RESULT DAY- The Restless Day

RESULT DAY

Ever since the exam had started

I used to appraise my performance

Immediate after each exam

It became my daily routine

So that I could guess the result

Before its arrival

Everything was going smooth

Till my chemistry exam

I had chosen the Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics group in XII standard

For my keen intrigue in Physics and Mathematics

But no love for chemistry in my heart

Somehow, I mustered my courage

And promised myself to excel in this subject too

At the very  starting of the session

From that day till the final exam day of chemistry

I left no stone upturned  to put that subject on my finger tips

Actually, what I found difficult in chemistry was

Those arduous chemical equations where a final product forms.

Compound formulas not less than a mystery for me

 I was a mediocre in chemistry

And I accepted this veracity in no time

Commenced my journey to exam with vim and vigour

By the time passed

I was getting self assured to grasp more than 60% in this battle with elements and periodic table

The Restless Day

Now, the day had finally come

I was anxious still knocking down

The boundaries of fear around me in exam hall

I got the paper, and in first glance

I was overwhelmed by blackout

It was like I lost my cognizance for some moments

Gradually, I gained my sanity back

Vigilantly read the whole paper 

This was the only paper

I did the appraisal even before filling the entries

I started foretelling the outcome like a sage

This sheet is a blot out of blue for me and could be a horrible turning point in breaking me down

Tsunami of thoughts came in my mind and left debris of doubts

While looking at the paper, i was think thinking what to do and where to start from

Because I knew only 30 to 40 % questions only

Eventually, I made up my mind

And attempted familiar questions first

Engrossed in solving the brainteaser for 3 hours

The time came on its edge and the final bell rang

I took the sigh and mumbled what a time it was!

Stood up from the seat and joined my classmates who were discussing the paper.I was just hearing the noise they were collectively making and left the group by just saying bye with heavy heart.

And came home thinking about the havoc I committed

That inferiority didn’t let me slept that night

And likewise I had relinquish so many nights

This was the day my board exam result was going to be announced

Timorousness was peeping through my face

Somehow, I managed to switch on my desktop

Opened the website and put my details there

Internet was slow that day, 

After the hiatus of two minute, a window just popped up with my name , roll no. and other information.

I just scrolled down to the percentage obtained section

It was 78% with a remark keep it up

Then I scrolled up to the subject section to see my marks

Luckily I got distinction in all subjects except the one, as anticipated.

In which I didn’t even get 45 marks

I passed this subject with second division

Which was the sole reason for my down fall

Tears started rolling down my cheeks

I went in despair locked me in the room.

Cried, shrieked and repent

Accusing self for shattering everyone’s expectations

I was passing through hell

But thanks to my family

That fetched me out from prisoning in depression

Made me realized the eminence of practice over numerical figure.

My monkish friends taught me to face glitches staying cool headed .

Their encouragement fueled a fire in me to stand again to stand out.

Today I am an alumnus of IIT Mumbai sharing my once failure turned lifetime success anecdote with you.

I am greatly enjoying the fruits my handwork and determination paid to me.

Always have a glimmer of hope and get your act together.
