That was the Night Before........

5 tips to do well in exam ( I have read it somewhere during my childhood days.)

1> Eat a well Balanced Dinner.
2> Get a full night Rest.
3> and the next day. Wake up.
4> Eat a well Balanced Breakfast.
5> Leave early for the exam. (Don’t forget to have Curd).

Yeah these may work for them who have prepped well the whole semester.
What about those who are still searching for the syllabus the very last night before the exam. Some still are unaware about the fact that there is a exam tomorrow.

And if it comes to fear;
Darrte toh hum kisike..... Baap se nahi.
Par apne Baap se darr toh lagta hi hai.

And some talks about the MOOD;
"Bhagwaan ka diya sab kucch hai,
  Books hai, Notes hai, time hai,
  Aur Honsla toh itna hai ki .....
  Jab chahun khambe ukhad sakta huin,
  Jab chahun padh ke top kar sakta huin..!!
  Parr ek baat ki kami hai.... yeh MOOD saala bantaa hi nahi.

But, believe me those days were awesome.

Those tensed nights, those unfulfilled dreams, that hard coffee, those cheap cigarettes, those Midnight alarm and a hope to fight the lone battle the very next day.

And Some are ready with the excuses for skipping exams:-
“I missed the exam because I consumed a bag of fat-free Pringles while studying the night before and the Olestra gave me anal leakage, abdominal cramping, and diarrhoea”.

Understood anything??

Even the Professor is busy  understanding what the actual problem is? :P
Some one rightly said "The best way to convince someone is to confuse someone."

Some are ready with their master plans: - How to spend 3 hrs in the exam hall?

2:00-2:10  Write the reg no. & subject code.
2:10-2:40   Read carefully the instructions given.
2:40-3:40  Read the question paper twice.
3:40-4:15   See if you understand any questions and write whatever you want to.
                      (FAKE it if you cannot MAKE it).
4:15-4:20  Ask for water & drink,
                     Next go out to the toilet to know “Kis kis ki phatti padi hai??”
                     That gives you confidence that you are not alone.
4:20-5:00 Dikhaa Saale!! Pass karaade please, Agle baar se pakka padhke aaunga.

Every semester, the schedule has played its negative part followed by some sleepless night.
(Movie, Masti, Mazak suddenly turned into M for Maatam).
Things completely changed, those deserted addaas.
That VLC media player turned Adobe Reader.
Those playing cards turned exam notes.

That wall once posted with erotic hot girls turned the one posted with equations & formulas.

But despite those, a belief is there to strive hard for it and success is all ours.

Those shattered books, Those pirated DvDs, That afflict desktop-monitor, Those crippled Ear-phones,That torn mattress, Those uncooked Maggi and 2-3 heads coming out of a shared blanket (Always had a Tortoise feeling from that).

And a kameena always there within us only reading PREVIOUS YEAR QUESTIONs and keep asking everyone “Previous year padhucha ki naahi. Sabu seithiru Asiba”.

And a long queue for the toilet, that exposed hairy-scary legs and those towel pulling. It all became the part of that night where we have started our mission to do or die.
That oath “Back laagibara naahi”.

But the thing that counts for us is the patience and the courage we showed!!
Don’t know where that energy comes from at that point of time. Even Einstein’s  mass-energy equivalence ( e= mc2) fails to get a relation out of it.

Today when I have the splash back of those memories, i never have a glimpse of those grade-sheets, but the pictures that roll over are those punchy-crunchy preparation.
That preparation which taught me that team-effort, that patience, that courage and never to give up.

That is what i always loved about exam.

That was the night before..............
