The moment when the time runs out !!

A flood of sweat effused through my forehead tissues as I turned my neck towards the whole classroom as everyone seemed to be having a positive expression with the bundle of nerves on their wrist gasping to write everything they could from their brain onto the ink onto the paper...

I knew I shouldn’t be wasting my time for I had very meager things to write on to this paper...and I should be thinking of answers rather than for the last one month I had studied with a fierce drive and with a ambition that i would clear this maths subject anyway... If I didn’t I knew the aftermath- I will have to sit home for the whole one year and that would be the worst nightmare I could think of... I had laid myself with so many expectations..

Only one hour left and I had to carve out my best... Whatever my intuition initially had assured me of the definite questions I knew it had fooled me... It was just a fake voice from inside...

Fifteen minutes left and I had still one more attempt left to breathe out the answer...I was struggling to answer the last question that would touch my attempt to 50 and I needed it desperately to pass.. Still no guarantee but at least I will have hope... I was on the same question for the last 45 minutes..

Only one minute left and I tried as hard as I could to recollect the formulae thinking that at least it would fetch me some marks... But , I was just one minute away from the exam end time...I hurried up so quickly that I messed up the formulae at the back of the paper trying to recollect in rough column..

The bell rung like a ambulance siren that was enough to silence my heart..But I had to focus.. “x=...2y*cosx/z something something!!” The supervisor had started to swiftly move around the benches to collect the paper... My heart beat rated at the speed it would have never and as the formula clicked my brain the supervisor was just a few benches away... I had to move my fingers fast... My palm muscles battled to grip the pain as I wrote down half the formula and my sweat drop accrued towards the formula all spreading the blotted gel ink and dissolving it away..

I left it and went for the another line to create a last hope of passing this paper and before I could touch down the paper the supervisor started snatching away the answer sheet as I held my stand begging to please let me write the answer ... And I pulled the answer sheet with so much of force that I tore away the bed sheet!!

With my blurry teary eyes I could see my mom sitting beside me as she constantly inquired what happened... She had guessed it was a nightmare... “See how much you are sweating!!”she said with her soft voice...

I stood and sat on the bed with sweaty brows ... and I was relieved it was just a dream. I had no history of any failed papers so why did I see this dream?? I didn’t know... I had my first paper today... But I get night mares like this :D

But I was glad I was out of this one hell of roller-coaster ride!!

To be or not to be

“Oh my God!!” Was the silent fumble from my mouth with my facial expressions hidden underneath as I looked across the screen of my laptop .I was half way through the movie “Schindler’s List ” . One of the most vicious dictatorships carried out by Nazis upon the Jews, I felt a moment of insecurity around me for an instance when the Nazi soldiers were ordered to forcefully vacant the homes of glorified Jews and throw them on streets. They executed them with a bullet in their head, raped women and hurt children at their own will and entertainment. It was a life made hell for them. They were snatched of all riches and were thrown to live into the abandoned room also dwelt by dozens of other Jews at one place. They were enforced slavery and all that they had to do was perspire blood all the day in factory and if they didn’t as per their expectations they were assassinated. The brightest of the bright talented Jews had lost their life ambi

I had a friend whom I seem to meet almost regularly during travel to college. I would alight Karjat and he would travel to Lonavla. With this same thing happening over almost a year, we had grown into close friends. At first we used to talk about the weather and how most of the pune crowd is egoistic during travel, who wouldn’t lend their seat to us despite their spine aching from rubbing their butt against the seats. What I felt good about him was that he was always smiling and seemed to carry off his burden of hectic schedule with humor. Slowly we had deeper topics to discuss about and we almost forgot about the seats we had to catch and how sunny it was outside. We started discussing about our friends and personal life. He had turned into a best friend. One day my face didn’t seem to budge and I wasn’t talking much. The day before today, I had failed my exams  and had lost a competition which was backed by partiality. In the morning I had a fight with mom and had almos

The funny thing about exam results..

          Sipping tea in college canteen with beloved friends and fireworking joke that would crack a smile on their face… this can be one of the best moment one can spend during college days not until someone calls you and shouts from the other side “ RESULTS ARE OUT!!”                      The moment takes a twist and its takes no time to pull you back into pool of tension…                       All six of us blasted from our sits and sprinted to the top floor of our college where our result was on!!                      With heavy pumping of my breath I pondered over my result on notice board..Everyone had a falling face.. Result wasn’t that good.. I was highly disappointed to see my steady percentage.. 57 !!! They never changed right from my first year.. I had hoped for a better score..                         I settled down and isolated myself from the crowd because the marks needled me again…I was losing my ever smiling face..                         Few minutes passed as I ga
