“trembling hands, shaking feet,
as soon as you approach,
your classroom’s seat’’
these are a few lines from my self composed poetry, ’’examination blues’’
anyway, this is the dreaded phase that we all have gone through …
and the more unfortunately ones, like me still facing. Gosh! scary isn’t it
anyway, now as sunshinegal ‘s life has been surrounded by dark and
loomy clouds of pre boards and boards, she tries to locate the silver=lining
and ofcourse share it with fellow sufferers.
Ways to crack the dreaded word, “EXAMZ”:-
1.E for ease:- yup baby, you got it! Ease yourself, that is the first mantra to
crack exams. With the pressure building, and the anxiety levels soaring
sky-high, you certainly can’t afford to be tensed or sulk during this crucial
phase. Ease yourself, relax, bid farewell to stress and tension and stress.
Go out on walks, don’t cut on all your sports activities, etc. remember, all
work and no play makes jack a dull boy and jill a dull gal (women’s
liberation, you see). So, before you start making your study schedule, first
of all, get rid of all your tensions, peer pressures and the loads of
comparisons. Simply chillax!
2:- X for xtraa efforts:- “karat karat abhyaas toh….jarmati hot sujaan!”
this is one saying that we’ve read since class 1 or 2. they say, “practise
makes a man perfect.”, but, they also say “easier said than done”- is that the
case with you. Fikar not, me too with you, on that part, but, par, kintu,
parantu you and I, i.e. we, have to work hard, no! we all know that there
is no short cut to success. So, give it your 100%, and an added 50%
in this age of ek ke saath ek free. Suppose you lag behind in a subjesct,
say, maths ( haila! I hate it like hell), don’t just dream about excelling in
it, instead, work, go that extraa mile towards achieving success. It’s like
work hard, even if your grey cells retard.
3:-A for avoid temptations:- now this is apparantely one factor, where all
of us falter. Yaa, temptations of all kinds, be it your friends, who make it a
point to disturb you, just when you’re about to study. Buddies, seekho,
dekho… learn to say “no” .When you’re just about to study, your best pal
calls you up and diverts your attention to the latest music video or may be
the latest fashion fad. Please say, a gentle, “I’m busy right now, will ge
back to you later”… also, make it a point to actually get back later when
you’re free, otherwise, parhaai mein toh, you’ll excel, but, friendship mein
baj jayeegi tumhari bell”. So, it’s not actually all that difficult, what say
learn to manage your time, and ofcourese, avoid the temptations, such as
pals, extra hours of T.V.viewing, or that certainly avoidable shopping spree
4:- M for make notes, schedules:- For anything to go well n’ fine,
planning is of utmost importance. Here, I’m talking about making
schedules. Making one is really easy, but, when it comes to getting up at
6:00 in the morning, we easily chicken out of it. Very bad, guys, very bad!
when you promise something, make sure you stick to that, even in case
of the timetable. Another important M out here is making notes. Friends,
just give those pile of reference books a break, a nice break to yourself
from the countless tutorials. Making your own notes, i.e. self study is a
sure shot way to succeed. Mention must also be made of the other most
important M in your life, i.e., your mommy, who apart from helping you
out on the other two M’s, can also help you a great deal with her
love and care (now, now, dad’s also there for all this, okey. )
5:- Z for zeal to do better:- now coming back to my fav and the most
important thingie, which is, the zeal to do better. Yeah, you should have it
in you, the fire, the desire to succeed. Don’t ever underestimate
yurself. always be focused. Remember, you CAN do it, always.
the C-factor, i.e. corage and confidence, is exactly what’s prescribed by
Soojie behen, MBBS. So, strive for the best and work towards it.
Always remember that the will to win, is the will to succeed.
Haaaaan! So, now, that I’ve ended giving you my set of rules, like, tanuja,
Here’s hoping that your big venture, i.e the exams, don’t get a luke warm response like rules, instead, hope ur big venture-exams creates magic at the box office, amen! side by side, since today’s saraswati pooja, pray for me too, naa. after all, I have my BOARDS, veryyyyy soooooon!
So, enjoy n get rid of those blues…examination blues…and turn others
green with envy, with your results.
All the best,
And jai hind!
-ciao,
soojie:-)
