I woke up this morning at 8am. As usual the alarm started ringing right near my ears from 6:30am. I have the habit of snoozing it rather than deactivating it. As a typical student I strongly believe that alarms are not for waking up... they let you know how much more time you can catch some Z's (well, I mean remain asleep). So in this regard snoozing helps me delay my getting up till the time it is meet for my well-being (I would rather attend a class late than not attending at all!). To add to this benefit of mine I usually set two or more alarms so as to be continuously alert of the time left for my cosy sleep and strangest dreams...
Last night I had planned to start studying for my upcoming exams from today onwards... come on, I am a student afterall and I consider myself exemplary at that! Yesterday I was happy that I finished all my backlogs viz. class assignments, lab records and the like. So I decided to call the day off and instead start my studies from today. But in a case such as this, God has always been known to dispose our propositions. To add spice to the already spicy broth, I have caught a cold with a terribly running nose which I have to clean it time & again (exactly! even I show the same expression which you have on your face now). So my day started with the usual routine like brushing and having tea and then a bit of phone talk followed by sending a few text messages to friends with 'gdmrng. hv a nys day' written at the bottom. Then, I thought of having a bath so that I shall feel fresh the moment I open the book (I should have been a thinker or a philanthropist by now, the magnitude to which I can think is just magnanimous!).
So all set and done, I had a nice time in the bathroom. The warm bath after emptying my bowels gave me a feeling of deep contentment. It really refreshed me and as I came out of the bathrrom & headed toward the terrace to hang my clothes to dry, I felt the cold air on my body saying 'Man, it's such a nice time out here. Have a sumptuous breakfast and enjoy the day. Do you really wish to ruin the day staring at the books?'... I felt I underwent a revelation. Slowly the picture of the rest of the day came to my mind: I am playing counter-strike with my friends over the lan and many of my team's wins have been credited to me... I am grabbing hold of a large piece of chicken leg and having dabbed it in a bowl of sauce I am tearing the flesh out of it and my mouth has become the busiest in the world... I am enjoying a cosy nap in the afternoon under the 'chaadar'....
I returned to the present. There was a knock at the door and I had to atttend the call. What a fun day it can be when I am away from studies I thought. Soon, I had my breakfast-a large chicken patties and a glass of milk. Then I thought of playing CS for some time before I actually start (ahem!) reading. Amidst my play (which had just started to get interesting) I got a call. I stopped playing and then the next thirty-two minutes saw the mobile glued to my ears and I moving from this corner to that talking over different issues. Then, as I ended the call, a friend asked if I gonna have another cup of tea. Whoa! How on earth could I deny? So,very soon four cups of tea were laid out and four of us started conversing over the tea. The talks continued even after the last trace of tea disappeared and it continued for a duration wherein another five cups could have easily been gulped down.
And the clock struck noon. I started feeling hungry and at the same time a regret for wasting all of my morning. So in haste, I took out a book and opened a chapter. But alas! Hardly had I glanced at the first sentence when a friend approached and remarked 'you are reading!! Oh Jesus! has the world come to an end before 2012?'. I looked at him and smiled. Then he asked me the portions from the subject which have to be completed. Slowly our talks drifted to semester, the gaps before each exam, grading system and the like. When my friend left the room, I looked at the clock. It was 12:45pm. My hunger overcame me. I entered into the kitchen to eat something. I found nothing. Just then our cook arrived. He reported that some things have to be brought before he begins cooking. Okay, I agreed to go.
As I purchased the groceries, I thought of having something to eat. I ate a cake and drank a bottle of toned milk. Now this was the time. Finally I got the energy to read for sometime. I reached my study and opened the book which I had opened some time ago. I skimmed a few pages from a chapter but nothing went into my mind. I thought of concentrating more- I read the first paragraph... wow! I got the gist of it. I moved to the second... wow! the language is pretty intelligible... and then the third... oh man! who was that insolent fool that found the subject difficult?...the fourth and then the fifth and there I stopped. I thought of taking a pause. I slid my body down the chair, stretched my legs over the bed, closed my eyes and relaxed for a while.
'Wake up dude... will you not have ur lunch? Its 15 minutes past three'. I opened my eyes. Damn! I had decided to rest for a couple of minutes and then resume my study again... How could I fall asleep for so long? I felt irritated. Not thinking of lunch I powered on my laptop, clicked on the Mozilla icon and opened my blog and then...
Perhaps it's high time I should have my lunch now. The evening's gonna be the same and why, tomorrow will be no different. It's time my parents knew that I am the most REAL STUDENT!!
