We are the nocturnal animals

Some four years back I have never stayed awake after 11 in the night. Now, I don’t get any sleep till it is 1 a.m. What is the reason for this change ? Thanks to our own Anna University and its stupid evaluation system because of which the no of marks you score is complex equation based on probability. It is easier to predict whether you will win “Bhutan Lottery” than to predict the marks you will score in the exams (you can sometimes succeed with the first but never with the second). With such a difficult task lying ahead we were always running against time preparing for the exams, so slogging in the night became a norm (I don’t mean to say that I did that….. I watch T.V or read a book).

You may ask .. why do you stay awake late now ?? One of our friends in a very good orator, we listen to his enlightening speech everyday ( :0! great orators please forgive me) By ten in the night he starts talking, and my god what does he talk !! The way he talks one would probably think he is drunk big time, but he hasn’t. Throw one more guy into the ring( the one with the “stylish” hairstyle !! he claims it is) you’ve got the perfect entertainment. One famous speech of his is on “Intellectual capital”. I guess readers will be interested in listening to his speech. He goes live everyday at 10pm on 10c- Mandalay point TV
