'Holi'days!

Howdy people! Exams are over for most of us (if not, don't worry, they will), and half of our time is spent thinking what to do in this break. Some prefer watching movies, but then you remember you have to finish that book, after which it strikes you that you haven't completed the one game you wanted to finish on your tab or anything.

When too much of fun fills up your schedule and swallows it whole and bites it with its sharp teeth, you feel a pang of guilt. Just that small pinch of an idea inside your brain where you hesitate that you should be studying a bit now. For whatever our parents tell us to do, we have to do it some time or the other. Otherwise, we have that feeling of guilt inside us. 

But why think about all this right now? Because in most cases, the end of the exams marks the onset of the Holi season. Great presence of mind is required in order to escape balloons thrown by some kids from their rooftops. However, if we fail... well, all of us know what it is like getting hit by a balloon.

But I think it's fun sometimes. Cold water is so refreshing! If you're so swelled up in need and in need of a good water bath, just come in the way of a balloon and get hit. (I would love to see the look on the shooters' faces. Hehe)

Just yesterday in the park, a few older kids were making fools of everyone. They showed us balloons, we ran away from there, but then they burst them and we realized... they weren't filled with water, they were air balloons. I wanted to hide my face after that.

If you want to have an account of how Holi is played, and relive those memories of this festival, you should view my cousin's blog. I felt nostalgic after reading this post, along with watering of my mouth! http://dailydelightavecmoi.blogspot.in/2014/03/holi.html

So let's jump back to the end of the exams. The thing with me is that I've given so many exams in my life that I'm kinda bored of them. Without much effort, good marks can be obtained. The Indian education system promotes mugging up and doesn't help us to think. Some good questions where we will be forced to think will oust my boredom.

From the beginning, the Indian education system has focussed on good marks. The students are pressurized for getting good marks, but has anyone asked them to study smartly so that their knowledge is increased? No.

When we ask a teacher something extra about anything, in most cases we get the reply, 'Beta, yeh exam mein nahin aayega, karne ki zaroorat nahin hai.'

('Child, this won't come in the exams, no need to do this topic.')

This leads to cheating, as most of the students want good marks. No one focusses on whether they're getting to know interesting information or not. Then they ask us why we're cheating.

Soooo, I'm bored.

Dumping this rebellious mood, let's inhibit a carefree attitude and have some fun in these holidays! Happy Holi and Happy Good Result!
