Voices in the Exam hall

By at


Exam hall is not a silent place, ironically. Some are real and some are hallucinatory. I intend to capture the mind voices inside an exam hall, here in my own imagination., as I was blessed to be invigilator on a valentine’s day.

The following are mind voices of the students at various stages of the exam.

Immediately after entering the hall..

“..Dear God, you have been kind enough to me, in all the previous papers. So I took advantage of your kindness and came unprepared, hoping that you would help me, as always. You, omnipresent God, present everywhere, in the Pillar, in the Wall, in the pen, in the paper, in my friend sitting next to me,  even in the invigilator, just don't desert me in desperate times!..”  - The Optimist 

“..all the previous exams have been tough; So I don't expect me to clear it through this year. So I don't believe a prayer would get me through. But still, just for the sake of my stupid customary beliefs, I am praying and hoping the paper shall be easy..” - The Pessimist

“..today is Valentine’s day and look at my fate..to sit here patiently and wait for the clock to run down three precious hours..what a tragedy..what a waste of time..How can we spend the evening? Roche park? Hyper-market? Aadvarks?and dreaming mode on..” - The Realist

On seeing the Question paper..

“..I should have never doubted my intuition.. look what questions have come - just all the ones I left unread..sighs..ok lets check on my friends..What? Same empty look..this is gonna be a disaster..” - The Doubter

“..Sees the paper and the face brightens up..Types in key words to search his memory..Searching…still searching.. Sorry no search results found in the database. Wtf.. I studied just before I entered the hall.. Sorry your data might have been corrupted.. Kindly protect your data by backing up for a long time, the next time.. Your Inconvenience is deeply regretted..“ - The data analyst

“..Ok. Let’s try hypnosis.. Lets roll back our ages and try to learn something from the past.. Now I am 19 year old. I am studying pathology. Do I have anything relevant to this question.. No.. Also you should know how you cleared your second year..Ok let’s try one year back still… Anatomy. Physiology. Blank!..” - The Time traveller

“..I can’t even understand the question.. how and what am I gonna write ?..Ok.. Will this invigilator help me? Is he student friendly? No. How can he be? He is so strict in the classes and the wards. No wonder, we are screwed. Wait.. Look at this. He’s talking to other students.. okay..here comes our ray of hope..lets try to make eye contact with him..Omg. Look at our fate. On a fine day, like this, coincidentally a Valentine’s Day, I m writing an exam and trying to read the face of my examiner rather than my lover… sighs..this is why I should never have opted for this course..sighs again…” - The clueless



“..Soon after I finish this exam and become a doctor, I shall upgrade myself through ages and degrees and ranks..one fine day, when I end up as the controller of examinations, I shall pledge myself not to hold any exams on Valentine’s Day .. yes, I am serious, not kidding!!” - The Ambitious 

“..Oh, No..with all these theory exams over now, I have no pretty reason to continue with this long grown beard..why is that, they don't allow this beard in practical exams?.. hmmm crazy people.. Now I have to shave this all? Even, I can’t see my face like that bald with no beard.. ”- The lazy Beard lover

“..Okay..the paper seems to be pretty cool..I think I should clear without any difficulty..I also seem to have a lot of time..hmmm..Let’s see how my crush is writing.. Wow(blushes).. shortly after, the chief examiner announces, “LAST 15 M NUTES, tie your paper and write” HOLY CRAp..What have I done.. “ The Dreamer


“I should try my hand at script writing or creative writing, if at all I fail in this exam and profession..I can feel so proud of myself for having written this exam with absolutely no knowledge..many many congratulations..” - The Story Writer

And finally my mind voice, “Lets go to the bank straight and deposit this huge money of Rs.75, given as the special invigilation fees, for a painstakingly three hours invigilation..after all you don’t get to earn this much everyday..God, I am so lucky..” - Sarcasm intended.

Dig into the past

Fly with me...

Will you follow my tail? Fly with me Take my wings free. I will take you somewhere, where there is nothing. No air to inhale, No water to quench, No body to be caged in, Nobody to envy, Nobody to hate, Everybody to love. But no way back, Yet you can traverse through the other route. Will you come? You will regret having spilt your blood here. Lets make it a memorable voyage! Falling down the Everest, Crawling through green meadows, Floating above misty clouds, Walking on transparent waters, Sleeping with minds closed, Lets derive joy from oddness. You know, the time, you were born, you didn't know, you were born. Likewise, you wouldn't know this too. Its a pleasure;Its an orgasm! Its a freedom from the bondage! How would immortals taste it? How would mortals know it? Poor world! Pathetic souls! Everything gain significance only after its loss. Its not the same with life, though the same with DEATH. Why do you fear to relish an elixir? Come, Lets invade the next Hell! P.S. I a...

ANGEL

I wish to talk my mind to the one.. But I have got none. I wish to blog my mind.. But I haven't got time. I wish to die now.. But I have got burdens. Now I wish to live.. But I sob over my inability. I feel fragile and futile. I am awaiting an ANGEL.. To guide me in the light too.. To hear my inner insane talks.. To perceive the mazes of my mind.. I am awaiting an ANGEL.. But did I avert any already??

Opportunistic Pathogen

Staring at the death , inevitable he still believes, he is capable; The present and the past has been a sorrow; And there will be no tomorrow; He scanned around for a light that would save his plight; It was dark all around and a star fell to the ground; Its intensity adulterated with evil; Now to live , he has to kill; In this survival race, the weak lose their face; The parasite invades the host; An upsurge among the pest; On a wrong axis, the people revolve; His dark soul will never evolve; From the bad , the good deflects; From his body , the malignant image reflects; He lives a day more at the cost of an inocent core!

Love, Live and Care...

Why did I come back, when I had already waved goodbye? This is not the first time, its happening with me. I had fought with people,verbally and mentally(with silence),who mean so much to me in my life, only to find them knock my doors again the next day. I have had no other option but to stand with my arms wide open to welcome them back and forget everything that had spilt on the ground. Bcoz letting them out is just like ripping ur vertebrae out and feeding them to the dogs. For they hold inside them is a part of you, your secrets, your thoughts. And losing them is just weakening yourself. And I come back here to the blogville not for any of the above reason, simply bcoz I had run out of souls to share my soul. I know its just a temporary phase and everyone will have to face the temporary shift. I had myself been involved in consoling people here whenever they feel low and it was just my turn to be in the receiving end. We human beings need something more important than air. Its CARE...

We might as well be Strangers....

I see in your eyes something malignant. Why don't you spit it out? Right on my face, rather than on my ass. Prick my heart, if that's your choice, from the anterior, though! There's something more worse than hatred, I realize it now, quite late. Its your kiss of indifference, you unleash upon me. The eye of a stranger, you stare at me. Have you lost your past? Didn't our days last? where and why have you gone? Am I incompatible with the souls of the universe? Don't ever prove me wrong! I can move without you. I have shoulders to cry. Hands to hold. Friends to hug. But remember one thing, I never said "Goodbye"..... this post is dedicated to my roomie , for having been on my side through hard times, erasing my loneliness of me, though he didn't know whats going inside me!

i Don't Exist..

The eternal love for silence only aggravates the questions of the others.. The questions that never reap answers, & the answers that never trigger the solutions.. And the hunt goes on for a prey that never existed.. The prey, I pray for.. The prey, I pray to.. The prey, I stare into, inside my own reflections.. The race between the two titans, of the wicked mind & the mighty heart .. one would be sold a slave to the other.. & I would be indebted to the thorns forever, for I let my mind assassinate the heart!! It seems I am flawed again, as usual.. Trying to grasp the enigmatic human nature , all I gained was a little heaviness atop.. & all I lost was my soul for rent !! Simply.. i Don't Exist ..
