THE EXAM COMMOTION


What is an exam?
Maybe, something that keeps reminding you that you are a student and you are supposed to study.  You just fall head over heels into it and have no escape.  What a turbulence, that moves your entire life temporarily.  It disturbs your rut schedule, spoils your entertainment plans and leaves you devastated.  Once exam arrives, it brings along a flood of worries, exam worries, preparation worries, result worries, worries of all your misfired plans and many more.

        The real Everest in a student’s life are the finicky exams. Whatever you do is just not enough and there’s always scope of improvement.  It’s a real mystery to track how it came, who planned and scheduled them and most importantly what does an examiner expects.  The longevity of exams just seems immortal and fritters you slowly.  Many also suffer from the incongruent feeling of accepting it.

The types of behaviour you get to see around this period of time are variegated and thrilling.  Most students are perturbed about what to study, either because they know everything or because everything is unconventional to them.  Others who partially know things can still find a way out.  Even if the students need a break, teachers and parents come around exasperating you to study and cajoling you to become an elite. 

            Well that’s just a prevailing idea, not my opinion.  I just love giving exams, the examination hall, the silence and peace we get there writing and expressing to the best of our knowledge without any external influence.  Every exam is like a new adventure, different from all the previous ones.  Although one cannot deny the fact that it requires extra concentration and efforts from the casual days.

The most important albeit strenuous task is to be positive and calm during exam times.  Trustingly, it is the key to successful examination planning and implementation. Exams are sine qua non and those who are continuously into this heck are undoubtedly progressing incessantly.

THE ENCHANTED HALO

Image
Weary of the day and stressed of latest challenges, I stepped out after having dinner. Lonely, just to have a self-talk and to remind myself that I shall make through this time. The little crossroad just a few meters away was all dark, due to unserviceable streetlights. Although, it wasn’t all dark, I could still see very faint shadow of mine. I took an about turn, oblivious if I really wanted to return this soon. And then, my usual admiration for the night sky drove my vision to the sky. I could still feel the chill in air after the evening rain showers. The dark sky was all cloudy with no visibility to stars, giving it a very hazy concrete grey look. It was as though I could spend my whole life gazing and admiring the moon if it could stay as long as I wished. It felt as though all my fatigue had evaporated that very instant. It was a Halo-moon (also known as Lunar Halo), something which I had neither noticed before nor known about. Well to those who are also new to this term, scie

ECLIPSED HOLI!

  What sets aside the Holi of 2024? Firstly, the festival coincided with an Eclipse. It happens when the sun, moon and earth form an alignment called syzygy and on a full moon day. Secondly, it was one of the hottest Holi day our nation saw, accredited to the El Nino and rise in global average temperature. What’s more? Well, it was hot like really hot even though the summer has just knocked on the doors and we’ve opened the doors. We’ve still not let our guest inside. My sister was sick a week ago. Suffering from seasonal transition viral, after an exhausting travel schedule and still performing her duties as board invigilator, supervisor and other mandatory duties at her school. She had to push herself hard throughout her schedules not because she isn’t used to but because there was an added contingency to deal with, her health. Even after knowing her schedules, she didn’t want to exchange her duties for the sake of clarity and the least she wanted was to take antibiotics. Alas, a

A QUIET WISDOM

We notice everything with our eyesight, but we perceive, realize and learn only with a keen insight….   I was pretty much anxious. Keeping myself from helping the little creature lying helpless on the platform, was out of my normal. While mom kept iterating from the kitchen, "Don't touch them, their mother will surely come to get them. If you touch them, she might as well abandon them.". Her concern was right whereas mine was also justified. I feared for we had seen a large snake roaming around our house a couple of times since that morning. Also, it was getting dark since dusk. I had in fact made up my mind, that if the squirrels don't reach here on time, I shall rescue the baby squirrel and give it a home. I waited from inside of my wire-mesh door with lights switched off, not to frighten away the baby squirrel's parents by my silhouette. Also, my mind kept wondering if the snake might have crawled up to the squirrel's nest and caused havoc. How else
