everytime you feel like watching T.V., look at it like this.
ok amount of T.V. for next 12 months and some dingy college with ok future.
no T.V. for next 12 months, and a top-in-line college, with all the movies and action in the world that you want, and a brilliant life ahead.
TAKE YOUR PICK! i let go of television while i was preparing of JEE because im a die-hard couch-potato. 2 years i shunned it from my life. today i watch it 4 hours a day after coming back from office on the biggest LCD one can find in town. doesnt that sound like a nice exchange for sheer few months of television ban? just decide today and give it up! thats it. this is the time to avoid all distractions - movies, talks of magazines, novels, video games, it can all wait. your exam prep cant.
all the best
