Before the Exam
Three hours before the exam:
You're at home. Dressed up, glancing through the pages of your textbook, and trying to memorize the facts in your textbook. The book stays in your hand and your eyes stay stuck to it, as you eat breakfast, as you tie your shoes etc.You give your book the love and attention you should have given throughout the year.Your parents try to motivate and advise you. They tell you to feel calm, though they wear a rather tensed face. Your relatives from distant places call you to wish you their 'All the best'. You pray, and so does your family, so that you may come back home with a smiling face.
Two hours before the exam:
You're in your vehicle, on the way to your centre of exam. Your eyes are still fixed on the book.
For a while, you try to memorize the facts you just read. If you'd remembered it, good. It must have made you feel better. You turn the page.
One hour before the exam:
You've reached the centre of exam. You see your classmates, in the same situation as you are in, preparing to fight a great war. The only difference is that they wield a pen of blue ink, and that too in a proper manner, so that it might not be struck by the examiner's weapon, the pen of red ink.
Thirty minutes before the exam:
Okay, now you're done. You are well prepared for your exam. You try to be calm, but the tense surrounding does not allow you to do so. Then you get into discussing the topics with your friends.
ten minutes before the exam:
You've cleared your doubts. You've done everything you needed for that exam., but still... that impending fear.....
Then someone asks you "What is watt-less current?"
You realize that you've forgotten it.
Ten seconds before the exam:
You are sitting in the seat allotted to you. You hear your heart beating fast. You feel your sweat trickling down your face and down your pen. Then you look up and say"Bhagavane! Help me out with this!"
The invigilator gives you the paper.
