    exactly] here in the us we have wider roads than this highway in front of our house. see the size of the container, the road and height of the bridge. where did the engineer who built this bridge passed the cet. did he pay bribe to pass the exam? here engineers in jpl laboratory are driving rover on mars sitting here and they are thinking about writing cet in bangalore, but if they see this they will cancel their plan. what about their taxes in india if they write cet exam. i am totally confused.
