'Exam' is another word that makes me shiver,sweat, feel giddy and see red, apart from of course the word "LIZARD".
This Saturday was my Law exam and I stayed up all night to study law... Bhejey mein ek bhi law nahi ghuss raha tha... Mads, Chitwan... are you listening?? Law Sucks Yaaron!!
Mera track record hain: If I don't cry on my exam-day, I don't score well. Every time something happens that makes me sob sob... and I score well... hehehehe....So, keeping up with the record... now when I am a responsible grown-up, I cried yet again on the day of my exam... coz I had a fight with Sunny... :(
I almost decided I would not give my exam. But then, I pushed myself a bit and I went to the centre. Damn! I am so nervous on my exam day every time... abhi itney saal ho gaye fir bhi.... :( I breathed heavily while climbing up the stairs (yeah! I know my weight is the culprit, but on an exam-day its all abt nervousness)... and same was my state while climbing down.Damn! I was sweating so badly(Courtesy : 44 degrees in Delhi and my tension) that I rushed to my car, put on the AC on high power mode and gulped down a liter of water in one go.
I kept telling myself... "Ho gaya yaar... Law ka paper paas ho gaya" and it took me around 15 mins to sober down a bit. Nautanki ek dum! Sahi Mein. :D Now I feel like laughing at it but no use, coz I know this Saturday when I am off for my next exam.. I will be in the same state... :D
I donno what is it about exams... I have been giving exams for past 24 years to be precise. When I was two and a half years old, I sat for a Nursery Entrance exam and the trend of exams continued every year. Every year Mom would say "Bas beta iss saal mehnat kar lo... next year se masti karna"... Life guzar gayi woh next year nahi aaya, yaar...huh!
I thought once I wud pass my class 12th exams, life wud be simpler... Aha! nopes, it was not. Then started the series of Entrance exams for various engineering colleges and tests in coachings. So the torture of exams did not stop anywhere. Finally, Finally... I made it to an Engineering college... and told myself "Sigh! I hope its going to be simpler now". I was really stupid...wasn't I??
Anyways, so started the Mechanics, Chemistry and Maths harassment.... and later loads of HIGH-VOLTAGE drama continued for next four years.Chalo ji, I thought "Ab koi exam nahi"... toh ji, job ke liye exam do.. Diya... woh bhi diya...
Got thru Satyam... started my training... par wahan bhi qualifier exams...!! By god!! Maa-kasam.. In short... band bajaa di exams ney...
I convinced myself that there'll be no more exams but then as they say "Apney pair pe de zor se KULHAADI maar di". I enrolled for Post Graduation in Mass Communication and Journalism. OMG, rabb kisi ke saath itna buraa na karey.I had to write 8 papers in a day, from morning 9 till 6:30 pm with a break of 1 hour. Damn! my right arm froze for a week. :( But, I scored well. Balley-Balley. Offo! Balley balley ka ek smiley toh hona hi chahiye...huh!
Everyone thought my love-hate relationship with exams would end...but nopes, I enrolled for lots of Software Product Exams... (God knows yeh ideas mujhey aatey kahaan se hain??)...
Now, Mom was sure I had no plans to do anything further but I shocked everyone (including ME) by enrolling for a MBA course and here I am, yet again, writing exams :(
Every Friday nite, Mom scolds me... and tells me in Punjabi "Ki Vakhta paa ke baih gayi hain?" which means "What trouble you have got urself into?"... LOL
Can't help it... Another exam on the way and I am nervous... :( :(
Arey! Suno... kya tumhey bhi darr lagta hain exams sey?? Do you also get tense wense during your exam-time?? Hain!!
