Perfect Studying Environment a?You bet.

Imagine a Final year Student of BBM with the aggregate percentage just touching 80s and the scenario that'd prevail during Her Final Semester exams.
What do you see? A bespectacled , Arjun-ly Focussed looking nerd sitting in one corner of the room amidst a Sea of books, Reference material, notepads, pens,milk, and other cornucopia typical of exams in a house characterized by quietude and a sombre air....right??

Wrong....( apart from the bespectacled part) This is the typical scenario during my exams...
Im spread out in my Cosy bed, with a laptop on my lap checking mail, chatting, reading random blogs about increasing disbelief in western medicine, amidst a throbbing head and runny nose , through the audible-extremities of a 10yr old relative, A couple of newly-adopted Pet-dogs ,the incessant sound of "chaai chaai' associated with cartoons on the 112+ Tv channels and my utmost intolerance towards Bangalore university text books and its authors...

So here's what happened, MY final exam start morro ( and assumption is i haven't studied before) and my brother decides to open a company just before that ( last time i had exams,he decided to marry)the Inauguration ceremony and influx of relatives ensues. There's constant Catching-up-tale-telling-utensil-clashing-Ginger-grinding noise contributed by 12+ inhabitants in the house and tantrums of the earlier mentioned 10yr old who just wouldnt quit watching Nickelodeon how much ever I hate the "purrrr..purrrr..parman aa gaya" sound reverberating in the house.( why,just WHY the cartoon dubbing artists cant speak in normal voice?). I need to check on my bitches ( No offense, i mean my female dogs) every ten mins to see where they have peed/pooped and clean it so that i dont end up getting my feet smeared in the gooey stuff, oh and the fact they're so adorable and one wants to cuddle them all the time, is hardly help. Having a laptop by your side with a wi-fi- connection , and even worse an iphone which 'd make sure you're wired to the net when the laptop's shut-down and beep every time a mail from a "UK lottery" informing me about the " 10 million pound sweepstakes I've won or the various "major MNC recruiting" mails doesnt help.Neither does the amazing Bangalore weather in early June with beautiful rains and winds blowing straight into your room ( aah the cancerian in me sighs)
Add to that, gems like these in my revered BU text book.(quoting verbatim i swear)

*on talking about salesmen and their qualities- " each of us has divine in his heart chamber. divine grace and touch can make wonders. all of us have that golden chain. a common consciousness enlightening enliving our body "(?!@#?!@#$%)

* Consumer behaviour and causes of wants n needs- " dreaming leads to arousal"( True but not related!)
*" In India there is a 'fashion' of Joint families"( Really?then we must be soo damn outdated!)
*" Hindustan Motors RECENTLY released their contessa" ( yeah and Gandhiji recently went on Dandi March)

and so go my Final exams( Perhaps The last I'll ever be writing)
Mr Paolo Coehlo, when you really don't want to study, the universe will conspire to make sure You don't.

Coffee here i come,i need you tonight .lots of you.

'dreaming leads to arousal'
Bangalore Uni rocks!!

The universe conspiring bit sn't all to coelho. Our very own srk has this dialogue in OSO. 'Kehte hain agar kissi cheez ko dil se chaho, to poori kaaynaat tume usse milaane mein jut jaati hai'..

something like that!!
