Secret Crush :(

I was standing next to him in a lonely beach at dusk. I kept my tears to myself. I don't remember how long i stood there like that...


It was just another dreamy day. My mind was filled with happiness that knew no bounds when i saw him coming towards me. My heart started beating fast. But all this happiness did not last long. My eyes twinkled brightly with real love, but my lips parted each other for a fake smile..I was able to feel the pain in my soul...
I was able to convey my best wishes to him through signed language, he understood that and said thank u in signed language again.

How else can i show him that i am happy on receiving his wedding invitation, since i am both deaf and dumb (but not soulless)!!!!I was able to hear the weeping of my heart and able to feel the smile in his heart!!!!
NOW GO BACK AND READ THE STORY AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING....

SCIENCE FICTION IN TAMIL CINEMA

As years roll on, tamil flim industry is really making very good science fiction movies. Here let us take the mega-hit of the decade, ENDHIRAN and another science-fiction tamil flim "7 am arivu".
The dialogues, that Writer Sujatha has written for the movie endhiran was really awesome. I watched the movie thrice, only to listen to those dialogues again and again. I am a die-hard fan of sujatha and his works.
I was able to understand the technical words that were used in the dialogue of the hero (ofcourse, SUPER STAR RAJNIKANTH) and the villain.
This movie increased my involvement in the Artificial Intelligence paper!!!! :)) i scored 89% in AI. Ever since i was a kid, i always liked to watch science-fiction movies in english like TERMINATOR, AI, ET, MARS ATTACKS, INDEPENDENCE DAY etc.
My family is well educated, and i must thank the elders in my family for taking much strain and explaining to me the concepts in those movies.
As i have already discussed enough about the future and AI in one of my old posts, let me not discuss about it in detail now.
The second science fiction cum infotainment movie is "7 am arivu". the much hyped words are "Hypnotism" and "Bhodhi dharma". I watched this movie in a theatre in my town.I came to know many things which i had never heard of before.

GRE :)

I took GRE(Graduate Record Examination) on november-2-2011. In this post, i am writing my experience. After attending weekend classes for GRE in one of the institutes in chennai for nearly 2.5 months, i finally decided to appear for the exam in the first week of november.
My faculties for math and verbal taught very well, that i am very thankful to them. My math faculty was very friendly and he was available at any time to clarify our doubts. My verbal faculty was also too good to be forgotten. She encouraged me very well. This sudden idea to take gre mushroomed in my brain after my visit to scotland.
This was the first competitive exam i took after joining in college. The rules in the prometric test center @ nungambakkam chennai, were new to me. It was a well maintained, calm and clean place. Test takers came with their passports. Later, i came to know that passport is mandatory for the exam. I was not supposed to take my mobile, paper, waterbottle, pen etc. They provided pencil and scratch papers for the test-takers.
The only break time in which i am allowed to go out was during the 10 minutes break after awa, and three sections.
I was extremely thirsty, hungry and tired. I used the interval very effectively to refresh my brain. I ate some buiscuits and went to restroom. I am very good in math than in english. Luckily, i got the experimental section as quantitative reasoning. I was able to secure 304/340 in total in the revised gre.
148 in verbal and 156 in math!!! I discussed with some of my friends who took the exam in the month of november; all of them congratulated me for my score.
I took nearly 5 full gre tests before appearing for the final exam. I suggest the readers to take as many full length mock tests as possible before taking the main exam. This is very much advised for those who take computer-based test, as they need to develop their concentration power for nearly 3 long hours in a stretch. I would also suggest that test-takers should memorize as many gre words as possible. This will certainly help them to do reading comprehension well. My gre regime, as a whole extended from august till november, during which period, i prepared for the exam for atleast 2 hours a day.
All the best for the gre test-takers of the future!!!! :-)
