It will be around 6PM evening,Decided to "BURN THE MID NIGHT OIL", for my semester exam. Asking mom to wake up me at 8PM. My mom also aware of my tomorrow exams. I said her that I am going to study the whole night and so I need at least 2hrs of sleep. Then she asked me to eat, giving plate full of upmaa. I got escaped from eating upma by saying that I will sleep soon if I eat at night. My mom's love made me to drink a glass full of milk.
Then I hurried myself, that at least I should start to read by now.Everything was set ready my notes and book but I am in a great dilemma to select, what to read first. I started disturbing my friends then I get to know about some important questions. Finally I started to read at 9.00pm. I wonder, how time runs faster at night. 2hrs gets over by reading 2 chapter important questions.
I feel a little dullness, so I need to bounce myself, a little water is enough to refresh my mind. I moved silently to the kitchen, everyone were in deep sleep. I don't want to trouble them, so I walked like a blind without any stick. I stamped on my brother's leg in the dark room. My brother shouted out of pain. He knows that the only culprit is me. It made me to put a wide smile on my face. At last I drunk glass full of water and went to study room. I can hear my mom's continous cough and I made her to drink some syrup. Again I continued to read for 2 hrs. After certain limit my eyes started to beg for rest. I know it is heavily raining outside, the chillness pleased me to hug the pillow and sleep for some time. I thought I can sleep for 15mins and alarm was set( sakthi kodu.....sakthi kodu.....). 15mins was over, alarm was ringing but that alarm was not enough to wake me up other than my mom's voice. In slumber, I can feel my dad's presence. He took the opened book lying on my face and he covered me with the blanket and he turned off the light. Early morning everyone was awake in home except me. My brother complained to mom, that I was still sleeping rather than studying for exams. My dad stopped him, by saying that she studied the whole night.
At 6AM my mom switched on the light and asked me to get ready for college. I was shocked to see the time. I shouted at my mom and dad ( "Why you didn't woke up me" ). I cried to them that I am not ready to write exam. They consoled me, and my dad said " you are not a loser until you accept your defeat, It depends on you to try or become loser without trying". My dad's encouragement made me ready to face the exam.My brother asked me to watch the news channel. It was telecasted " Anna University exams were postponed due to heavy rain". I was awed to see the news and I was flying out of joy. I regret for my anger and I said the magical word "sorry" (sorry ammu, sorry pa).Then I realised, that our parents don't want to see straining ourselves. They just want us to be healthy and happy. I can hear the song "Sakthi kodu..". ya friends it's my alarm, I laughed at it cancelled it. I changed the alarm ringtone as "la lala lala la la lala Surviva!!! ".
You can't expect, every time fortune would shake hands with you. It happens Once in a blue moon. So be ready for everything, Try to prepare well for exams. don't keep it till the last night.
