Living the inferno

I would shoot myself then to study...

The world is beautiful place full of different kind of people. These people have different types of life.. Some of them are happy with their lives, some are not. There are few people or to be precise people with particular life who have to go through their worst dreams, have to leave there nightmares back and again..

One such particular life I know very well is a LIFE OF A STUDENT and trust me it’s no less than a living nightmare for few, especially for the lazy lot of TV  PC lovers who hate n fear the word “STUDIES”, and particularly one such  person I know better than anyone is “ME”.


WELCOME TO MY LIFE

I am a final year graduation student doing ma bachelors in commerce which is a honours course. The most part of the year which I love most passes by just roaming around the city with buddies. This part of the year which doesn’t involves much  or actually no studies is no less than heavens for people like me. No studies no books, what else can a student ask for. But soon passes by the months of rejoice and fun and here comes the month of march and clinched in its grasp comes the days of fright and dreadness.   Here come “EXAMs”.

9.00 o’clock, 3rd march…

“Tring tring”…..phone rings

(actually it’s not the tring tring, rather its ma ringtone.. but definitely tring tring sounds better..)

‘Hello’ I said in groggy n husky voice. (Yes I sleep that late.)

‘Dates are out’ came the reply.

‘What….! when….?’ suddenly I m fully awake in full control of ma senses.

‘From 22nd’ reply..

God save me.. The dates for the final university exams are out n they r commencing from 22nd march.. just two-three weeks from now..

Now let me introduce ma self.. I m Surbhit, a b.com final year student n of those kind of guys who rarely study unless less than two days for xams are left, But there were few subjects which needed to be read throughout the year ’Income tax and accounts’.. xams I feared most.

A week left to the exams.. Some how i arranged the syllabus n finally bought the books..
two days left to the first exam. The exam of accounts.

Finally I took the pain n matched the syllabus.. thankfully got the full syllabus in the book. People say you got to practice accounts throughout the year or for sure you flunk. Comes the eve of xam.. half done half left.. less than twelve hours.. means no time to sleep.. got to be awake through the night.. got to make headway getting the better of the ever alluring, super pleasurable and merry full ‘SLEEP’..

Particularly in the days of xam you come to know how joyful, attracting, luring and tempting sleep is and on the night before xam you learn its real worth n it seems as if you have been separated from the comfort of the puffy mattress and in itself soaking pillow for the ages.. The pain, the nuisance seems to be brutal and eternal n that’s when u realize “U R NO MORE IN THE DEADLY HOLD OF EXAMS… ACTUALLY U R LIVING IN THE INFERNO”

The Crucifixion

Go away... let me sleep...

The black patch commonly famed as dark circle, the queasiness, the head aches… in short the consequences and traits of exam time…

Feeling damn sleepy but can’t rest, dying to watch your favourite serial but no you can’t… no signs of solace through this passage for series of exams rather there’s a thing which manifolds the excruciating pain and the suffering of the exam I have been going through…

The “IPL”..

What else a cricket maniac like me can have a incubus of…

The suffering I have been provided by the hands of xams has a long account.. but the exact one which could match or succumb the current pain received due to IPL is the one I had was during ma higher secondary boards.. INDIA vs Pakistan 2005 world cup day night match on the eve of ma board..

Same is the pain when unable to watch ma favourite crickets smashing the ball out of the stadium due to ma university xams..

One xam goes and as I took a sigh of relief other one was right in front of ma face grinning at me..

You can’t out run it , you can’t defeat it… helplessly I just got to accept it..

that much miserable exams can make you as they made me…

As the D day arrived somehow I gained the strength left from the outwore of last night as couldn’t sleep and had to be in senses throughout the night to complete ma course but unable to do so and as only two hours left to the xam and three chapters still left… compiled all the strength left in me though nothing was and finished the course left as hasty as I could..

That was the story of ma first xam and same was in the case of xam which followed it… then was the turn of “The Prince of Darkness” as in the case of the ma subjects “THE INCOME TAX”.. Though it seems to be just a subject but it wasn’t so… I assure you it’s a daemon…It is a subject full of legal definitions given by the law under thousand of sections.. The book is around a thousand pages thick that to in the most tiny print I had ever seen.. N I wasn’t of the studious and laborious kind though was a striver…knew it was inconceivable and out of question to complete the course in just two days.. though as I said I m a striver I tried hard, really hard, gave it ma utmost… NO, No, NO… don’t take it wrong…I hate studies n will always do … I tried hard to get the important questions having maximum probability of being asked in the exams.. Somehow arranged sufficient number of questions just night before to make through ma income tax exam.. stayed up all the night, contributed n helped ma dark circles to grow darker at significant pace…. and all this crucifixion was what I received just till the half of ma xams…still the half way to go.. may god provide me the strength and lastingness to face this pain, excruciation and crucifixion left to be borne by the hands of xams still to go…
