That’s the weird thing. I can’t say.
Bdw, that reminds me, I finally read that essay you emailed me (Yale i think?). I really liked it! Very nice ‘fun’ essay!</p>

<p>Wow, 4.0 is really good right? Good luck with your transferring Ans!
And ani, get some sleep man. <em>wags virtual finger at aniruddhc</em>

I’ll tell you what I’ve been telling myself for the past ~two years. I will I will. :wink: I had the option of Sherlock Holmes and SDM when they released, and I chose SH. I will… I really will.

Takes classy people like arunemo and me to like such a work of art. :stuck_out_tongue:
Haha, jk, it’s okay, I liked BAT, but I wouldn’t see it again much. It’s MFL that I loved.</p>

<p>I really shouldn’t be here. Oh well, I’ve decided to stay off CC tomorrow onwards anyway.</p>

1982

<p>PrincetonDreams, thank you for the help with my essays. The rest of my College Interest essays were far more detailed and concise. I didn’t have enough time to send you more essays, but yeah they were better. :)</p>

<p>In fact it’s my CA essay that’s weird. </p>

<p>And rsaxena, I’ll glad if that person understands it the second time. :)</p>

<p>Hello aniruddhc,</p>

<p>Username changes are reserved for accounts with small posting historv. Given that you have over 1,400 posts we are not able to update your username. Our only option at this point is likely not sufficient for you, and that is to help you update up to three of your posts that you feel provide sensitive information.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Sincerely,
CC Admin</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ah, hope the adcoms will be glad too.</p>

1985

<p>^^ And by posting this, you attract even more attention to your previous posts.</p>

1986

<p>

True that. It’s ok R, I don’t expect you to understand.</p>

<p>JK, haha it’s not everyone’s cuppa. I think at that point I was going through a classics phase. I’m over it now, and on to Christopher Nolan’s movies atm (I LOVE Memento. So so so good and Ghajini was a pale imitation).</p>

<p>

.
Of course you will Pixie. Totally respect that. Good luck for the boards!
And see you tomorrow ;)</p>

<p>My interview was great! The interviewer was completely chill and we got along pretty well! (Pix, check your FB). He was a really funny guy and not at all uptight and serious as I expected him to be from his photos (Yes, my friend and I googled him). Just goes to show that appearances are remarkably deceptive. The only thing is, now that it’s over I can’t stop thinking of how I could’ve answered his questions better! Oh well :p</p>

1987

<p>

</p>

<p>No, its just that I wanted to have my username changed and they aren’t letting me do that.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Me? ;-(</p>

Hands down the best blog EVER.</p>

1989

<p>Nemo, I agree! Thanks for sharing that link.</p>

<p>Here is a TED talk that made me rethink what I want to do:
[Rob</a> Hopkins: Transition to a world without oil](<a href=“http://www.ted.com/talks/rob_hopkins_transition_to_a_world_without_oil.html]Rob”>http://www.ted.com/talks/rob_hopkins_transition_to_a_world_without_oil.html)</p>

1990

<p>TED is amazing. Anyone seen Ken Robinson’s talks?</p>

1991

<p>^yes
this one is really great
[Ken</a> Robinson says schools kill creativity](<a href=“http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html]Ken”>http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html)</p>

1992

<p>Yup, that’s his most famous video…</p>

1993

<p>I write my longest CC post ever, and it just disappears… ■■■. You probably got it, Nemo. ;)</p>

<p>Anyways, my last post here guys. CC’s kinda useless for me now and I mostly post pointless things haha.
I hope you all get into your first choice colleges, and I hope that for some of you that’s Stanford. :slight_smile: If you do decide to enroll at S, don’t forget to PM or E-mail me!! :)</p>

<p>Best of luck,
R</p>

1994

<p>^I bet that’s not the last we’ll see of you here on CC. </p>

<p>‘R’ eh? :)</p>

<p>And how did your longest post ever disappear? :O</p>

1995

<p>aniruddh-I have! He is absolutely brilliant. I believe I posted a video of his here at some point, about changing education paradigms.</p>

<p>Oh and here’s the accompanying TED talk to the blog I posted-

1996

<p>@princeton: why are you leaving?</p>

<p>Yeah. Ken has made some really valid points!</p>

<p>Have you’ll watched The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch? He was a prof at Carnegie Mellon who died of cancer. Great guy. Youtube him!</p>

1997

<p>@princetondreams, Wish you all the best. Thanks for putting up with me. :)</p>

1998

<p>

</p>

<p>Nemo, Yes, you did. Links you have shared here have been real gems.</p>

1999

<p>This is similar to what I experience when I visit my ancestral home in India:</p>
