And another bites the dust...

1st ten questions for 10 marks in today's IOS objectives:
Define the following under the General Clauses Act:
  1. Will
  2. Union Territory
  3. Rule
  4. Registered
  5. Swear
  6. Son
  7. Oath
  8. Person
  9. Local Authority
  10. Official Gazette
Are you serious??? There go 10 marks..

Other wonderful questions include fill in the blanks such as:
Reddendo Singula _______ (with 4 options)
Expressio unius _________ alterius (with 4 options)

Topics to be studies according to the Syllabus include:
Reddendo Singula Singulis
Expressio unius expressio alterius

Really...this is a new low in paper setting laziness, even for the Mumbai University. So much for making us analytical machines geared up for a career in law. If I can mug 62 definitions under the G.Clauses Act and read the syllabus, I've got 12 marks in a final year law paper.

My resolve is only stronger now.

The paper was easy otherwise and went better than CrPC did. Things I must do now which I did today:
1. Don't have a bath
2. Wear my Khakis, not my jeans
3. Eat Bun-Amul and drink Cold Coffee before leaving
4. Try not to curse the cabbies during the bike ride
5. Wear non-collared shirts
6. Carry iPod in bag

That and some studying ought to do it.

Off to get some sleep. Only managed about 2.5 hrs last night - 3:30-6:00. Not ideal...need to advance it.
