Been away for a while. Was attending to some exams.
I wonder if everyone is like that but I am hard coded with a fear for examinations. Maybe from the childhood days when the surrounding used to by haunted during the exam days. Everyone used to be so sensitive to us kids wasting any single moment on something not meant for scoring marks in exams. Suddenly the time used to become so important for all the poor kids. All eyes on us!
And then there used to be those padhaakoos (specky book worms) in the colony that served as a catalyst to engage our parents against us. "See HE has been studien since monin, HIS mom says HEs haven't even eaten or bathed!". I hope someone out there is relating to this?
Blah! I would say poor chap has only 10% of my IQ and has to work 10 times harder. Attend more coaching sessions and buy more books to get the concepts right (or cram them right).
Eventually, all those padhaakoos scored a couple of percents more than me. That's all. They were only good enough to get my parents charging at me with study-more-verbs. Now most of them leading lives similar to mine. Well, some are doing better too. :-)
But this continuous conditioning year after year four times a year or more was enough to have me worry even now. Crazy isn't it! As a reflex, suspended most recreation. But today I walked a free man from the exam center and here I am - connecting again.
What else? Yeah! a small update. I turned 100% veg. No more eggs! More on the 'why' later. I need to relax a lot now. Watch movies, TV,do random stuph, read books, attend to pending projects and so on.
Ciao!
