Today, at around 11am, i was sitttin in the conference room at my coll. Waitin for my jury to happen . A bit nervous, a bit haressed. I was getin impatient o start with my jury and finish it well. However, the profs were in no mood to hurry. The 2 profs were busy discussing how the builders make more money and how we or architects dont get a share of it [ i agree with it ;P ] and where does the CEO of this very renowned company sit and how his older brother has still not vacated the office even after the split and all tht blah..............when suddenly out-of-the-blue-moon, my friend sitting next to me glanced down at her watch. She smiled, looked up and whispred to me tht ..................."u no wht, my bro's biology pracs must have started by now.......he is givin his HSC ..........." the smile was still intact.............but the smile itself had a very diff story to tell....
I suddenly realised tht i was smiling too..........for some vague reasons i knew why we both were smiling at each other.............tht smile had a diff story to tell..........a story which i am sure all of us have experienced as the first person............the story of any freakin board exam.....
It transported me back to a very unceratin period in my life...or for the matter any students life...........the board exams r loomin close by, the pressure is mountin, the test series have to be completed, more and more notes, chapters, books, etc have tto be scaned and stored in the brains.......ur appetite suffers, u suffer, u either can sleep at night or u r extremely sleepy through ou the day and night, hence, u suffer again......and the day finally dawns...............its a nightmare.....completely........
The 11am heat outside made me remember all this and suddenly i had goosebumps.....the smell in the air suddenly told me tht years ago i was also writin a similar exam, same time in some place.............the heat outside very cruelly reminded me tht i still have to finish revising my derivation and intgration formulae [ another nightmare]..............the sudden pang in my stomach reminded me tht THIS IS IT............I have been studying for this day for years, i have to give my 100%.......................i still can feel the butterflies creatin a havoc in my stomach.
But today was a diff day..............its all over for me [ atleast for now].........i am through it...............i have SUCCESSFULLY managed to overcome this hurdle and move ahead in life............its a bright, new day for me..........
I smiled to myself.........a smile which was reassuring and even more comfortin..........suddenly i didntt feel nevervous anymore.................instead i had made u my mind tht..................today is a gr8 day!!!!!!!

well my story is a bit different....i was not at all nervous during the board exams....in fact that was the best exam i had until now....and the preparation used to be so thorough that there was no room for any tension.....but sadly, things have changed after joining engg and now i get extremely nervous when exams r near.....and it really affects me a lot(especially my health).....so just praying that this last sem gets over soon so that i can finally relax!!!
u know what??? board exams really yar made me too tensed. but the best thing ( which i came to now now) which i always regretted earlier ....... why my surname to b started with B . BADKAR...shi yar.... the first person in roll no . the first person to give pracs in 10 , viva , in coll too... to always sit on first bench durin exams time....... i had always regretted uptill 1st yr of arch.
seriously its now in my hand, roll no -2... the desitination of the remaning class. be it jury , the viva exams etc etc......... its me who can turn their destiny.
for jures even if we take the most of time 1 to 1&1/2 hr its fine . but the experience is amazing. even though the jury members are fresh in mood to screw me up ..... the firmly belive in waht so ever requirenments/ changes/ brief ups abt the concerned topic made by me.
the things done by me if not seen in the remainig sheets ppl r screwed.
we r the first persons to get frees from the so called frustrated jury well the others have to wait untill their roll call come........ seriously its more tough to b witing fo the no....... than for the jury members
well manasi..... for us in our studies atleast we dont have that mugging part yar ........ god knows even after mugging till 12th hoe good capacity r with these engineers n doctors........
reff ur frnds comment ...... well just tell her we relax almost all the times unless it reaches abv the nose lvl........ but still like / enjoy working in highly tensed atmosphere
but that doest mns we have nothing to do or no study load but the load is quiet light 2 b enjoyed.
