Being in the final year of your graduation can be really frustrating. Your mind is stuffed with all sorts of things that increase your blood pressure to the top. On top of it if you have your parents pushing you into a marriage, you’re in for trouble big time baby! Now I agree most of the times this is the case with the chicks around, all that parents pushing in an early marriage stuff. In my case, or I must say, poor Zoravar’s case it’s the opposite. My parents are keen on getting me ‘at least engaged’ to some chick I don’t know, chick I have never met or seen or even talked to.

I have always voted for staying single in my entire life. Not that I was one of those ugly ducklings at school or college. I have known people who were and who are into relationships. Trust me dude, you don’t wanna be in any of those. Chicks dig the crap out of a guy. They will make you do things you just dont want to. They will call you at the wrong times. They will ask you for those more-than-just-favor things. They will track you down wherever you go. They will ask you all those stupuid WH questions. They will take total control over you.

Ahhh! I need to clear some air with my parents. They just can’t get a poor kid married to some chick like that. But first I need to ask them if she’s really hot! How do I do that?! Any ideas?!

Preparing for the GRE exam is really getting me nervous. My exam is scheduled for this November. Apart from the all-day horrifying classes I spend most of my day Googling for Universities and colleges to apply for. I bet every Indian student who searches for admission in colleges abroad looks for nothing but the “Best universities and colleges” there. Ugly chicks in Indian colleges is one reason for people like me to escape from the country after graduation hoping American Pie isn’t a scam. I don’t know about others but I search for universities and colleges based on the following algorithm;

1. Look for a college with a lot of hot chicks.
2. Keep looking.
3. In case you find one, see to it that it actually provides with a suitable study program.
4. In case 3 returns a False, go back to 1 and if it is impressive then change study program.

I’ll share my research with you with slides on the top 10 hot colleges and universities in US to apply.

10. Louisiana State University

LSU geatures great cheerleaders, and their marching band even gets into the act, featuring a subunit called the LSU Golden Girls. Awesome!

A 22 year old American student is all set to auction her virginity on a radio show. No she’s not another upcoming Paris Hilton but she’s doing it to raise money for college. She is even willing to submit to a polygraph test and a gynaecological exam, in case anyone doubts her virginity. How’s that for desperation?

So how far can you go for raising money to pay for college fees. Education might not be as expensive as in the United States and the UK but still it manages to blow a big hole in your pocket. Technically it’s your parents bank balance.

Money saved is money earned. Here is how you can go about saving your parents hard earned cash:

++ Sell your virginity everywhere. If a dumb American girl is smart enough to think of something like this, use your proud Indian tag to copy the whole idea. Since you’re a smart Indian student, you might as well sell your virginity a thousand times and still be able to pass the polygraph test. (Corruption mate!)

++ Go easy on booze. College is the time when you begin experimenting with all sorts of things containing alcohol. Booze isn’t dirt cheap. It adds to your expenses. Getting addicted will certainly add insult to injury.

++ Beg, borrow or steal books. Your books are important than Paris Hilton. They certainly come in handy during exams. You just can’t afford to buy brand new books from the local bookstore. Borrow books from your seniors. In case you get a chance, steal some from the college library.

Although it sounds interesting but I have this feeling that I shouldn’t even try thinking of getting involved in this challenge. No I don’t have anything against Google. I love Google. It’s just that the college authorities at my end will show an iota of cooperation. I am dead sure about that.

Ah! I really want that trip to a Google India office!!!!

I moved to Faridabad last week. That should explain my week long absence from the blog. I was recently staying at my relatives’ place in New Delhi and decided to shift to Faridabad with Ankur. We decided to rent a nice little room close to the college. The first impression I had about Faridabad was not so bad. That’s because I didn’t really get to see the core area! So expect some serious reviews about Faridabad soon.

I am still suffering from connectivity issues. Airtel Broadband morons have taken more than a week to provide us with a connection. The room is still unorganized. A lot needs to be done. A lot needs to be bought. Gosh! I just spent the last week totally disconnected. It felt like being left on an island with no access to the outside world. I need to do a lot of catching-up. Low on time I am actually saving web pages on my hard drive for reading later on.
