GRE, GMAT Prep stuff You've arrived at the page that gives you a simple, efficient step-by-step guide to getting a great GMAT or GRE score Where do I start? bharathwaj msbharathwaj@gmail.com Isn't it the question that lingers in everyone's mind, when we try to start something, or when we want to do something, where do I start? A very fair question frankly. So what could be the starting point for all this GRE, GMAT or whatever that one wants to pursue. If I were a marketing person I would have said that you have reached some sort of a starting point (which is nothing but this forum), but deeply there is something more. What is it? Well the starting point is none other than YOU!

Of course, you will wondering what exactly is been conveyed here, but actually it is the starting point. To be more clear, whenever something needs to be done, its not your skill that is going to help, not how much knowledge that have; all that is necessary, but there is something else which is primary in achieving whatever we want to achieve. And that is a BURNING DESIRE!. Why do I need it? Lets face a very practical example. There was a scientist named Thomas Alva Edison, famous for his electrical bulb invention and thousands of patents that followed it. Do you know exactly how many times he had to conduct the experiment to get that bulb glowing, not 1 nort 10 not 100 not 1000 but more than 10,000! Such an inspirational story. Many say its perserverance, determination, blah blah blah and all the crap! But actually it was a BURNING DESIRE! He wanted to make that bulb glow no matter what! He was doing a penance in his life. He wanted it he had it.
You might ask me how this BURNING DESIRE is going to help you in the course of you GRE, GMAT undertaking. There are lot of instances where we will fall for other’s NEGATIVE INFLUENCE. For example, you might be the dumbest guy on earth (no problem dude), so some might say that GRE, GMAT is “out of the question” for you. But let me be frank, none of the guys who make it to TOP notch universities are born geniuses. We learn by making mistakes, the biggest failure is not attempting to make them. So if you have this BURNING DESIRE, you will say to yourself, “Yes I am dumb. Yes I don’t know a lot that needs to be done, but if I take a small step everyday, I am sure I can reach”. This is called FAITH with the DESIRE. These are the two components that makes a person successful. Not your math Skills nor your Vocabulary. A mere repetition to yourself everyday “Every day in every way I am getting better and better” will make you feel better, will give you the confidence to do better.

This is a way of doing a penence. Keep that FIRE of DESIRE glowing to do develop keep speaking to yourself. That you can do well. You can’t afford to lose FAITH in your self. That my friends is the greatest asset. Keep dreaming and keep achieving and keep BELIEVING. Start fueling the FIRE of DESIRE and you will see your self transformed.

Saluting the Socratic Couples of the month

2010-09-18T23:23:00.004+05:30

There is a famous saying in tamil

“காக்கைக்கும் தன் குஞ்சு பொன் குஞ்சு”
“Even a crow can cherish its own baby”

Un celebrated bird like a crow (not a mammal) can also cherish its own baby. The hormone oxytocin is the one which creates the binding feeling in mammals ie., in humans as well. All animals display this phenomenon.
What makes human different is the ability to cherish others children or any children as their own.

But few excel in displaying compassion like this. A couple in choolaimedu, Mrs. Latha and her husband, as a team run a learning center taking care of teaching special children.
We feel proud to say that our Video based learning methods is strengthening the hands of such selfless people.

One more couple running a learning center in mylapore is known for selflessness and compassion. Not all moms can be mothers.. Mothers are those who can care any children. This mother takes care of some special children which even some moms cannot.

The danger of Lead vessels

2010-08-30T00:02:00.001+05:30

Cooking in Brass vessels is poisonous. Therefore the vessels made out of Brass is coated with Lead (soldering metal) and used for cooking in many schools and in some hotels.

Hardly do they know the consequence of Lead.

The main reason for using this instead of stainless steel vessel is economics. The brass vessel has greater resale value than the stainless steel vessels.

Here are some truths behind the dangerous metal and a silent killer of our society.

Lead in blood is whopping high and is the main reason behind many educational short comings.

Please help stop Lead poisoning in our community.
