The Perfect Vacation

The phrase Perfect vacation for me means my car, my destination, and the people with me should be the ones whom I consider as the best thinkers and from whom I want to ask a hell lot of questions. Now you must be wondering who are these people. The people are Steve Jobs(founder of Apple), Mark Zuckerberg(Facebook founder) and Osama Bin Laden(Al Qaeda).

Examify: A brilliant idea!

No, I didn't give the exams this year (I passed 12th last year), but the thing that makes me unhappy is the wave of comparison that sets up just nanoseconds after the results are out. Aunts, uncles, neighbours and all sorts of people found on earth just have...

Memories (The dreaded IITJEE)...

8th April... I remember this day very well as last year I gave the most dreaded exam of all, the IITJEE exam on this day only.

It was...
