The answer, very honestly, is 'coz I got tired of studying a couple of word lists !!
That's when I started looking for a new series .. and that's How I met your mother happened :)
Its one more of those NY-based sitcoms (after F.R.I.E.N.D.S) that I have really taken a liking for. But its the ingenuity of the narration style that is of particular note. Would love to sit down with my kids some day and tell them how I met their mother :D
Also the theme (though a tad bit cliche) ..
Boy meets girl ('Have you met Ted?' - awesome game).
Girl meets boy ('So let me guess, you must be Ted').
Boy is immediately into her. Not so much the other way around (Happens ever so often).
And then you have 22 hilarious episodes .. fun-fraught and often poignant. And at the end (of the first season) Ted finally gets Robin (at least, for the time being). In between, there were a string of rejections, other distractions, elation and dejection all at the same time. But as Ted realized time and time again "She is the one".
So, even when he went to her with the final grand gesture and it didn't quite work out .. it only made him more determined (and a little silly too .. who, on earth, does a rain-dance??!!). After all, when you really want something, the universe conspires in a strange way to get it for you.
So, strangely enough, the rain-dance worked. And so did nature's conspiracy.
This is for everyone who is in love with the idea of love ..
Watch "How I met your mother" .. its great and lots of fun too !!!
(though a little piece of advice : don't get started 9 days before your GRE .. 'coz watching 13 episodes a day and then writing a blogpost isn't the most recommended way to prepare for a test this important!!).
But then as I keep saying "There are some things in life more important than any test, the things for which you will travel great distances, write long mails, write even longer mails ;-), think endless nights, (maybe) do a rain-dance, suffer chronic heart-aches ..... all the things that you will do to get the girl of your dreams ..... all the things that will make your own wonderful version of 'How I met your mother' ".

"There are some things in life more important than any test, the things for which you will travel great distances, write long mails, write even longer mails ;-), think endless night..."

You have been on what dpc says as shaunak's syndrome for quite sometime... rather in-and-out of it for a while...
