You biased, you! Link to http://netbsd.org/ and http://openbsd.org/ as well (If nothing more). BSD ain't freebsd.

The "Emory" comes from the school I wanted to get into. The "Hopeful" comes from the school I was hopeful to get into. Talk about creative!

"BCC" is the acronym for the primary school I went to. "145" is my class number. Not that creative!

:D GMATClub is fun! I've been using this nick solidcolor on several forums, but have never explained about it. Solidcolor, simply a strong visual effect. Something to talk about myself too, kinda single-threaded, whole-hearted, one and only. Moreover, it's something about Zen and peace of mind. Well not quite, say when you look into a solid colored pane, you either find a perfect peace of mind, calmness and quietness, or you will go mad for its boredom.

 Talking about sublimal marketing, I should have printed an "ADMIT NC" watermark on all my essay pages. That would have taken care of HBS and MIT. Too late now  dosa_don wrote: I am not at fault if my subliminal marketing strategy is generating revenue for the Indian Dosa industry

In Turkey, people call employees of ministry of finance as "maliyeci" no matter he is a clerk in a tax office or he is undersecretary. "Maliye" means "public finance", "ci" means "er", i.e. it means "public financer"

Sanjuro is a movie directed by Akira Kurosawa. I usually am at loss of words to describe Akira Kurosawa. Most adjectives do injustice to what he means to cinema and Japanese culture. (I am not Japanese) Though I don't consider Sanjuro as one of his greatest creations, the role played by Mifune is quite memorable and stylish. The movie is a good satire and fun to watch. The picture attached is also my profile photo in facebook. lol.. now you know who I am.

Mine is probably pretty self explanatory...I am married to Jon Stewart. Not when we're awake of course. Just for those 6 or so hours when I drift off to dreamland. When we're awake, he is married to a nice lady and lives in multiple million dollar homes and I live alone with my dog in Brooklyn...so basically, we're both doing pretty well. Honestly, I picked it on a whim. I was tired of all of my other online handles and in a lot of ways, my chances of getting into the MBA program I want are about as good as my chances of marrying Mr. Stewart. But it doesn't mean I can't try...to have both of my dreams come true
