Pangong Tso is a lake in the Himalayas situated at a height of about 4500 m (14850 ft). It is 134 km long and extends from India to Tibet. Two thirds of the length of this lake lies in the People's Republic of China. It is only 8 km wide at its broadest point. In winter, the lake freezes completely despite being salt water.

Exams

WHY DO WE MESS UP EXAMS? A year has 365 days for you to study.
After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left.
There are 50 days in the summer that is way too hot to work sothere are only 263 days left.
We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days.
If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days.
We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year.
We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days.
Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year; hence youare only left with 46 days.
Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days.
Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days; you're left with 3 days in the year to study!
Let's say you only go out for 2 days!
You are left with 1 day!But that 1 day is your birthday..........
So.....................GOOD LUCK to everyone on your exams, you’re going to need it

A riddle

A man who lives alone wakes up late at night. He feels hungry, so he goes upstairs and makes himself a sandwich, turns off the light, and goes back to bed. The next morning, he is reading the newspaper when suddenly he takes out a gun and shoots himself dead. why

Passing of Time

So its been a while since we all left school...I know I miss the routine of it, and the seeing the familiar faces..even to the point of having the responsibility to submit your work, and have someone tell you what to do and when...But now we are out in the big bad world, how are we coping? have we grown up significantly? has our group of friends changed? do you still say "we have to catch up for a coffee sometime" but it doesnt ever really happen, not on purpose, but just doesnt happen...So is the moving on from high school, a time for people to reflect on the person they have become and the freindships they hold? or is moving on from high school a time to reflect and be thankful for the era that we managed to live through, which is quiet miraculous considering what high school is these day? Just because we have survived high school does that mean the freindships we held in high school survived? And if we did not survive high school: ie; you left depressed or failed all your exams, didnt get into uni etc..do you lose contact with the world you lived in for so long? I got into uni, but deferred for a year, and now, is it becuase i deferred? i have lost almost all contact with my high school freinds? What does it all mean?
