Exams Are Coming!!

The 3rd sem exams are coming soon! :) The countdown has begun..Still there isn't any sort of terror or anxiety for that.. Exams at the college are not so sensational as it used to be during the school days..

In schools we knew what exams meant to us.! There wont just b lots of anxieties and mental preparedness but exam season was accompanied with many facilities being withdrawn from us.No more playings in the evening,no more cricket or football in the playground...no more hanging with friends and no more cable and TV at home...
I recall many of my friend's parents disconnected the cable connection during exams and packed the TV with newspaper... they dint want their children to stare at the 'switched off' TV as well... :P ha ha...that was really extreme!!!


Those were the times when marks meant really a lot to us...Our parents used to keep us updated about the activities of our neighboring classmates when they used  to visit their homes and found them studying.That would excite us to study more as we had to maintain the rank in the class.That time competition meant to score more than our nearest competitor... Marks weren't our milestone, Our mentality used to be like-"whatever the marks may be... It shouldn't be less than him or her" Because in those times a parent-teachers meeting was called after every exam and our answer scripts were shown together... Our parents would generally inquire about our frn's performance and then it would feel really embarrassing to discover that he/she who never scored more than us previously has done better than us this time.. :)


And in childhood,exams also meant lots of shopping...New pen,New Cardboard(the teachers aren't allowing me to keep my old cardboard because Ive scrambled many things and drawn many drawings on it over the years of my examination-hall boredom hours. :))and a New Geometry box(Not the Natraj one...I want the Stlylo Geometry box..It has a pen-pencil,glue-tube and a  big pencil sharpner)
ha ha... funny to recall those moments....
That was the real zest of examination..


It's Uncomparable with the present scenario....Today.. there is no competition,no milestone,no anxiety, no clipboard and no pen...The thrill of examination is gone.. now the graetest thrill lies in clearing out the attendance anyhow by the end of semesters.!! :) And the examinations are given with just one dream in mind..."Bas kisi tarah pass ho jaayen yaar.." :)
Ha ha ha.. Time changes...Life changes... :)
