:dontgeti::dontgeti:Why do you need to withdraw money if you don't spend on anything?

Expenses...hmm... Ram, 500-1000???!!! You need to be a jail inmate-kinds to manage on that!! or steal
Anyways, 5ks would be an average figure, including phone bills n all. And for a more indulgent lifestyle, 8-10k can be easily touched. I have seen people managing in 2-3ks, & people blowing away 20ks as well. Gurgaon/ Delhi can be money-drainers.

Oh, & congrats to all of you who made it through!!! And waitlisters, hold your horses! There'll surely be good news for many of you around the corner... just be patient. Best of luck!!

hail DC (Dome Council)!!
as the.bombardier puts it,it is the place to be in at MDI,if u wanna enjoy lyk hell... invariably,all evenings n nyt outs n non intellectual discussions occur at the dome... not to mention the never ending parties at our hostel...(at least for us!!:)) ...
about everything else,the campus is beautiful,the hostel mess wonderful (esp after engineering hostel :satisfie:),etc etc enough said...
btw,class quiz expected around 4pm...:( looks like d first reality check for the Dome Councillors....

Exactly!! Full masti on weekends......and who knows,maybe on weekdays too!! We plan to find out!!

yep nothin of the magical world seems unrealistic...JKR has got us emotionally attached to the characters...you really wanna belong to dat world & those people...its authors like her dat spell success....m a die hard fan of HP series...i cant stop ravin bout dat book....ppl try readin it..it wont be a waste....i can sooo easily vouch for it..
...

I'll second and third that.... And LOTR as well...awesome

oh so another harry potter fan....well its d style of writin that matters...i'v discovered a lot of philosophy in harry potter series also:)....
and ppl plz suggest some really gud books on philosophy....i cant read osho...its a bouncer...

True indeed. Lots of philosophy in those pages.
"ITs our choices that show us for what we truly are,far more than our abilities."
And its really the way she makes absurd and extraordinary things look and sound real,that make JKR unique. I never got a fairy tale feeling while reading the book,ever. In fact,the real world as we know it sounds alien while reading the book,and its the magical community that seems so real.

Hii...
amithar bhai , cudnt get back here... As they say, MDI never sleeps. thats what im discovering these days. Of course,not to mention that there are activities 24X7. Its really something different and unique from whatever iv been through before. And its exciting.Keeps you on your toes all the time. Infact, Iv not even been able to touch Shantaram, even tho i was enjoyin it soo much.
Anyways, Midnight's Children,FH,AS are some of my fave books. Heavy indeed, but their fictional approach makes for easier reading than,say, Argumentative Indian. As iv mentioned before, Midnight's Children follows a unique style of narration & choice of grammer/vocab,something i had never come across before and it took me a quarter of the book to get used to., But in the end,its a fantastic book.
In fiction, Ludlum rules. Especially if super secretive agencies,undercover agents,state of the art weaponry, tactics etc interest you more than the politics involved. In the latter case,its Forsyth,no question. The bourne series is good. But i didnt lyk the 4th book,written by Lusterbade.
And ifd you liked Ludlum,id recommedn Alistair McLean too. He is more into hard core action and adventure. A typical setting is - seemingly unsurmountable behind enemy lines operation, a set of super tough n likeable heroes,a n exotic locale and a breathtaking pace. Guns of Navarone.Force 22 from navarone & Where eagles dare are some masterpieces.

By the way, I love Harry Potter too.:satisfie: Ever since 9th standard. And i dont think its silly at all!

Congratulations,all new admits!! Welcome to MDI!!
Just get along attested copies of ur age poroof and qualifications.Work ex docs too,if applicable.
And get plenty of sleep too! Its a rare commodity out here!!

Me reading Shantaram. And its brilliant. Can already vouch for it as a must read. The pearls of wisdom, the easy,flowing narration, the powerful tide of emotions, the intimate and intricate relations ...... And the settings... Wow! Brilliant stuff!

It seems a bit late to post a reply, but here goes.

Kimi is finding it hard to adjust to the car and the Bridgestone tyres and he hasn't justified his move to Ferrari. True, we need to criticise and question his performances which haven't improved, to say the least. But unlike Alonso, he hasn't come out and said that Ferrari supports Massa, and he is the unfavoured one.

Alonso is already following his yearly traditions of trying to promote bad blood within the Formula 1 team he is currently employed in, and hence he has attracted criticisms.

And it is not like Massa is performing way better to challenge Alonso or Hamilton. He is sitting pretty at a no. 3 and no. 4. His last victory is now a distant memory and that does not help Ferrari any way in this title challenge.

Only, testing is where Ferrari may pull it back.

True,indeed. Alonso is really a whiner. You dont see that kind of attitude from a lot of people. And certainly not from true champions.
I hope and pray for a Hamilton victory this year. Kimi Massa n Ferrari already seem to be a lost cause. The difference in performance is too huge.And reliablity problems seems to be a thing of the past for the top 4 teams,so its all down to the car and the driver. where McLaren seem to have almost unchalleneged supremacy so far.

There aint no smoke without a fire,dude.
Even tho the talks of breaking contract may just be a rumor,but there definitely is tension in the McLaren camp. Poor ol FA is afraid to death,just after fightin off MS to last yrs championship,he has yet another prodigy to deal with.And this one is here for good. His grumbling after the last GP tell a lot about FA's grumpy attitude.He isnt just cut out to be a people's champ. Look at Hamilton.He's already conncting well with the media and sending out positive vibes with the crowds. He's the long race horse fellas.Its too early to proclaim him as the next MS,but surely,he'll be one of the top most out there.
PS Dont post out here much,just follow all the discussions.But FA is too annoyin to ignore!
