Hey Manu.. is it the basic nature of the fish? yea, i'm also one of them and like you, has always wished that "if" there was such an option.

i am going thru a similar phase now, i really hope that an aptitude test solves all that. really liked the end about all of the above...just fiction or does it bear any autobiographical touch?

aah, a tangible post! r u kidding me? Life is never multiple choice! It is one of those looong subjective papers on needs to write on given a certain period of time :)thats why aptitude tests suck. no wonder JJ abolished the CEE.
