In fond memory of those martyrs who fought bravely to deny victory to our national arch rival, those who sacrificed their personal life, those who spent sleepless nights staring in the eye of the enemy, those who bore the brunt of attacks and are still carrying the bravery marks!
But its not over yet, the war is still on.....
Saludos to the valor of all the students(soldiers) who are facing the fury of Board Exams at Examination Centres(warfront) and all the support entities, who are ensuring that they put up a brave fight.
Board exams are here again, and claiming as many personal lives of students as never before. Everybody is contributing their bit in this hour of national crisis. Curfew has been declared in most of the cities. And No Sound sign boards have been put outside and inside, homes of Board appearing students. Places of worship are witnessing a house-full as mothers want to leave no stone unturned to help their wards. This 'innocent species' still think that the break-up of marks obtained is 70%hard work+20%prayer+10%luck! And they can score 30/30 by praying on their child's behalf and gifting some lucky charm like locket or something...to the apple of their eye!
Such times bring out the hidden side of our society, as coaching centres act like poaching centres, hunting down students with arrows of assured 40% marks,and ads like, "No Marks se Marks tak". All roaring parents(in normal times) behaving like household cats, pleading to their children, to not let them down in social circles.
For those at the epicentre, these are the times of joint warfare (combined studies), where friends reunite to curse their teachers,pity their ignnorant parents and strategise for upcoming battle by signing pacts of mutual cooperationwhen needed. These are the times of frequent encounters with the long forgotten books and at night, with books beside and bedside, feeling like "Sleeping with the Enemy"!
For some, its the time to square the scores. The siblings make you regret the time you denied them any favor, and act like host of Sansani, with remarks,"Wake up if you wanna sleep in peace after results too..!"whenever you want to sleepy break..
Your otherwise 'emotional-spendthrift' grandma looks at you as if you are a war-criminal since you deprieved her, of her daily dose of "In-Law-Melodrama". And you feel, Oh man...I have become a top-notch Villian over-night.no..no over-board...!
Not only students, Board exams jolt economy of the nation too...as the most spendthrift class of society doing BCA(Baap ke Cash pe Aish) is under house-arrest. This causes all the food joints, dhabas, movie theatres, entertainment parks, discos n pubs suffer huge losses due to these un-eco-friendly exams. Infact, some legislation should be passed proposing that Board exams should be avoided in times of recession at least.
But as they say, war is the destiny of a soldier, similarly Boards is the destiny of a student. And nothing..absolutely nothing can deter you from having teet-a-teet with your destiny. So, all I could do is, wish all the board-divers a thrilling and non-erasable experience. Just pull the lever and dont fear exam fever, have a dive of your life!
