Waiting for the bus, Oh! it seemed like eternity..
I had set out at 11:20 a.m. and walked to the stand.. I stood there waiting for the bus.. The waiting minutes seem hours when you are alone there on the stand waiting for the bus to show up.. All the others from my stand went in the morning itself and I didn't go because I was sure I'll be bored and tired like hell before entering the examination hall..
Oh! these bloody tests!! They are centralised now and are so much of pain.. Earlier, we used to have tests as and when we wanted, sometimes we used to postpone it to such a great extent that we didn't have to give the test!! What an amazing time of our life it was!! We would give open book test [though the book was opened illegally[:D]].. Yet it was so much of fun rather than a tormentor..
No matter how much we want them back, this is the new way devised by our anguishing teachers.. Oh!! How much we suffer because of their evil tricks!! Anyways, they not only make us feel the horrid examination hall environment, but also make it a point to call the marks we get now as a criteria for internals.. Do they really consider the scores we get in these bloody tests, I am not sure but I am dead sure about the main intention behind these chafing tests.. They are the provisions for the desperate and power hungry teachers to gain some power and the feeling of 'I am so damn important'..
Do they really gain it? I am again not sure of what they gain out of it but I am sure this delusion is soon overpowered by the truth.. The truth that this faux sense of power is short lived.. Those who are deeply engrossed in self-worth don't gain much out of this.. They always feel they are important and all powerful [I detest self from using the word 'ALMIGHTY' because they do suffer from some sort of complex]..
Anyways, the test was fine and I did read a few topics.. As far as the rest of the one and a half hour before the departure time of buses is concerned, it flew like anything.. We laughed and talked.. The topic of discussion today was Hindi Movies.. Followed by a small recitation of the dialogues of one of my all time favourite movies, Meine Pyaar Kiya.. It was so much of fun enacting one of my favourite scenes from the movie.. We didn't realise when the clock turned 4.. The peon came and asked us to vacate the class and proceed towards our buses and then we all glanced at the watch and sighed that we didn't realise that it was an hour since we were chatting!! It was fun and the journey back home was just fine..
A funny incident..
I saw a blue car with four guys in it.. The funny thing was that the hind door was open.. It was half open to be precise.. I saw it and then looked at it with eyes wide open.. It was in a way to attract the attention of the guys occupying the car.. Well, as in most such cases, they followed the bus for sometime, did drive the car closer to my window seat and left.. I was happy to see them leave, it was the best part..
Lesson learnt:
Never look in a way to attract attention.. Its fun but always deleterious to hog the limelight..
