Winter begins on the 3rd sunday of novemeber ...

The whole year round i never feel cold, running around the house without even a fulls-sleeves shirt or sweater, let alone woolens. But come the 3rd sunday of Novemeber and there's always a winter chill, making you want to run to the water closet 3 times in the span of 3 hours ...

Yup, an annual ritual for many, the CAT exam not only brings depair for a quarter million students (-1500 ofcourse), but for me its always the case of no clothes are warm enough on this day. You hit the roads at 9 in the morning and all you can think is brrrr - couldn't it have started after noon, warm and sunny.

You enter the examination hall and all you can think is where the hell is the washroom. Queen's "Under Pressure" is buzzing through your systems. You start writing the paper and all you think is Bono crooning "Hold On" (AKA damn - when will this end)

Head's spinning, eyes watering, stomach churning - it is definitely not a good feeling to undergo. Add to that the ever tormentous time. Its always short for a question, always long for the agony. Now ok, this is no excuse to give if i genuinely screw my paper, but yeah, it is a decent excuse anyway !!

And for the first time in months, i slept with my fan switched off ...
