My dreams already do.

Goddess!

Bollywood's viewership is 3.8 billion vs Hollywood's 3.2 billion.

Former Miss World, bollywood queen, and my current heartthrob Aishwarya Rai was featured on 60 mins as the world's most beautiful woman and is among the cast in the next Hollywood James Bond flick.

i subscribed to ZeeTV just so I could ogle those Indian hotties.

I love Aishwarya Rai.. SO hot.

In India, we aspiring graduate students spent marathon sessions memorizing vocabulary words that we never used again after taking the test. It was quite a joke, really. It favors those with the wherewithal to engage in this mindless brain-stuffing, and disadvantages those who do have the skills to read critically and find meaning, but don't memorize all those esoteric (= a good example itself!) words.

The next time you speak about Indians, do a favour, don't generalise, okay?

I'm an Indian, and five years back, I did give the SAT's, that's SAT I and SAT II. My preparation for SAT II- Writing (which, IMHO, is the toughest it can get for verbal tests at pre-UG levels, although, admittedly, it doesn't test verbal reasoning, but writing skills) was as follows:-
a) Read up on a test prep book,
b) Practise with a couple of old papers,
c)That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Actually, no, that's a lie. I did something else.

Heck, it's been five years now, the world was much younger then; yes, I spent two hours doing something else that evening before the test. You see, I couldnt bear the excitement and, when no one was around, decided to check out this new-fangled 'internet' thing that my dad and I somehow installed on our family PC.

It was a fascinating experience; there were many new things to learn. I learnt that, for instance, a certain low-profile website, offered email for virtually nothing! That, you could get all the news you want, based on your preferences, delivered to your very own inbox, again, free of cost!. I even learnt that a certain lady could adorn my wallpaper and that, it might start getting itchy in your pants if you stare at her picture for a while....

Let's just say that I think I did well for my 770 in SAT II Writing.
