Aaacccchhhooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!

What an extraordinary day it was? Awesome, mind blowing and rubbish. Today was the mid-semesters (one of those weapons society points at us to see how well or how badly one can crumble and collapse so that the society can jeer and mock at them). I was kind of ok with my preparations, must say it wasn’t as great as it could have been, all the blame goes to me and my lazy bones. :-P
Anyways since we knew that metro won’t be plying for the day one of my friends bought her car to give us a lift till college. It was very considerate of her and we all agreed to it. But my stupid, dumb luck always comes in between my happiness. What happened was something really unexpected. I entered the exam room and took my place and was kind of fine with the questions (must say some of them were expected) and sat with the answer sheets. And within fifteen minutes of bliss and contentment on getting a good question paper, but something seemed to interfere and create a commotion for not just me but the people around me.
How would you feel when while writing the answers, for the first time when you feel you are all prepared and ready to write non-stop and in fact have already started writing the answers when in the middle of nowhere a person starts sneezing? All your concentration seems to be messed up and seems to mingle with the incredible aaaccccccccchhhhoooonnnnnnn!!!!! Rubbish it is, no doubts about it. Anyone would be pissed off because of that (and maybe some where actually pissed off though didn’t seem to voice their annoyance). It feels as if someone should go and stop the nuisance and ask the person to leave the room and just get lost.
But would anyone think of the person who had no fault at it and still kept on sneezing for three hours and that too because she had traveled in an A.C. car??? It’s something which she is not used to but still it wasn’t as if A.C. would have such adverse effect on her that she becomes a topic for others to be laughed and mocked at. People continuously staring at her and she trying her best not to create a mess in the class.
That is exactly what happened to me today. I couldn’t bloody write my paper properly because I was sneezing non-stop in the examination hall. And believe me it feels like shit trying badly to avoid it and yet not being able to do so. I must have sneezed for at least 50 times throughout the day. Fuck man! And because of the stupid shitty cold I couldn’t even concentrate on whatever I was writing. What could have been a good paper has turned out to be a bad paper cause it seems I didn’t even bother to complete my answers and was in a hurry to leave the room since I was not feeling well.
But I should thank all those who had to bear the burden of my sneezes all through the exam-time and didn’t seem to complain about it. Some even took the pains of asking me what was wrong with me. But even I, myself was unable to find an answer to their questions since it definitely wasn’t the first time I had traveled in A.C. car nor has a minor change in the room temperature affected me so much.
So I ran out of the room (after submitting my paper) and go to have a coffee and what the fuck, I am alright after drinking the bloody coffee? All the nautanki had to be inside the exam hall when I was so keen on finishing my paper and not just that was confident I would do pretty well. And here everything goes to shit. Even the Profs must have laughed at me sitting there sneezing for innumerable number of times, creating a kind of commotion in the class. My friend even apologized for bringing me along in the A.C. car and I felt bad for her since she was feeling bad for me. :-( But what is done is done and no one is to be blamed for whatever happened today. I believe everything happens for a reason and even though I am not sure why all this happened with me today, but I seriously believe that there must have been some master plan by the Almighty and I was a part of it all. Oh! How much I hated the day. I know I could have done well but now nothing will come out of nothing. So it’s even useless trying to think about whatever passed today. It’s long gone and has ended already.


By the way my Guardian Angel is much better now and has recovered a lot. Thanks for praying for him. Wish you all great love and luck in life.
I will soon be writing about two of the movies which I had liked a lot. One is a Korean movie- The Classic and another if our very own desi-Bollywood movie -Sawaariyan. I know that the choice of Sawaariyan is a little weird but frankly speaking I had loved the movie and finally I will be writing about it. Till then everyone go ahead and enjoy.

Cheers!!!

Hi, not been around for a while-CU really saps your life out, but anyway, that was some definition of mid-semesters(I haven't had a semester yet, I was after all one of the last of that race at Xaviers that BD referred to as "the CU people") I really feel sorry for you sneeze-fiasco, but you can always be careful next time about taking a coffee-break before the exam. Did you know Trina Talukdar of our batch? She was famous for her sneezes throughout the 3 years...not that we did not feel sorry for her, but yeah, sneezes in the middle of, say, Blake or Austen or Shakespeare do provide what BD would call farcical comedy. Don't dwell too much on this, you will do well in the next exam. I am glad your guardian angel is better, whoever he is, and I await your take on Saawariyaan- I didn't watch that movie but I would like to read what you think. That is, if I get time out of CU. You didn't read my college-farewell piece, did you, by the way?
