Here's a list of things I keep experiencing and hearing quite often. I leave the interpretation to my readers, as they are very subjective/
You are a sinner if you have not .....
- pulled all-nighters for essays
- felt serendipitous moments of intellectual jolts
- found the clicking argument of your thesis in sleep or during strage moments of a day (including the biological process of mal extraction :P)
- realized that coffee is your best friend for brainstorming
- drawn into the pull of deep thinking, while talking something else
- been blamed for going into a shell for an awakening and flying out wild after you satisfy yourself
- been awake anytime before 1 am and wake up at 2 am to jot down a new idea
- felt a strong desire to loose track of time and be lost in a space of thoughts
- craved to get critiqued to elicit and squeeze the grey matter firmly
- experienced to stay up late in library, in a hope to find yet one more journal to strengthen your reseach paper
- self-doubted yourself for an non-stimulated thoughtful action
well...social life had its own share
- seen plays at Oxford playhouse
- made it to BOPs
- dined in atleast 3 different colleges per term
- heard the famous Oxford Union debates
- met even a single celebrity or genious student
- punted across Isis
- visited London impulsively
- gone for a run aimlessly to exercise that mind
.....more later

Glad to have dropped by.
Came over from Gayathri's blog.
