The GATE Gamble

So, the thing is that GATE 2018 is knocking on my door and I’m scared about it. I’m not sure if I’ll stand upon the promise that I immaturely made by appearing for GATE 2017.

All this nonsense just to put out my thoughts. This gets irritating sometimes you know. How you want to actually do something and end up doing something else that you never even wanted to do in the first place. I guess that’s why Apple is making such profits via their systems. Just press a button to power-on the thing. And in 3 seconds, the system is up and running. There are the ico...
