Another exam over. wow again:) jst one more to go. Me and nams are currently somewhere on the peak of our efficiency curve, the number of chapters to be studied dont daunt us, we jst keep on sorting and piling everything on to our minds. Thats another matter that the retention ratio is about 25%. Seriously if someone does a survey- on the percentage of time mba students spend in studying we would come somewhere near the bottom of the list that is if u sort and arrange the data in a descending order.
BDW what am i writing? See this is what comes out of studying so much of terrible subjects like stats and finance at the last moment. Need to watch a movie fast in order to purify my brain.
People here in my college are rushing by today with glowing faces all filled with the joy of going home as soon as this one- last-final-akhri exam gets over. Thier excitement is palpable and i too feel a rush of warmth in my heart looking at this scene. See i come from a far- away land and for me going and coming back would comsume all my hols and more... so poor me:(
Which reminds me of the last time i went home. It was 7 days of pure bliss for me. When i was in high s chool i was somewhat a rebel. It was as if every sentence my parents spoke i had to rebel. Time has mellowed me down and now i can grasp- only grasp mind you and not comprehend the totally selfless devoted way in which they love me. Isnt it wonderful , i have two people in the world who belong totally to me. I always careless, forgetting to call, sometimes irritable, snapping back specially at my mom. Sometimes i am so caught up here in my own world that i do not even think of them for times together. An hour ago i stubbed my toe against the table and the first word which escaped my lips was "maa". It was then that i realized how much i miss them and sometimes i feel that it was in those times that i had not thought of them; that i had missed them the most. In our lives we see a range of relationships, from totally chilled out friendships to paissonate affairs to deep filial bonds. As we grow older we start spending more time and our world starts revolving around these people while our parents occupy a backseat in our minds.
Until the day we accidentally stub our toe.
This one was for you maa and baba though i know you dont read blogs.........
hi,
ReplyDeleteyou are right.. two people who are totally for us and somewhere, while rushing for our lives, dreams and desires, we put them on a backseat. I dont know, how I feel when someday my kids will put me on a backseat. :(
the guilt ratio is rising.. i need to do something about it :)
the best thing about exams is there are holidays after that :-)
ReplyDeletewe grow up as the time wheel turns .... ha?
Hope you were able to retain something more than 25 percent in ur brains for the exams ?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy ur holidays...
very true...the two ppl in our lives whose love is so selfless that they dont expect anything from us in return from their love...how can someone love ..care n nurture so much unconditionally....i jus feel so helpless being away from them..they r the ppl for whom i can do anything ..simply anything..if i can live upto their expectations...i would be more than satisfied wid life...
ReplyDeletei m sure u agree....it was very sweet to hear this from u
It takes a bruise to remind us that we are away from our parents. So true. With friends around us, our parents tend to take a back seat. But how many friends came and went in our life. But who have remained since the day we were born are our parents. So nice to read this Gargi. I think this is your best post.
ReplyDeleteWhat you have written here echoes my sentiments. Even I feel guilty for forgetting to call up my home and when my mother complains, I promise to call her up regularly and then, back to dquare one. It's bad but we have become like that in our mad busy world.
