’t have fit.”</h2>
<p>Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Department person asked the young engineer, fresh out of MIT, “And what starting salary were you looking for?” </p>
<p>The engineer replied, “In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.” </p>
<p>The HR person said, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks of vacation, fourteen paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?” </p>
<p>The engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow! Are you kidding?” </p>
<h2>And, the Human Resources person said, “Of course, but you started it.” </h2>
<p>I know both the jokes 
and spacepirate, wat abt that joke -
Who’s better wife or mistress?</p>
<p>NASA HQ scientist: We must follow the procedure, so wife.
Kennedy Space Centre scientist: Independence of operations is must, so mistress.
JPL scientist: Tell ur wife that u r wid ur mistress and vice versa, and go to the lab to do research…</p>
<p>btw, just out of curiosity, Who loves Bond 007 here??..(I m watching evry movie right from d beginin on Star Movies…evry weekday morning 10:50 AM)…</p>
<p>I don’t… I only like the 007 tag</p>
<p>Many</p>
<ol>
<li>IRIS fair-- Affilaite of ISEF in India. Very prestigious in the US.</li>
<li>NASA Space settlemet, as spacepirate pointed out</li>
<li>KVYP – Orgnizaed by IIS, Banglore</li>
</ol>
<p>spacepirate that competition is over i guess…anyways thanks mate!</p>
<p>@bas-mm i remember the joke, but it didnt have NASA HQ, KSC or JPL. Was that your masala?
@ajay- both the competitions are annual, so you can prepare this summer for next year’s. At least that’s what I did with ARSSDC.</p>
<p>a li’l bit…:)</p>
