BEFORE THE EXAM



It's finally here. The exam. Yes, it is. No you are not dreaming. Semester ending has come.

This is what I say to myself in the exam mornings while waking up. In my life, sleep and lust makes no difference. Both makes me do wrong things at the wrong time only to realize it later that it shouldn't have happened at the first place. The latter one's under control but the sleep is too adamant to make me leave my bed.

BED- It's just an exam, love.
ME- Which is enough to f*** up my life.
BED- You will leave me for something that happens only once a semester(EXAMS) ?
ME- Trust me love. I will make up to you soon as the exam gets over. Imagine, whole day just you, me and the pillow.
BED-What if you forget me?
ME- Never in my life ever.
BED- It's our last morning. Make it worth it. Snooze that b**** for another 10 minutes.
ME- Bout time...

I was just romancing with my bed when a kick on my ass got me back to reality. Of-course, it was mom. She is more worried about exams than anyone else. Like no road-side foods for the coming few weeks, no internet connection, no friends, no life, nothing etc. I need to pass this exam with some good percentage in order to get a hot wife (BACK-SPACING...) in order to get a good job. I know i have done nothing enough for this exam to pass and i may end up failing but wait...who's complaining? I have my friends for company. They are not Einstein to pass this exam either. But what if they pass somehow? DAMN!!! I better study for myself. I reached for my books. Why are they so lengthy? Huh...Maybe the font. Shit no. It is lengthy indeed. God help the needy , let's start...


For the next few hours, I was the most studious guy in the room.
The room was empty, But I was competing against myself. See that's how i motivate myself during stress (CHEAP ENOUGH). I had still this serious mode on when my phone blinked. It was the boring good morning and all the best messages in some college whatsapp group. I tried to ignore it but then decided to take a 10 minute study break.

Few hours later, thanks to my low phone battery, I remembered that I have an exam to clear. I logged out and went back to study. I was getting nothing. The derivations, calculation steps, postulates all of them were getting beyond my reach. Nothing seemed like normal. I was getting panic attacks. I checked on my friend to see what he was upto. "Dude, I am just getting started." was what I was expecting from him to say. A student of his caliber always have answers like this for this situation.

"Dude, I am almost done." he said. What? when did he start ? He was all around me throughout the semester and now in times of exam, he says he is almost done! Hell with done. I will show him who is the last minute topper. Time to hit the books again but this time with double determination.

(AFTER SOME HOURS)....
Only 12 hours left for exam and I am yet to finish 50% of the syllabus. Not even sure about the other 50% that I have prepared for. Why this Game of Thrones airs for 1 hour and not 30 mins. I could have studied in that time. Why I wasted 30 minutes a day, swiping right and left despite knowing that girls are only into toppers and guitarists. Maybe I should stop this blame game and confess that it's only me who is responsible for this. I was cursing myself for wasting so much of time on games and T.V.

Edison said one exam can't decide his future and he still went on to became one of the most talked-about people in the field of science. Maybe, the same thing implies to me too. Hell Yeah. That's the motivation I needed. One exam really can't judge my future. I have another semester to make-up. Can I manage it? Yes, I can. And yes I will. Hell with exams. This distraction just can't let me disturb my schedule. I have a big match coming up anyways. United is playing Liverpool tonight and I really can't afford to miss that, Sorry exams but happiness has always been my priority. I will manage to pass tomorrow somehow.


DISCLAIMER- THE ABOVE STUNTS ARE PERFORMED BY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS. READERS ARE ADVISED NOT TO TRY THIS AT HOME, SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE. EXAMS ARE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT FOR YOUR FUTURE THAN ANY GAME OR T.V SERIES.
AND YES, HE WAS EDISON. AND YOU ARE JUST A STUDENT. DON'T GET TOO MOTIVATED ON SUCH STUFFS. ALL THE BEST ANYWAYS...

I UNDER-RATED HER

Yes, I under-rated her. Of all the things I expected her to do for me, she couldn’t manage to get some of them right which was enough to piss me off. I took her annoyance in the form of offence and felt proud about how much smarter I am than her, courtesy of all the sacrifices she went through to give me more than what I deserved. She always helped me get through the tough times. If not by lending a hand but being my emotional support. I might have made a greater equation with some of my best friends but when life gave me the toughest of the situations, she was the one who came to my mind first. I had reached to an age where I always had an answer for her question by discounting the fact that her point was not to conquer the situation but to make me teach a lesson out of it. Simply, I ignored her and that explains my arrogance. Will it count as a co-incidence if every morning, in order to get me the best toast, she ate the burnt one in the process?   And I would s

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

It was the day. She was returning to the city after two long years from the states, we school friends had organized a reunion for her. Things did change quite a bit for her. Good dressing sense, more classified personality from before and yeah, that accent. Nobody was eager enough than me for her to come. Five years of schooling together but I never told anyone about my feelings for her. Never after the moment when she once punned on me that I was more like a brother to her. Instagram-proof that she is dating back in the US and was pretty much committed to her guy.   Didn’t affect me much. I have been used to these pain ever since she left us. It was just that one-sided love which kept me thinking about her more often. As I was talking about her improved dressing sense, she lightened that already enlightened evening with a red backless dress she wore.   Damn, am I the only one who fell for these girl?   She came in and started hugging all of her friends. I was standing

THE UNEXPECTED CLIENT (Part-1: The Visit)

I checked my watch. It was quarter past 5 and I was ready to call it a day. It has been hectic than usual. Not that therapists have any particular season of clients coming up a lot, but affording a breath for myself seemed a tough job that day. I picked up all my stuffs and was about to leave when I heard a knock on door. “Are you Dr Wills?” the person enquired. “Yes I am. And you are?” I asked him.               “Your client for…I don’t know how long.” “Look sir, I don’t think if I am left with any appointment for today so I would really appreciate if you can…” “Hasn’t the hippocratic oath been in your practice lately? Because I can clearly see you breaking it.” He interrupted subtly. People over here never talk to me like that. I have no pride for the profession I am known for but dealing an absolute deadpan was not how I expected to end my day. What sort of depression can he be into? I thought of letting go of his behaviour and sit with him for a session. The fami
