The other day i was just thinking abt how different ppl react to the same situation in different ways.. Although i started off thinking abt it in a philosophical way, i soon ended up with all my attention on one event.. The exam times.. Esp the times when i was in hostel..
Yeah.. Exams.. The big half-yearly event which brings abt different reactions from different ppl..
A typical scene in my hostel a day before the exams goes like this..
Gagan (my room-mate) : I call him the undertaker.. He'll ve a book in his hand all the time.. N he'll sleep anywhere.. And then, all of a sudden he'll wake up(exactly the way undertaker does when he is lying flat in the ring after getting beaten up).. And there's just no stopping to this phenomenon.. Just keeps happening thruout the night.. Sometimes, i actually got scared when he did that..
Dhaval : Man, this guy can study non-stop.. The sad-part is, he writes everything that he is reading.. I just can't seem to do that :-0 My nocturnal buddy while studying.. Its a different thing, we end up laughing at our conditions at 6 in the m'ing and then crying during the exam time..
Jill : Well, undoubtedly the master of witty one liners, sit besides him for some time (while he's studying) when u get bored, nd u'll go back to ur room refreshed :)
Ravi : Always in his trademark 'baniyan' before exams, he'll be doing.. well god knows what.. Chatting with his roommate dodia abt random stuff.. as though its just another day.. Or worse, playing tomb raider :-o :-o :-o
Dodia : Ravi's roomie.. Well.. He n dipen wud always go out for a movie to R-World before the exam day, our very own multiplex.. Nearest to our hostel.. Only 10 Kms :D
This is how he n dipen wud usually talk :
Di : Pi#$ nu kai aavadtu j nathi, ganna.. G$$## faate che maari.. (haven't studied anything, i'm screwed)
Do : Hu to waanch to j nathi have.. Khabar che kaai thavanu nathi.. (i've already surrendered, i know its no use studying)
After some pause :
Do : Chaal picture jova jaiye (lets watch some movie)
Di : Kayo show?? Newspaper laav :D :D :D (which one?? get the newspaper :) )
And off they go at 9 in the night before the exam day ;)
And surprisingly, manage to score well too :-0
Chandu : An 'inmate' of room no 606 (i use that word, coz man, that room has history.. will tell abt it some other time) Anyways, the only time he'll come out will be when he wants to know how much jill has studied (both were in the same branch btw.. Mechanical)
Nikunj : He'll study for some time , then Daydream abt naked gals.. Again study for some time, then some more daydreaming.. That went on till the exam time.. God knows what he'd be thinking while writing the exam..
Me : i'll study hard for some time.. then get damn bored n head off to different rooms to see what every1 else is doing :D (how the hell do u think i know all that i've written above :P) Then while in one of the rooms, i'll realise.. Shit!!! I don't ve this textbook.. Another round to all the rooms to check if sum1 has that book and is not reading from it :)
THE D-DAY :
All the wise ppl leave hostel well before the exam time.. Me n my roomie take turns for riding the bike to college so that the one sitting on the back seat can read on the way :-0
Anyways, this is our schedule before the exam :
Exam time : 2:30 pm
2:15 - Fight on who will go for bath first
2:18 - Fine, i'll go
2:18:30 -I complete the quickest bath ever
2:19 - He completes the quickest bath ever
2:22 - Off on the bike
2:24 - Touchdown at college
2:25 to 2:27 - We discuss random questions from parking to the exam hall and realise we have forgotten everything
2:29 -
Me - Have you studied topic X.
Him - ye sirf 10 marks ka hi aata hai.
Me - Thank god i didnt study this one. Just ran thru it for 5 min
2:30 - Topic X which usually comes for 10 marks has this time around a weightage of 35 marks in the paper ..
--THE END--
(The rest is too painful to describe)
