PLEASE EXPLAIN....

"You may be written this way

Spun in strands sewn in thread

Blood woven to the child you once were

Huddled in the fold of night

And the demons beyond the corner

Of your eye stream down

A flurry of arachnid limbs

Twisting and tumbling you tight

To feed upon later.

You may be written this way

Stung senseless at the side of the road

Waylaid on the dark trail

And the recollections beyond the corner

Of your eye suckle in the mud

Dreadful fluids seeping

From improbable pasts

And all that might have been.

You would be written this way

Could you crack the carcass

And unfurl once more

The child you once were"

In my dreams I come face to face with myriad reflections of myself, all unknown and passing strange. They speak unending in languages not my own and walk with companions I have never met, in places my steps have never gone.

-Rhivi saying

Just this once more....

'Just this once more.....more specifically 'just this one exam more' It's what I said to one of my friends not 2 days ago (in one of those phases of non-stop grumbling that we regularly fall into)n pat came the reply-'kab se yahi sun rahen hain yaar'.That got me thinking ...he'd hit the nail on the head I realised.Afterall how many times have I heard it....how many times am I likely to hear it again.

Back when I was in 10th, all I heard was 'jus this one exam' , n then 11th -12th...imagine the fun you'll have -girls- parties the whole gamut.That did'nt exactly turn out as planned, don't get me wrong I had a lotta fun in school,just ...........that expectations were'nt met-my classmates'll know what I mean:).

Then came the competitives...the IIT-JEE's n the AIEEE's....n once more the promise came "just this once more",once more n you're set for life....afterall beyond these competitves lay COLLEGE...n all the images that that one word brought along with it(mostly conjured up due to repetitve watching of the American Pie series).Now college has been fun...a lot of fun....just that again...expectation's were'nt met.We've had to work hard.....none of the easy going, no padai world that I'd imagined for myself.And ofcourse with college  came the term exams....every 6 months being subjected to torture(definetly not part of the college dream by the way).But then you put up with it, coz u know, do well up untill the 3rd year n then you get a cushy placement , so i did that.And well all i can say is the less said about placements the better...

N now again i'm back in square one.....futher studies.....CAT to be more specific.n once more the line is pulled outta the bag."just this once more",n thenI'm set right...15-20 lacs a year, lot's of travelling,Spanish ladies,Greek yatchs  and what not....right???I dont think so....

Even assuming I get through( :) ), I doubt the IIM"s or any decent management college for that matter let's you lounge about all day sipping coffee.And I'm also pretty sure that this isn't going to be the last protracted period of studies and/or hard work required of me.It's gonna be another 2 years of working my socks off.....n after that...I dont know.Something else that'll involve me working my socks off....

So the next time I hear "just this once more"...well.......... yea right buddy
