Back with a bang!


Sounds cliched but its true guys .. I was away on an exam break but now I assure you full entertainment on my blog. Talking about exams first, let me update you guys on what happened. I had my final exams of the final graduating year, so definitely I wasn't too high on studying. Afterall, its a psyche that you actually don't feel like studying for the last of all exams.
Anyway, so like I said, I was low on preparation. If you had read my pre-exam blog, you would recall how I love the adrenaline surge it gives me. This time however, I had to undergo series of unfortunate events. After my initial two exams (which by the way were the toughest), I had a bone stuck in my throat. We had to rush to an ENT to get it removed. There, in the theatre, while I was undergoing laryngoscopy, I simply had one thought in mind.. I somehow had to get rid of the bone. There was no chance that I was going to miss my exam the other day. Finally, on the 6th attempt, I coughed it out along with lots of blood and other goey stuff.
This left me wounded badly. Now, with my throat injured and the my mouth ulcerated, you can only imagine how well prepared it left me.
As if the dilemma wasn't enough, I had a viral infection soon after my vivas began. A never ending fever, bad cough and flu .. this wasn't all I was deemed too have. Soon, my throat got so bad that my voice sounded all cracked up. Pretty worse than the crows perched outside my window. Heck I sounded funny when the examiner asked me questions!
Well, that done too .. it was the first time I wasn't well during exams so that was pretty hectic. I wouldn't cry over it now that I have spilled it all about .. but one thing's positive about this .. for which I might be ever grateful to nature. lol .. I LOST WEIGHT!! hehe thats the best part of being sick .. and the loveliest is, when people comment on how weak these exams have left me! Afterall, what these exams did to me wasn't achieved by 3 months of workouts! Great going eh?

The Rocket Principle .. :P




"Great students like us work on the principle of rockets, it doesn't mean we aim for the skies. It means, we don't start studying till our tails are on fire."

Hey guys,

This is the first blog on this site. I dont know if I'll get you guys clicking. Now first, dont get scared when you see my webpage's title: the individual,family and society. I am definitely not going to waste your time into Darwinism or his theories. Nor, am I going to blabber about the evils of society and how things SHOULD be. For all I believe, things are the way we want them to be. Well, anyway, my aim would be to write about anything inspiring, reality based that I come across daily.

Say for example, my brother told me the starting quote when I sat down to write this up. And there it clicked, as I mocked upon myself: Wow! Here I am doing this blog writing, when this Monday I have my Final Exams! .. lol

I donot boast when I say that it's been half my educational life where last moment cramming has been my ultimate tool to clear an exam. I dont understand how people sit hours and nights, months before their exams, preparing!! Preparing for what?? It's not like you are off to a war where you got to display your brave acts. Get real!!! When you have tuitions to give, home chores to take care of, TV serials to watch, facebooking to do, then how would you end up concentrating on studies? Well, even if you cut down supposed time-wasters, you just cant sit and let all the studying drone you down.

I actually love it when I am out of time and have lots of study. It's kind of re-freshing. The adrenaline surge that it gives! Try it someday. Its better than any marijuana on the block. This part in its real sense gives me a challenge, that I would want to fulfill, be it in an hour or a sleepless night. The real joy then comes from succeeding in that exam, which thank God I have uptil now.

However, when I sit down to reflect it later, I do realize one thing: It would have been distinction marks, if I had studied the proper way. Which reminds me, I have an exam to give this Monday!
