To think, to reflect, to write
There are times when words seem futile, and to no one more so than a writer. At these moments it seems that nothing is of value other than to act and to intervene in the course of events: to think, to reflect, to write seem trivial and wasteful.
Amitav Ghosh vividly brings before us what he saw in the Andamans in the series of articles published in "The Hindu"
Article 1 – Overlapping faults
Article 2 – No aid needed
Article 3 – The town by the sea
The Story of the Director is very moving
.....And now for the first time, the boy began to cry, and the Director's heart broke because he knew his son was crying because he thought he would be scolded and blamed for what had happened.
There are few questions for which there is no answer.
1. Why was three girls burnt one february afternoon in Dharmapuri in their college bus
2. Why was it that no one who was involved in certifying schools in Kumbakonam think that it is hazardous to fabricate the roof with highly inflammable material
Now questions about Tsunami will be added to this list

A typical week following Entrance Exam
The easiest paper I have ever seen..... Attempted 93 % of questions... Just 5 mistakes
Day 0 - on the day of the exam - in the evening - after discussion with friends
Oops.... did a few silly mistakes...... Otherwise I would have got a very good rank. Any how the cut off will rise this time ... There are atleast 100 persons in my college who will have more than 80% effective net
Day 1 - after refering few books
The paper looks simple, but there are one or two traps
Day 2 - after refering more books and discussing with friends
Most of the answers become wrong when we check the answer with the latest edition. A very deceptive paper...... Will there be enough number of people who score above 50 %
... to be continued
