Thanks Target-09 for taking the initiative (of asking the adcom formally)!

You know what- you just contributed to India's GDP by adding 1.5 * 500= 750 man days!

( 1.5 days to go for 20th nov, 500 anxious puys who are spiritually absent from office.)

Each new sms sound, each new gtalk pop up had started sending chills down my spine. Thanks I can breathe easy till 20th now...

Now we all have another 1.5 days (and nights) for creating conspiracy theories!!! Are there any authors around here??? The plot thickens... :-D

If I were recruiting for an office in USA, I wouldn't take the risk of that guy not getting an H1B later.

Thanks Sarat

Re your 'risk', do the Math

ISB Class of 2010 =560
Last year Inl offers =111 http://www.isb.edu/pgp/Placement_Highlights.Shtml
So assume same or more for 2010, so=120
US H1B quota likely (even with Obama)=100,000
House Republicans Move To Increase H1B Visa Quota
Plus business visas etc.
Doesn't seem to be too much of a risk.
Of course, this year's ISB placements will tell the real story
Cheerio

Richa,

The truth about the doc theory can only be known once the results are out. then we can separately survey those who did and did not get in and check when their doc status was updated.

It's impossible to know for sure right now.

p.s. I did take the survey!

Im sure someone at ISB must be reading all our "theories" and laughing bout it,
im sure next year we'd be doing the same thing, sitting in ISB and smiling away at the theories posted in 'ISB 2010 Aspirants' thread...

Umm, honestly it is better now. My heart used to feel a jerk upon seeing these pop ups. It still shakes, but the intensity is quite low.

One thing for sure- now at least one can afford to move away from PG for longer periods! :1eye:

I Can, Because I Believe I Can: Ode to Coffee

में और मेरी कॉफी अक्सर बातें किया करते हैं
तुम ना होती तो ऐसा होता, तुम ना होती तो वैसा होता
तुम कभी कॅपुचीनो ना होती, तुम कभी मोकाचिनो भी ना होती
तुम ना होती तो ऐसा होता, तुम ना होती तो वैसा होता
में और मेरी कॉफी अक्सर बातें किया करते हैं

यह रात है, या एस्प्रेस्सो का उभरा हुआ रंग
यह चांदनी है, या तुम्हारी आरजू में नींदें उडी है
यह चाँद है, या तुम्हारे कप की नाजुक चमक
ये सितारे है या तुमपर बिछी हुई रौशनी की झिलमिलाहट
ये हवा का झोंका है, या तुम्हारी उड़ती हुई खुशबू
ये पत्तियों की है सरसराहट, या तुमने चुपके से मुझे पुकारा
ये सोचता हूँ मैं कबसे गुमसुम
की जब मुझको भी है ख़बर की तुम नही हो
दिल कहता है की तुम यही हो, यही कही हो

में और मेरी कॉफी अक्सर बातें किया करते हैं

Cheers

Great suggestion...Here's a poem from my blog. It's perfect for this occasion. It's an original :P

Killing Time....

(This poem has been written at an extremely boring conference, where I was finding means to do some time-pass, so chances are that it might be boring <:P> but still, enjoy the rhyme scheme!!)

It's easy to kill a dog,
It's easy to kill a man in fog,
It's easy to kill a fruit without a dime,
But what's not easy is to kill time.

Take the dog and buthcher his head,
In an instant the dog will be dead,
Killing a dog is not at all a crime,
But can someone tell me - how to kill time??

Take a knife and slash a men's neck,
Throw his dead body in a crowded deck,
Killing him will surely be a crime,
But I would prefer killing time.

Go to the shrub and pluck a sweet lime,
Devour the fruit at no extra dime,
That my friend is certainly no crime,
But what the hell, HOW DO I KILL TIME ??!!??

-------------
and I dunno how many of u r hooked on to Barneyisms of How I met your Mother (HIMYM), this one's in Barney style -> "When I am anxious, I stop being anxious and start being awesome instead. True Story"
IF you dont know what is HIMYM, just go get ur hands on all the 3 seasons of it and watch it in 1.5 days, trust me it's awesome!

Cheers!
