Most of these are impulse buys but becomes needs after a certain point.

Reward Yourself (Or Console Yourself) With After Exam Results

Exam results are out. Usually they divide up people into two groups. Those that are so elated that they run around showing off and stuffing mithais in the faces of everyone they come across, and those that lock themselves in the bathroom crying because they're too afraid that if they go out, they'll have their face stuffed with mithais. Both groups of people have something in common; they have a big emotional void to fill. For the losers, it's obvious why, but winners have voids too. All that hard work, nights of no sleep and social life deprivation for what? Here are a few gadgets that either group of folk could indulge their enlarged or broken egos in, as the case may be.

 

For the tamer audio junkies: Sennheiser HD800

How better to drown out the world

These headphones are to audio junkies what bling-ed out engagement rings are to girls. These headphones are so fancy you use them maybe a few times a year, while drinking green tea with your pinky sticking out. They're so fancy that you need to build a special rack for them which is almost as expensive as the headphones themselves. If you think about it this way, if you've gotten 100% of marks, all the money you used to spend on tuitions will be yours to buy the headphones. If you got less (and are most likely applying to DPU), you're not going to college, boss. Get headphones instead.

 

For the outdoors people: Predator suit

 I am flunkie, hear me zap and destroy

The fact that Predator Suits R Us is not a company yet is a travesty. Everyone loves predator suits, not AvP but from Predator 1 with working shoulder mounted laser, thermal vision, cloak mode, the works. For the winners, your predator suits are going to save you from the fawning family members who suddenly take an interest in you because they just found out you have brains and will eventually make a ton of money. For the flunkies, you have to eliminate the 100 odd people ahead of you for the job you want somehow right? Why not do it in style?
