She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later, she killed her sister. Question: what is her motive for killing her sister?

Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.
If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered it correctly.

If you didnt answer it correctly, good for you. If you did, please let me know so I can take you off my email list, unless that would tick you off. Then Ill just be extra nice to you from now on.

Glad I did it ...once

I had my first terrifying experience in India yesterday- it was on a motorcylce. Venky asked me if I wanted to join him for a meeting that was about 10 minutes away and said he was going by bike. I hesitated at first, but then thought- What the hell! There are bikes all over the road and everyone on them acts very normally, considering it's a very common mode of transportation. I, however, was gripping onto the side-handle bars so tight, I thought I was going to actually lift the rear of the bike.

I've been on a motorcycle in the US a few times but there are a few subtle differences. For example, in the US, we have lanes and we use them. We also have stop lights and use turn signals. In India, they have lanes too, they just don't necessarily use the ones that are designated to go in a specific direction. In other words, going into the opposite lane of traffic is totally legit. Turn signals here consists of honking. If you're going to pass a car, honk. If you're going to turn, honk. Merge into traffic? Honk. You get my point. I don't know how it works, but it does. Quite well, actually. Every inch of space is used and you don't really hit the brakes until you're so close you can reach out and touch the car next to you. But like I said, it works.

I have to give major props to Venky. He is a very good driver. Even though we seemed to be going much faster than everyone else, I didn't feel the need to scream into his ear once. (Although I might have whispered "oh my god" a few times. ) He was even able to tell me about some buildings we were passing and used his arms to point at them. Even though I was trying my best to listen, I was also praying that one doesn't really need both hands to drive a motorcycle.

Anyway, I had fun. I'm glad I did. Not sure if I'll do it again, though. :)

I'm in India!!

It was a very last minute decision, but here I am, sitting in the Hyderabad office. I've only been here for about 2 hours, so so far the two things that have made the biggest impression on me are the weather (it's over 100F) and the traffic. The fact that we didn't get into several serious head-on collisions is a small miracle to me.

I really can't wait to see more of the city and the people. I'm here for almost 2 weeks so I'm sure I'll have plenty of time. But first on my "to do" list is to get some mosquito repelant and some butter chicken!!

AIESEC fix

I got my AIESEC fix this past weekend. AIESEC in Goettingen had their annual alumni weekend and it was awesome!!! It was a weekend full of AIESEC-type talks and dances. It made me realize that no matter where I am in the world, being with AIESECers makes me feel at home.
