Most of you know that I have been trying for doctoral studies for quite some time now. Without any journal publication and with not so great GRE score it was tough applying to various universities. The disheartening regret letters filled my room. I spent around 60,000 INR applying to Universities abroad as well as in India (The application fee is quite expensive in most universities) Finally, there is a good news. I am offered admission for Ph.D. in the School of Computer Engineering at NTU, Singapore with full scholarship! I have not received the offer letter yet, the information has been obtained from NTU website. The most interesting thing is that I have not spent any money while applying to NTU. If everything goes fine I should be in Singapore by August 2010. This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged PhD , Singapore . Bookmark the permalink .

I am typing this with bandages all over my hand and a stitch in my forehead :). Met with an accident in my Calicut-Thrissur ride, yesterday. The blog (?) would have been something else if not for the helmet (which is now a broken helmet). And about the heading: I took a different route this time. From Valanchery I took a bypass road to Kuttipuram and that is where I fell down. Oh yes, no vehicle came and hit me, I just fell down myself. A turning which appeared all of a sudden, gravelled road and sudden application of the break made the process smooth and clean. :).. Anyways, I am still alive to bore you all… This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged accident , NITC . Bookmark the permalink .

This is different from the earlier versions of ‘Coffee with Vivek’, where I bug my close friends and make them say stupid things and publish it here for the sake of increasing my blog entries. In the previous entries there weren’t any anonymity and the people whom I was referring to were they themselves. This time it is different and I choose not to disclose whom I am talking with. So for the sake of anonymity let us call her ‘Serena Williams’. Now, this person, in spite of being an intelligent girl she is one of the nuttiest of persons I ever met. To say more about this person, she is athletic and plays tennis :P. Anyways, some days back I was browsing with my gtalk on and then.. SW: Avivekam, are you there? (Some people call me ‘a  vivek’ :P) Me: Yes SW: avivekame, there is a personal sorrow I want to share with u. Are you ready? me: ok! SW: Most men whom i meet always think bad things abt me. Me: Maybe you are bad.. Hehe.. SW: No, not ...
