Hey Ritu, Thanks for the welcome. I don't know what modus operandi you are talking about. If you are talking about my theory, it's a science ! :-) It's not a method to cheat anyone hehe As far as your link is concerned, the info is helpful for students coming for the first time. Thankfully I have no problem integrating in any country since I've traveled the world extensively over the past 20 years :-)

ritu: p t branum that maha-guru of niche marketing would point out "most" (in #15) does not mean "all" and to dampen the glee here is another view: the enabler in the heavens is an equal opportunity disappointer mahajirzadeh

nights? ---------------------------------- For that angle Chaitanya, let me recommend this excellant bit of advice from wisened soul in the blogosphere. http://greatbong.net/2005/01/18/gentlemen-of-the-class-of-2005/ From the other-side-of-the-fence view (albeit from the Indian campus experience and many years back) let me say, this works only in the first year. By second year most girls wisen up to the modus operandi. So make hay while the sun shines. And welcome aboard :).

haha if you are talking about my theory, you can count nights if you want to (provided that the data is available)

Nice article. I thought it is a serious article before starting to read, and turned out to be a classic case of good humour.

Hey Temple, Aditi & Seema, I'm still getting used to posting here. Being a slow learner, I think the first one didn't go through. Just wanted to thank you for your positive feedback and say that for a change my ego has "out bloated" my body. If only trimming fat was as easy as trimming ones ego !

Welcome to DC Chai! If you've gotten a good look at the dead serious nature of discourses on DC (Kashmir protests, dowry laws, traffic rules and what have you) you will get a fair idea of how much of your humor we could use here to keep us from taking ourselves much too seriously. ...not to mention its always heartening to see "portly frame" and "modeling" in the same vitae :D Keep 'em coming!
