Ides Of March
Every year around this time, I go through lot of suffering, mental and physical. The angst is so high that it affects me quite a lot. I run to the loo several times and lose sleep for many days, wake up suddenly at night, get restive, break into a sweat and what not. I curse myself, my colleagues,praise myself, my colleagues,get irritated, think of multiple ways by which I could have done this and that and so on and so forth. Now you may ask me what is so special during this period of time?
Well my dearies, its Result Declaration Time; an annual event when lakhs of students all over India are in state of flux.
To be true to them, they are appearing the schools boards once in their lifetime but I have been appearing the boards since 26 years!!!!!!!
Now I'm sure I have shocked you. You may look at me as a very poor student who could not clear the exams since when.............
Or you may commend my tenacity of taking the boards every year....
What a situation to be in.
But I am gritty and cling on tenaciously; like a limpet.I am sure you have seen those small monkeys who stick to their mothers while she jumps hither and thither.The baby is sanguine that the mother will never let go and there is absolute blind faith and trust.
I likewise cling to the 'faith' that the result declaration day will bring forth laurels and every year move forward with 'trust'.
You see...............I head a school.
