well nytimes is new york times...

well i hav a feeling it happens.. see the point is i feel in gre they ask u words which generally is only a lil above the level of native english speakers.. ie words that are normally used but by the "hi-fi" guys.. so i feel thats wat we need tolearn.. n going by the number of ppl who say they got words out of gre i felt atleast 40-50% words might be out of it...

but lets c.. only at the end of this will we get to hav a good idea!!!


more posts plzzzzzzzzzz

Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.

The surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
