I faintly remember... One year ago on this very same day, I had the most tension free and reviving day of my life... One year ago exactly today ( or maybe yesterday, not 100% sure about the date) I had finished giving my first and thankfully last 10th board exam... Still remember the first day of the exams... Seeing everyone gathered outside the school in wait for the exams to start. The anxiety, excitement and mixed emotions which cannot be described were evident on mostly everyones face (no matter how good a student the person was)...
I'm guessing that our last paper was practical science ( or science mcq)... The excitement of giving the exams had severely been lost by now... Given the time that these exams go on for, its hard to keep the anxiousness on for the whole month... Most people (including me) were more interested on the plans after the exam... The exam started at around 10:30... After an agitated one half hour the sound of the bell was like music to waiting ears... The halls were filled with shrieks and screams of all the students... The sound of freedom...
Everyone was rushing outside to get their bags and there were others like me who walked slow and wanted to enjoy every bit of this "freedom" that we were experiencing (and of course stay away from the rampage of the crowd)... Little did we know that this freedom was short lived and that a dreadful monster, namely the first year junior college (or the 11th standard for my cbse friends) was soon to approach. Though thats a different story altogether...
So there I was with my friends ready to go and have a great time... Had enough money in my pocket for a great time which was given to me by my parents who were generous and understanding enough to my needs (Disclaimer: The following are the sole thoughts of the parents and have no relation whatsoever with the thought of the writer of the following blog)... The day was one that I fully enjoyed with my friends... No problems of anyone going home early to mind some chores or homework or studies... This was the life... I reached home late at around 9:00, only to be greeted with questions which parents can't do without asking... How was the exam? Did you check your answers? and so on... But I had no problem in answering them, cause nothing could bring me down today....
Little did I know that god had plans to balance this super fun day by giving me many days of less or virtually no fun :P... Just when I thought that I had faced the worst, I found out that my classes were soon to start, ... But thats life... There are good and bad days... The good ones make you happy and the bad ones, stronger, and thats what makes it so special....:)
Aah.. The last day of exams. A day no one can forget. Of course, we did not really realize what lay ahead for us... Hence we were so high on spirits.. :P

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading...

It was a totally awesome day...:)
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI feel really bad since I said I would comment in a few days and those days turned into weeks...You must be wondering how long my days are! Sorry! (grins sheepishly)
About the post, as I said earlier, it was great. Especially because it gave me a chance to reminisce one of my most memorable days. :)
Even I remember how tense everyone was on their SS exam…but as the days progressed we got used to it and the anxiety waned…on 30th March people were more concerned with their after exam plans (for ‘most’ girls it was their dress for the farewell..hehe) that the exam itself.:P completely agree with u….
I liked the term “sound of freedom”…(though) sounds pretty alien now!
Funny disclaimer and good to read about the gala time you had that day.
But 1 thing… it’s strange (to me) that you forgot to write about the farewell and wrote about the exam…considering that my memories of that day are 99% of the farewell & teeny-weeny bit of the MCQ exam…
Liked the last para..Life’s life!
Hoping to read more from u
(& hoping to rid myself of procrastination)
Cheers =D
P.S. I wrote ‘most’ girls to show that it does not include me..hehe
Hey Sreejita!!! Sorry for my super late reply...:P
ReplyDeleteYa I think I should have written about the farewell rather than the day that I had...
But it was a memorable day... Something I'll hardly forget... I mean that day we were actually free, no studies or great tensions...
Well thanks fr reading...
Will post by end of this week...:)
