" When I met a Character......... "

Today was 'supposedly' a big day.

Not for me, but for all those people who would be giving this exam with complete dedication and interest. .....

Today was the MH-CET

Now, for those of you'll know have no idea what I'm talking about.... Let me explain.

This examination, is for all those losers( 'to be' future engineers... And guess what, I might be one of them as well) who apparently think, that it can be easily tackled... and for all those, who have one after the other... given up on IIT, then AIEEE,  BITS and so on... finally end up with this 'so called' final resort.

Well, so, even I was giving this examination. Now, for reasons, I am unable to explain at the moment, I was least interested in this one. For me,it was frankly a waste of my day. I would have sat online, chatted online... or invested my time.. better than going and sitting in a classroom full of over- enthusiastic and scared kids, who were eagerly giving it. 

Well, I have to admit  one thing....

One experience.... in this day... made this day a lot more bearable.

Not because I actually enjoyed the experience...

But because.... I was, in any way, eager for any distraction from the so called exam. 

All of us were seated.. ( I will NOT say seated comfortably. Bad chairs.. with no fans. seemed like hell) And then, the invigilator entered with the papers. She had a VERY fake smile on her face, which seemed to add to my disinterest. People around me,  were looking on frantically.... and all of them seemed nervous. I even saw a few of them closing their eyes and praying. And so, even I closed my eyes and prayed. Though, my prayer... was to the effect that.. " Please God, Help me get through this without losing my head and patience. Please make this experience more bearable..... "

The examination started, and I actually started reading the questions, and a few of them were interesting..... and I solved those.. The rest, looked like absolute Greek to me. And so, I decided in favour of my favorite option for all those kinda of questions - The BIG C

I was done within an hour... and then, I started looking around. One guy, was chewing his nails in nervousness. The one behind him, was gazing out of the window. Another one, had  closed his eyes in concentration.. and was seemingly  solving the questions mentally... ( And, he looked mental too) 

Well, it was a lazy hot afternoon.. and the fans had just started working.... and I was starting to feel sleepy.. Last night, had not gone too well... I was up till 2 at night.. and then... had finally got about a 4 hours sleep.......

And then, It started.........

For a minute, I was slightly abashed...

and then puzzled...

And this puzzlement,... soon turned to surprise....

When I realized, that the guy sitting right behind me........

Was singing!

And this surprise, soon turned to irritation.. !

It wasn't even like... he was singing something nice. And the voice, was NOT making me sleepy... Rather, it was getting on my nerves. And he was a total nuisance!

I was subjected to a half an hour torture of horrendous and dreadful singing! He began with a song like " Character Dhiila" ( Now, for those of you'll who have not heard this one... Please try not listening to someone actually singing it.. else you will be soon writing a post like this! :P )

 And then, he went on to some weird Marathi songs, whose names I had not even heard.

My plan of having a small nap, went completely down the drain.....

He was continuously humming and singing  the song.. and then, when I thought, that maybe he had finally stopped.. I put my head down...

But Alas! Within the next few minutes... He began again......

Aarghhhhhhh...

I turned around..... And gave him a look...

( Trust me, any 'normal'  guy would have just seen that look and shut up)

But, the look was completely lost on him. 

And he shameless went on and on.......

So, all in all, he not only made sure, that I had the most tedious time ever, but also made sure, that I would not have a minute of peace... and as mentioned.. my sleep was already disrupted beyond measure...

At the end of the exam, I was the first one to get up, and get out of the place. For a minute, I felt like going and confronting him, and telling him to never do something like this next time...

But, then... I thought.... " Why make someone else lose out on the opportunity of listening to a  SUCH A" Promising  singer" 

And now that you have read this...

My parting advice to you is.....

Next time, you ever go for any examination, and are done with everything early....

Please,  DO not disturb those poor souls who are hoping to sleep in peace.......... and if you ever feel like trying out your singing skills on anyone.... make sure, it is NOT in a examination hall! :P
