Inertia

Inertia-the tendency of a body to oppose a change in it's sate, whether stationary or in motion.

Now the full meaning of this word- well I understand it just about 2-3 weeks before the

 exams.Cause that's when it becomes inertia of the mind.

Quite simply put, my brain has been in such a state of lethargy throughout the semester that when the time comes for it to show it's worth....inertia....nothing , for the 1st week of my preparation I go through barely 2 pages a day if that.I know I have to study, I know I'm in deep deep trouble, I know I can't afford to waste any time, but the knowing doesn't help me at all.My brain just refuses to work

Take today for instance-barely 2 weeks to go before my prac's start, half a dozen journals to complete, a project and an assignment due and yet here I am writing a lousy blog that no one's going to read.And even as I'm writing this blog , I'm trying to find someway to while away tonight, to postpone the studying to tomorrow... it's quite amazing the heights of laziness that my brain can force me to reach, it truly is.

But then I guess at some point of time , the inertia does wear off, and the 2 pages a day becomes 2 chapters...only problem is more often than not,by the time the inertia's gone, I'm in way way over my head.

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.

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
