Exam scene can vary from one with a blank stare fixed on same page for last 30 minutes, one with clenching hair and mugging up all that one can find marked in book as important, one walking fast here and there with pen in mouth and photocopied notes in hand to one hungrily swallowing big gallops of Maggie with mobile on another hand asking important topics or sometimes even syllabus. Exam scene in hostel is even more chaotic with everyone gathered around a bed where a comparatively more geek fellow is teaching or explaining a complex diagram or algorithm and all others scratching their heads on hearing such alien words.
Exam stress is the epic in stress moments .It though is
short lived but when this stress is released you can see a sigh of relief on
everybody face before tension for results and more exams start hovering again.
In college we had a thing sorted out that whenever a season of exams get over,
it is mandatory to go out most probably for a movie or lunch out! And, we have
seen quite a few pathetic movies because of such commitment to our decision but
those were sure stress buster. Before that a bare two hours of sleep before
exams was enough to keep us awake in exam to pour all the data that we have
pasted in our head. Exams bring out the birds in us I guess: owl or chicken .I
am more of owl kinds to be awake till the wee hours and some others were chicken
who were wide awake for revision in the early hours of day.
Exams are the love of no one but the bitter reality that is
faced again and again. Love of not even of the topper people, though results
can be their favorite time to show off. One cannot chicken out or avoid some
mandatory ones. Though there are people who are struck in some or the other
exams all the time, probably love for studying, eh?
Though myself not being the carefree types, still a non-believer
in all the hype that the exams generate. First of all, it’s just exams, not the
only core of life. Secondly, nothing will happen if the results are not super
duper types. Though, am not denying the fact that you won’t be securing good
percentage or convert in good college or job but.. but that is not the end of life .And that is one
of the various things in life that you get. Moreover, if the hype is reduced
and is handled with better ease than some of the extreme stress will evaporate
for sure and at least those mistakes that happen because of nervousness would
be negligible.
O Exams ,go away and let there be peace!!

Liked the owl and chicken (the bird within us) something similar to "cat or a dog person"
