I have had the most nightmarish starts in life. But equally nightmarish ends that one could ever do to himself.
I confess my Geography skills wont even help scratch over a cup of double cream. Add 2 spoons of my hatred towards the Geography teacher at school (Geography teacher is not the only one that can fit in here - every teacher at school can vie for no.1 position). Top it off with my dislike towards studies and anything to do with education.
Now you get it - that's the perfect recipe for being a school drop out.
But goodness gracious - we are all tied to the fabric of a social system called Education. And for such's sake, I had to continue my toil, albeit with contempt oozing through my ears. Gushing would be more appropriate.
It happens to be my Geography exam today. I mean the ultimate Geography test in one's life. 10th standard Final exam or what we call as public exam. Needless to remind my IQ once again. And today is the last 10th standard public exam. The beautiful imagination of 2 month holidays ahead has already filled my mind and slowly lifting its veil.
And guess what - it had rained a few days before this exam. My school exam hall was flooded and so it was announced that the exam would start half hour late. It need not be an IIT aspirant, but even an average student would make use of this delay and flip through the books to etch their memories intact.
But me and my 3 other good friends at school (who also have to be like me right?) decided to have a go at a game of soccer. 4 a side. We couldnt convince more than that to join us.
Well, imagine what a lovely game we had. And half hour passes. We have 2 drop outs - from the game I mean. Unabated, we continue the game. Another 20 minutes, another 3 drop out. Another 15 minutes. Another one goes. Now, just the 2 of us. Me and my friend. Each of us for our sides. Our flags flying high. Electrifying scores - netting goals every 2 minutes. And it rains again. The rain soaked up our fever and we played for some more time until we decided to call it quits.
The school electric bell rings hard. Ooops - the exam had started long hour back. We already lost 1 hour in a 2.5 hr exam.
I managed to answer a few questions, didnt have time for a few. I am not sharing how much I got in my exam, though I passed.
Now I have a question? How it rained during the month of March in Chennai. Infact, it did. Puzzling Geography.
Can it get any crazier than this ?
