GRE Preparation

After almost 2 months of worthless vacation, I’ve started my preparations for GRE! My PG plans were always M.Tech. But after getting ‘B’ grade for my final year project, I understood that my brains and works will keep getting middle fingers if I do my PG in India. There are a very few colleges that are fit for M.Tech. And to get into those will entail high UG marks and high GATE results. When I looked the curriculum of GATE, there was “ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS”! Oaky – I lost my hope.

Exactly similar thoughts were running in Babu Prasad’s mind. He also had only M.Tech plans, One day he called me and asked if I am ready to take up GRE preparation. OMG! Good. I was searching for a company. And now you are there.

After 2 weeks of planning, we both joined Manchester - Coimbatore to take up the course. The Mathematics part is so much easier than I thought. Mathematics usually freaks me out, but not anymore…

They say: GRE vocabulary is the toughest part. I’m giving it equal concentration. I’m studying 40 words per day. And in this rate, it’ll take 80 days to complete vocabulary.

So far so good - !
I’m planning to fix my GRE exam about February and aiming for minimum 1400 marks. I’ve got no ideas about the courses / colleges. First let me write the exam. Then I’ll think about everything later.

Seriosly, I've not done this much mathematics in my entire life!!! :( .. For the first time, i find it interesting. All the best to me :) :)

Declaration Definition and Assignment

void *pointer;
pointer = malloc ( SIZE );
memcpy(pointer, source, SIZE);


short story about what happened so far.....

I was declared on June 23rd 1988. I was just a dangling pointer until I was defined. July 2005. My Career starts with B.Tech - Information Technology. I loved my college life. I didn't know i love programming and computers till i got into college.

Amrita School of Engineering defined me. I'm such a loser in academics (esp. mathematics.)!!! But I did well in programming subjects. Learned a lot out of prescribed and almost mastered C. I'm quite good in C++ and Java too. But out of all I enjoyed C the most.

I have this thirst for knowledge, and learnt as much as possible regrding computer basics/coding/algorithms/operating systems/little networking. I mean, I got my values assigned to all these things here.

Excitement, depression, success, failure, brilliance, stupidity, achievement, missing, saturation, emptiness, learning, unlearning, relief, pain, joy, sorrow - life has it all. I've learnt : Any of this can come to you anytime, accept them all - like a VOID POINTER - experiencing all of them makes you complete.!
