EGGzams!!

Every year, for every student, comes a time when they run out of time. A time when everyone feels he is suffering from a short term memory loss, a time when everyone hates 2 and half hours more than the entire year,a time when one hates god, when at every moment one feels that his future depends on what he does in the next half hour(though actually it wont ever be!!), a time when the predicament induces a chagrin that persecutes for long, a time when we run out of words, numbers, names, expressions!! This is how i can define the most dramatic moment (a collection of moments, rather) in a student's life, Exam. I prefer calling it EGGzam.
How long could i run away from it, the amnesia that lasts for not more than 3 hours. It was a paper i never liked, (as is the case most of the times). As always, the whole semester i was idle, work-less, worthless, and thanks to the university had 3 days to prepare for the paper(every engineer loves the university for justttt that!!). This is how i studied...rather, this is how you contract a 3 hour amnesia:

Day 0(after the previous paper): 3 din chhutti hai!! aaaj rest!!!!! bahut mehnat ki aaj! I deserve rest!

Day 1: pehle hi din kya padhne ka bey!
call 1: Sid, meri VBD tere paas hai.?
call 2: Damya, meri VBD ghuum gai, extra VBD jama sakta?
call 3: kaddy, me aata tere ghar raatko, mujhe kuchhhh to samjhana, meko kuchh bhi nahi aata!!

Day 2:Aaj section A karta, kal section B, hogaya!! wow what a plan!!
call 1: Sid, kya padh raha.?? kab padhega.? hao kya??? chhod fir me bhi shaamko shuru karta!! kya karraha.?

Day 3:kuchh nahi aata what to do?? what to do?? section A karu ki B.?? shit!!!
call 1: Sid, fattt rahi bey! kuchh bhi nahi aaraha...papers dekhe kya??
call 2: Kad, page 433 dekh, meko kuchh bhi nahi samjha bey!! jama to batana...fattt rahi bey!!
call 3: Damya, hello!! hello!! soya hai kya.? achha theekay soja soja...

And after all that, as everyone would do, pray.!!!! Pray that you sit on the second last bench, pray that section A has all 5 questions on unit 1, pray that it would be the simplest paper ever, pray that the paper has many mistakes so you would get many marks for free, pray that your neighbor has chits, and lastly, pray that the paper gets postponed!
I did all that and in the end, forgot everything!! The paper was the worst i ever saw, all positive attitude etc, drained off. I hated the 3 hrs more than the whole year, i ran out of time, i felt that the whole of my future depends on what i write now, I hated God, I was running short of words names equations, the predicament had induced a chagrin...I was in the middle of the EGGzam...

...I was suffering from the 3 hr amnesia.

War at our doorsteps....inside we sleep.

This weird thought came in my mind when i was watching the 60th National day celebration by China. It was by far the biggest show of military might ever, more than that i had the feeling that i share with many, that it was a show for the world to see. It was a warning to the US and India not to mingle with them or else this is what will play with you!
A really bad feeling persists in my mind that there will be war in not much time. A war that wont be good for India by any means. Who knows, may be a repeat of 1962. Certainly, we won the war against Pakistan in '47, '65, '71 and also in '99, but the situation now is hell different. China has developed like a virus, from nowhere to everywhere. Pakistan has developed its army thanks to the timely aid given by stupid Americans. The US is facing the worst of the recession, and is still spending billions of its money in the much acclaimed but no result cum never ending "War on terror". I wonder how much money they will have in coming years with such a high expenditure.
Nepal, India's supporter in international politics for all these years has a Maoist Government that hates India. Bangladesh has already been sending in terrorists in the east through support from (father)Pakistan. Myanmar never liked India. SriLanka is already torn to pieces. And Now, if War breaks out...God knows...no..everyone knows what would happen.
The moment China attacks India, for its claim on Arunachal and Assam, Pakistan no doubt would seize this golden opportunity(they are well known for that), and attack India from the Northwestern front. Bangladesh and Burma may join Chinese hands( China has been working on that for years). Nepal may betray, who knows. Americans would be forced to support Pakistan(for all AID they've been giving) but since they too are against China, may refrain from doing anything! America, as they have done in both the World Wars, would stay and watch. And would enter only when it nears its end.
So, who will come for India's rescue?? EU?? why? Russia?? They are already starving, still they might support, but China may overpower them(I hope not!). We will be at our own risks. India will have to fight it out all by itself. The moment there is support from Russia, North Korea would help China. Israel, Iran may help Pak, EU may at that stage help India with material. And in no time....it would be a World War. And remember India, Pak, China, Russia, N.Korea, USA, all are equipped with Nuclear weapons!!

And here we are today, finding water on Moon!!! Spending 500cr on Statues! Worried about Austerity!!Pilots fighting for salaries!! People in our own lands don't have water, and we spend 450 cr for finding water on the moon!! And no one cares about where Indian Army stands in technological development. We still use MIGs bought decades ago, Bofors bought in 80s, Tanks used in 72!! Indians seem to be worried about the Champions Trophy. Worried about Rakhi Sawant's marriage! Who would be the next Roadie!!


Hell!.....wake up!! or you would never get a chance to ever wake up from sleep...
