The Indian Thread (TiT) # 15

<p>Professor Devlin: “There was this one cycloid I couldn’t solve last night. But then I solved it this morning, so I put it on the problem set. [Class groans.] Come on, guys, it’s not that hard!” </p>

<p>Is he the Devlin of Devlin’s Angles column of MAA… ?</p>

<p>Well, I m lookin forward to hav a ‘‘glance’’ at the ‘‘grand’’ library of which ever college I go…</p>

<p>bas we’ve all read all of them, and you’re not helping! we want to forget about MIT until we get our results!</p>

<p>Ohhh I was talkin abt Prof Devlin only…</p>

<p>Well, this is a fact…whoever comes to CC, does visit MIT’s site…n once he/she enters that site, v all know ‘‘wot’’ happns nxt…</p>

<p>I’m pretty pre-occupied with thoughts about Caltech. Funny, I wasn’t even going to apply to Caltech. :mad:</p>

<p>okay, the Mr. Devlin I was talkin abt is a diff guy… He’s at Stanford…</p>

<p>Is abhi here? Wat’s the progress on telephonic front… packages tracked?</p>

<p>Don’t worry too much Lakshya, it’s out of your hands now, that being said, I’ll bet the ringing of your doorbell must be a tension filled experience!</p>

<p>btw, (my memory seems to be failing me :)), did you apply to MIT Lakshya?</p>

<p>No. :D</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ll faint if I open the door and see a FedEx dude. I swear. :p</p>

<p>I’m just thankful that I’m getting all my decisions online! (bit of a dichotomy isn’t there, with one of the best technology schools using such a low tech method? ) :D</p>

<p>Yeah, still stuck up with traditions. </p>

<p>But, if and that’s a big if I get accepted, I’ll be glad that I got it through mail.</p>

<p>Well I’m moved on to the Grand Design (ypm), seems strangely appropriate what with talk of convention, and nuclear weapons and all that… :D</p>

<p>This guy called karthick… had I known personally I’d have whacked him (no… not seriously, I mean I’d have hit n home-runs, if he were a pitcher :slight_smile: ) I know x, x^2 brilliant guys, geniuses, prodigies et al… so does spacepirate… BUT R WE SINGING PAENS OF THEM … that too at such a tense moment… 'Tis all getting on my nerves now…</p>

<p>well don’t feed the ■■■■■■!</p>

<p>Well I’m back! Free to post another day!</p>

<p>And here comes d procrasinator…;)…</p>

<p>My second problem is that even if I do get a FedEx instead of regular mail (For any of my decisions) they’re not going to come to my house, Oh no, that would be too easy. As it’s Dubai, proper street addresses don’t exist. Hence they’ll go to my father’s office and deliver it there. :p</p>

<p>Not that that’s going to be an issue though…</p>

<p>

Since that incident they aren’t mentioning Student’s name on the site. As per my knowledge there’s no Non-Disclosure Agreement simply because not allowing us to phone DHL is unethical on MIT’s part. Search blogs, there’s post in which Ben doesn’t objects on phoning DHL(although he advises to view them online.)
Line is still busy.
Bloody DHL.</p>

<p>So, few more hrs to go…(not for me though…)…6-7 hrs to say…</p>
