Hi all!!! It's been a long time! I arrived back in Belgium this morning and I am totally exhaustedn but in order to avoid a serious jetlag, I need to stay up until tonight.
I had a crazy time, they gave me a very busy schedule, but I really got to know a lot. I met with 10 professors or so and sat in on 4 courses. I also met with loads of grad students in my department. I really LOVE the place, but I'm still waiting to hear from 4 universities before I make my final decision. I'm going to start mailing grad secretaries to ask them about the decision to speed things up a bit.
Anyhow, I wasn't able to meet up with Aaru, unfortunately. Apart from the traveling through by plane/train, I was in Boston for only 5 hours during which my cousin had me walk all over the city to see every area. In any case, if I'm going to Brown, we'll have loads of chances to meet up in the near future. Right, Aarushi?
I hope all of you are doing fine!
Good luck to the waiters and the decision-makers!

Hi everybody!
@Cri: Great to hear about your trip Keep us posted about your final decision.
@ Cap'n and Ish: How goes the Visa interview preparation?
@Everybody else: All the best for the admissions results.

Long time since I posted anything here. Here are some assorted quotes by Feynman

• For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled
• There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers
• We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on
• You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something
• The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool
• It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong
• Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry
• Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

Hi ram and cri, long long long time

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.

Yes, it's a long wait. I've actually sent out several e-mails to grad secretaries yesterday and most of them have replied. So, it feels good to know more decisions. I would love to attend Brown, but I need to have all information to be able to make the final decision.
Good luck to you for the universities you're still waiting for!

@Kron: congratulations on the good exams!!
Are you already prepping for the GRE?
