Good Riddance

The day finally came. The last exam of my bachelors degree, and it did not disappoint. It was Principles of Environmental Studies. Most of you Anna University students are probably thinking, "Yeah, Enough Said". I was forced to use up all the creative power I had in me to complete this one. A good portion of the paper was "out of syllabus", or in simpler terms, I did not know the answers. But this would NOT deter Akhil Malhotra. This was his last exam, at least for a long time to come, and he would finish it off in S T Y L E, no matter what. And I must say, I impressed myself. I followed the sound advice of my good friend, Amrit Swarup. "Four sides MAX per answer, Three sides MIN" he said. With these parameters set in my mind, the words kept flowing, and I actually completed the paper satisfied with myself.

Enough said about exams. They are history now. What next. Oh Yeah, its time to prepare for them interviews. Time to dig into Cormen, K&R, etc. Here are some links I think are worth a look, if you're a CS fresher preparing for an interview too.
