"Go Library"

This is that time of the year when ...every student at LSE...just raves about library. I dunno wat the buzz was about. There were frequent thoughts that crossed my mind " Come on guys...u can study at home, why follow the herd when u can peacefully study in ur own tiny room".

Well, last nite i was too curious to see what exactly it was that attracted people to library during the exam time. Was it the sheer amount of resources (books, computers, journals.. etc etc...) or was it something else. Well, I was surprised, it wasn't the resources. It was only because of peer pressure that u are able to focus well in the library. For first 15 mins...I was having a look around. I saw many students just lost in their own world of Betas, Deltas and epsilons. A peculiar thing I observed was...as soon as someone's mind starts meandering ( well...right from awesome sushi for dinner or check out the bombshell...3rd row 4th seat from left...or any other wandering thought) one realises that there are 3000 super workoholic kids around and are going crazy scribbling some math formulae or deriving the Black Scholes. When this happens....immediately u dive back into books. So it's sheer strength of good old "PEER PRESSURE".

It worked on me too...and now I too believe the philosophy... "Go Library" this exam season.

Home Stretch .... Last 1 month

Well, in last 2 years I have thought of blogging many times to keep a log of what's happening in my life currently. But as you know, I have never been regular enuf ...apt word wud be "LAZY". I was too lazy to prioritize blogging in my schedule. But these 2 years have been an interesting journey. Well....i will document it soon. But before that in the most stressful period of my life "my exams", i intend to keep u updated with how people prepare for exams at this famous university in london.

Today is 3rd may..exactly 1 month to go for my exams. Planning to work a bit on course taught by Long Dou. Most of my friends find it very easy. They may be very good at it. But I am not. So have to struggle. Many times I have realised that u r the best judge of what you know and what u dont. So shut out those comments like " yeh to 4 din mein ho jayega" . U know ur capabilities and LIMITATIONS well. So i wud rather look into those and plan accordingly.

So Mr long dou's...course gets mornings and evenings wud be split between courses by SuiL and Gnyuh's course. Gnyuh's course is the dark horse - " CCM". Hoefsted and Trompenaar....pls be kind on me.

Last but not the least.....I am trying to keep away from facebook , ICC t20 worldcup and Skype. I am easily distracted by the magical "ping" sound...and hence i dont realise how next 3 hrs went by. So...sorry fellow, friends and country men....."pass" hone ke vande hain...ab online aana band. Exam key baad chat skype....sab pey online miloonga.

Well..rather than procrastinating more , I dive straight into studies now. Will c u tomorrow.

PS:- important...baniya is coming to take the suit. Bastard...never in his life has he called me when he doesnt need a thing. BEEP BEEP BEEP.... well writing down ill feelings certainly helps to stay calm when u have to be diplomatic. Will see how it goes....
