The exams ... THAT's who !!! That murderous, monstrous presence, that keeps pushing hapless students to the very brink of insanity. Not surprisingly, the consumption of midnight oil has already sky-rocketed and at this rate we will soon need solar power to carry us through the exhausting array of examinations .... oops, sorry about that. I realise that was a little lame, to say the least. But, when exams are around the corner, such seemingly terrific "PJ"s are very often the only outlet to our frustrations, and can therefore, be forgiven. The practice may have serious repercussions on the health of the onlookers, but for the man delivering it, there is nothing sweeter than to see countenances blackened by the audacity of the latest "onslaught".
In fact, it is rather in fashion these days, as a harmless - or rather, a RELATIVELY harmless - "stress-reliever" (when you compare it with the other "vices" that is) affording a few precious moments of joy in an otherwise mundane and exam-ridden atmosphere. Wherever there is a gathering of sorts, of exam-se-frust junta, and you happen to be an "innocent" onlooker, you are greeted by raucous laughter at the weakest of jokes, or even better, a deathly silence after an especially excruciating PJ. It is then, and only then, that you realise the true potential of "the art of PJ-cracking". Making people laugh, is fast becoming the most coveted short-cut to fame and fortune, with television shows aiming to pounce on the newest formula - laughter is the best medicine. So the next time you hear a weak imitation of a bar-girl in a phone booth, or a take on the happy and gay, Karan Johar, you'd know laughter shows are very much on the rise.
And thus, I come to the end of yet another "commercial break" in the run-up to my exams. Wish me luck !!

Rhodiola Rosea is the latest natural remedy to join the arsenal of natural anxiety and stress (effects of stress) reducers.
Rhodiola Rosea, also known as Golden Root, is a native plant of arctic Siberia. For centuries it has been used by eastern European and Asian cultures for physical endurance, work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, and to treat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system disorders.
The first recorded medicinal applications of rodia riza (renamed Rhodiola Rosea) was made by the Greek physician, Dioscorides, in 77 C.E. in 'De Materia Medica'. Rhodiola Rosea has been included in official Russian medicine since 1969.
Despite its long history, the Western world has only recently become aware of the health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea. It has come to the attention of many natural health practitioners because of studies which tested its affects on combating anxiety and stress.
Rhodiola Rosea is considered an adaptogen. This means it has an overall stabilizing effect on the body without disrupting other functions. Its ability to normalize hormones may be effective for treating depression and anxiety.
Studies of Rhodiola Rosea show that it stimulates neurotransmitters and enhances their effects on the brain. This includes the ability for the brain to process serotonin which helps the body to adapt to stress.
Since adaptogens improve the body's overall ability to handle stress, it has been studied to identify it's effects on biological, chemical and physical stress.
A study was performed to test the effects of Rhodiola Rosea when stress or effects of stress is caused by intense mental work (such as final exams). Such tests concluded that using Rhodiola Rosea improved the amount and quality of work, increasing mental clarity and reducing the effects of fatigue.
The effects of Rhodiola Rosea have also been tested on stress and anxiety from both physical and emotional sources. A report by the American Botanical Council states that "Most users find that it improves their mood, energy level, and mental clarity." They also report on a study that indicated Rhodiola Rosea could increase stress tolerance while at the same time protecting the brain and heart from the physical affects of stress.
This report included details of studies which highlight the overall health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea.
The generally recommended dose is 200-600mg/day. The active properties should be a minimum 0.8 percent salidroside and 3 percent rosavin.
It is important for consumers to know that Rhodiola may be sold using other species that do not share the properties of Rhodiola Rosea, effects of stress, or at ineffective strengths for treatment. Anyone with depression or anxiety should also check with a health professional when treating these symptoms.

Do your parents know how your name is massacred. :)
The exam experience brings back fond memories. Though a lot of people took to washing their clothers on the night before exams. But that might just have been because they had lots of dirty laundry
