Technically, I'm supposed to be studying now. Nobody asked me to, nor am I required to. But looking at my room mate vigorously taking one book after another, highlighting and making notes really makes me want to study. Of course, that this want drops dead as soon as she leaves the room is another thing.
I woke up half an hour back (early, according to university standards), telling myself I have to study. And what did I do after the routine checking of mails in the handful of mail accounts - reading blogs! I kept reading every blog in my list until IE suddenly decided to play moral police, gave an error, and shut IE down.
I took this as a cue to start studying, and opened the book, and with all earnestness, another notebook to write down. Two minutes into the book, and I decided to switch on Media Player to listen to music. And the first few songs that come up? U2's 'Trip through your wires' and Eagles, all one after another, and I'm reminded of my 70s post because of the songs. Bah, here I am, in Blogger.
Do you think I should study when I don't have to? :P
(I'm in for it if my parents chance across this post! : )

Wow, you know what Eagles are telling me now? 'Take it easy!!' :) Guess you could call this a cue. Close 'Management of Electronic Media.' Open Kazuo Ishiguro's 'Never Let Me Go.' I can get back to CS301 later, innit?

If the DONT HAVE TO literally means before exams...then the expert opinion is YES. Exam kku munnaidiyae padichchu unnakum anda subject um avamaanata erpadutaadae.

dante,
I'm no particular rock fan. Just happens that most of the English stuff I like seems to be from the yesteryears!
And Kazuo Ishiguro was really good.

sheks,
The textbook's really thin!

Harish,
Sure, I'm reading your review soon!
