There's the marriage season in November, the holiday season in May, or the party season on New Year. And then... there's the exam season in September.
The exam season. When children across every school in India are immersed in the vast syllabus prescribed by the Devil (if you are in school, you know who the devil is).
At a particular time in mid-morn, thousands of students across India are wiping the sweat tickling their faces and folding their hands in secret, praying and cursing for getting this dumb fate. I almost imagine the Chairperson of the Devil leaning back in his chair and laughing a demon's laugh, for making fun of millions of students with just two sheets of paper.
As for me, exams are pretty much over when Science and SSt are done, the two subjects in which intensive studying is applied. Maximum memory per unit area of the brain is used for these two subjects.
Now that these two boulders are out of my way, I thank Thee for this unusually good luck, and sit here, writing whatever comes to my mind, on this 15-inch screen placed on my lap.
Two and a half weeks is so much time, and writing after this much a duration, is, well, refreshing!
So, obviously, there's a book lying open on my side, unhindered, waiting to be attended to. And then I see this extremely attractive grey metal notebook lying at a distance, reflecting the hungry light of my eyes.
You know what the obvious choice is.
And that's why studying can never be pure, it's always adulterated with blank stares at the wall, daydreaming, opening the laptop, scribbling, blank stares at the wall, and blank stares at the wall.
Therefore, thanks for being distracted while mugging up and reading this blog post as a result. And that's why, dear child, you should go and study now.
(Evil laughs heard.)
