NPV is zero

NPV bole to Net Present Value. Basic funda of Finance.
So I had my last 2nd term end term paper today. It was finance (no marks for guessing :o)). Unlike the other days, today we had just one exam (because only one was left...hahahaha). So yesterday, after farting for 2.5 hours in the marketing paper, I came back and chilled out (watched Bleach; its a japanese action cartoon..............Bankai. :o) Dont ask me to explain that. Interested parties may check out Wikipedia). We started our group studies from 7. I still hadnt read the call n put options chapter. Maine socha thoda hi to time lagega revision mein. Baad mein padh loonga. By 2:30 AM, was totally confused and fundas were all shaken up. Decided have to study alone. That coz when i am goin slow, i dont want to slow down the group. Neway, understanding n grasping power was also goin down by the hour. So i came to my room, puffed off a coupla ciggies, n thought "I need a clear mind to understand these things. Let me lie down for sometime n then i will get up in half n hour n then study till morning." So i lied down. Put 4 alarms for 4 AM. Asked kachchi to wake me up at 4 (just in case). So i lied down. I could not concentrate on sleeping or resting. So i began to think of futures n forwards (finance). Actually understood a few things. So i thought "Let me think bout these things. Maybe i can resolve a few of these confusions before i get out of bed".

That was the mistake. I never realized when i fell asleep. N in that stage between half awakedness and half sleep, i was thinking to myself "Arre mai to fin hi padh raha hoon".

Woke up morning 8:10. But then it was too late. N the kind of g***d maraye exam attitude had taken over. So i went to give the paper.
It was tougher, or so people said. I hadnt studied well. Keeping that fact in mind, i think it went well. But lets see :o)

11 AM. Exam over. 2nd term over. 1/3rd manager ban gaya :o) Went for pizza (now i know why everyone becomes fat here :o)) and coffee.

Now blogging. abhi 2 peg Absolut vodka maarunga (50% alchohol by volume...or maybe by weight...kya farak padta hai :o)) and then, Guwahati, here i come.

mai aaya, mai aaya.............................aaajaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've experienced that in college. I would be sleeping while my brain would be subconsciously convincing me that I'm actually revising really hard to grasp funda's and making sense out of it. :)

I've even come up with totally sound and rational proofs or explanations to even NP problems while sleeping only to forget what they were after waking up :D...

Relieved that others also have the same problem. Actually you are the first person other than me who's actually described it to me.

Anyway Cheers on 1/3rd Management!

Enjoy ur time in Guwahati.

Have you read "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman" ? Feynman analyzes (for kicks) the process of how one falls asleep..all the things that go on in your mind, how the dreams start appearing... a rather interesting, albeit a funny read.

I hope sleep-therapy works for you. :) And enjoy madi at home! I dont think its just the pizzas in college that tend to make u fat, it might be the food at home...just my 2 cents ;)
