Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

Sister: 'Nothing. But what’s wrong with admitting JEE is the toughest exam?'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

How should one handle an uninvited guest at a small, intimate wedding ceremony? Is it appropriate to ask them not to attend?

Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'

Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'

Me: 'Everyone agrees JEE is tough. It’s impressive to have such a deep understanding at a young age. But let me ask you, which do you think is tougher, getting into Google/Facebook or IIT?'

How can one learn to talk frankly?

Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'

Awkward silence

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

She stared at me for about 10-15 seconds, then went back to watching the video.

Me: 'Exactly! The same applies to Gate. When people say Gate is tough, they usually mean it’s tough for PSUs. Gate questions might be easier, but the competition is fierce due to limited seats.'

Me: 'Yes, it is,' I agreed.

Why are details for questions here on Quora so limited? I have an account here on Quora and Yahoo Answers. I like discussing different subjects.

Me: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'

Sister: 'Really? Huh! Do you know how tough it is to give exams for nearly a month? And if you don’t get over 95%, you won’t get into a good college.'

Sister (showing me a video): 'Then why is this guy talking nonsense? Everyone knows JEE is tougher.'

What does 'Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys’ mean (Ezekiel 23:20)?

Me: 'Look, if you want to get into the best DU colleges, the board exam is the toughest. If you want IIT, then JEE is the toughest. If you aim for IAS/IPS, CSE is the toughest. For PSUs or IITs for Masters, Gate is the toughest. For foreign universities, GRE/GMAT is the toughest. For AIIMS, it’s the toughest. For becoming a CA, that’s the toughest for you. Want to join the Indian Forces? NDA/CDS is the toughest. The same goes for SSC-CGL/CHSL/IBPS exams.

Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'

Me: 'So that means it's the toughest exam?'
