I was born and with my birth, my designation was born. Same story of all families -
My Son will be a doctor, My Son will be an engineer and My Son will be a
blah, blah and blah!! Moral of the story 'I am a born Student". When I was
not able to speak properly, I was iterating rhymes in my nursery. When I
became five, I could build table of five. I grew and with my age my score
expectations grew. 90% is too less for my parents, and if my friend scored
98%, then my 97.99% was also a serious matter of discussion for them. They
met my teacher, demanded more concentration on my studies and for me
more studies was indirectly proportional to more play. Today I understand
what does Indirectly Proportional means. I crossed class five, meant I became
a warrior and my parents sent me in a highly competitive environment,
where I found many more warriors like me. The battle began for number one
position, sometimes I won, sometimes someone else. Days passed and with
passed days, my favourite changed. I used to love kites, cricket,
football, friends fun, but here I had to love brain-storming science,
untouched social science, tragic maths and forgotten mysteries of
histories. Why? because that was my class tenth, you know board class and
pressure of board class, of-course you know. Come on everybody was
student. Somebody had created board exam, where board was white board.
White board - is clean, but with God's grace and with some school's grace - my
board was not white, I had written something on it. I cleared my tenth. If I
cleared my tenth, meant I had to study eleventh, no, student's life is not so
easy, meant I had to also start prepration for the competitive exams, you
know parent's same blah, blah and blah!! I joined some classes and directly I
invited some more pressure. I scored less in class eleventh, here parents
bothered less, what bothered them most, was the result of - you can figure
it out easily. Anyway and anyhow I cleared those competitative exams, but,
hey! what ! I just cleared class eleventh, yet I had to cross one more board,
you know the same board with all colors, all colors mean - one color - white,
but again my luck was supreme, I had no white board. I cleared my last
board and this was the end of my school life, but what about - student's life?
Hey! hello I am a born student and of course I would die as a student.
Somebody had said - "Life is Learning" and here I am not interested in that
somebody. I gave my competitive exams, cleared them, taken counseling
for the course and started a new student life. This was the life which was
full of ragging phobia and mania, assignments and project submissions,
morning to eve lectures, bunks, no board exam, actually very-broad exam
with a competition of filling number of copies. So as a whole my life was
transferred from school to college, for me, bad to worse. I handled all the
pressure and from the day I was born, I was doing it, you know I am a pressure
cooker. Anyway everybody knows time increases with constant rate, so with
the time I cleared college and got selected for a job. How easy to figure it out,
but really is it so easy to get a job? May be for someone and here I was that
someone. So finally I was at the end of my student' life. Nah!! How can I
imagine it? Actually I can imagine it only. No reality, you know, bare
imagination. Again I had to start learning for my company, new policies, new
products, new innovations, new ways of earning money, you know more
money. I am doing it right now. Perhaps every person is doing it right now.
How sad? or How funny? That depends on you. Bye.
