All over?

Today it was the last time i wrote an exam.. an engineering exam!... hell... of course i'm happy.. :P

relieved of all tensions... :P bye bye vtu.. once for all...

and here I am, describing my day.. “the final day”.. and all of those mixed emotions that went through me today..

damn... @12 am (2^ndjune 2010):

Three students at my home.... in my room… one on my bed (character1)... one on my table(character 2).. And other on the floor (me of course, character 3)… all three classmates...

Character 1: Preeti... middle row, first bench model student..

Character 2: Rashmi… Doesn’t mind first or second bench… since she can’t convince her friend (character 3) to join her on those front benches, settled heavy heartedly on almost last bench...

Character 3: Aparna(me…) loves to sit on the prestigious "the last bench" but boys of her class are rude and always occupy them before she even comes to class.. They think that they own those benches anyway...

Rashmi: kahan se shuru kare yaar???(Preeti was already two units ahead of us...)

me: ye aakhri time hai.. jab ham log saath me padhenge.. hai na?

Preeti: will mis u Appu.. :( waaaa...... (She had all time to cry… of course! she was two units ahead of us... )

me: (soon realizing the fact..) lets study unit 1????

Rashmi: we won’t meet again.. Let’s have a photo session??? for one last time??? final study days....?

Preeti: excellet idea le... :) Appu get the cam...

me: ya ya... (of course.. )

After doing with pics of all pages in the text book, pen, paper, eraser, sharpener… etc… we soon (at 12.45 am) realized we were here to study… n decided to seriously start with unit one (Preeti, unit 3)

@1.30 am

me: kitna huwa?

Rashmi: almost half over… let’s take a break.. ? Preeti done?

Preeti: (finally freed her ears from old dhoom song…) sit n study…

me: no way... can’t even read a sentence… m done…

Preeti: Appu...last exam... u don’t have to study at all hence forth…

me: where do u think we will be in next 10 years??? (We very well know the ways to distract Preeti out of her study mood… n get her on our track)

Preeti: don’t know but I will miss u all…………………… zzzzzzzz(other ppl in room)… but life goes on… life has to go on…

@2 am

Rashmi: (getting up from her nap n stopping Preeti finally) we have an exam to write tom…

Preeti: oh ya… I’m getting tensed... Let’s study seriously now on…

@3 am:

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………………..

@ 7 am…

Knock knock….

Mom: get up!!!! U have an exam afternoon... you guys need to leave to college... m sure…u have loads left to study...

(we usually have exams at 2 in the afternoon.. but we three have the habit of reaching college early by 9… we sit at our secret place in college n study there till the warning bell rings.. somehow studying there gives us some extra confidence to write the exam.. that place is so lucky for us…)

Rashmi n Preeti: yes auntyyyyyyy….. Aparna get up!
Rashmi: Aparna… get up….

Preeti: apppppu… get up….

Both:AAAAAPPPPAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…………………………………….

It was late already… :P the damage was done… college bus was gone… leaving me alone amidst angry four eyes staring at me…

But all happens for a reason say the learned people… this gave me a chance to try something new.. :P triples……. On my activa….. n within no time we were in college…

N the race began..Preeti n Rashmi finished all the units.. n somehow I too struggled through the book…

Now I know people decided to use decision support systems so that they can make decisions… alright…

@12 noon:

me : hungrrryyyy.. lets go to canteen…

Canteen uncle came n reiterated his big list of all the items in the canteen… we ordered something and finally it was time to leave for that last battle..

We wished each other... Everyone was holding their nerves... it was like leaving for a war... we all decided we shall survive... and make ourselves independent of foreign acquisition… and end the reign of vtu once for all.. And free ourselves of all its discriminations and emotional atyachaars…

We all decided that we shall copy (today at least!.. we always decided but never gathered enough courage to do the same with kind of supervisors we had around!) it was now or never…

We wished us all again...

@1.55pm

Reached the exam hall… all were busy with some last minute preparation… we too sunk ourselves into some book… until we heard….

“get in u all… come in.. its time.. “

In no time, question paper was in my hand… damn it was so easy... What was the reason for so much humbleness from vtu? After all it has done to us all the way… no… I didn’t bother.. I started and wrote till it was 5…. N of course I managed it… copied... :P

The final bell finally rang.. I looked at my last answer paper again for one last time.. yes it was over now.. it was finally over.. my stomach gave a jolt… emotions rushed through me when I finally submitted that 50 page booklet with my usn boldly written on it.. and my heart told me yes its over…

But amidst those smiling faces… I plunged backed to my always happy mood… had to gear up for our send off ceremony after all…

Many people were made to talk there at the send off.. I was patiently listening to everyone... they were all telling the same thing.. stressing on the same thing, something I didn’t want to hear… they were all telling loud and clear that it’s all over….

I didn’t like it... Not liking it still... but I don’t have a choice... it’s over…

Don’t know where we ll be in future.. but let me conclude by saying… yes I had wonderful four years in this campus… LOVE U SDM..

we ll miss u..
