Examinations have the power to alter your thought process. One moment you might be the biggest business innovator the world has ever known and the next you can end up in a labyrinth of intertwining thoughts that surely leads up to some bizzare fantasy. But having said that, I must come back to the point.
The recently concluded 7 day misadventure which the world referred to as exams brought out many a alien personalities in people I know. But surprisingly I was able to hold out for 5 consecutive days (that is what I would like to think!!). But the sixth day brought with it the events that I can best describe as ridiculous. On eve of my geopolitics paper, I had a divine idea of exploring beyond the forbidden (The books and presentations). Whether I was captivated or had lost control of my mind, I ended up cramming my head with substantial nitty gritties of geopolitics (That doesn't, shouldn't and wouldn't mean that I would get good marks in it). With a burdened head and light feet I decided to turn in for the day (which was technically another day) and left the air conditioned luxury of library for my humble room. And the first thing that I saw upon entering was a peacefully sleeping roomie.
Yet in his peace, I somehow figured out a deep intent of malice and in no time a map started dancing in my head. It was the map of India and Pakistan with a highlighted LOC and POK (I hope every Indian knows about them). My dear roommate had taken a posture of diagonal occupancy which due to his size and bulk had become a semi used triangular bed space. Adding further royalty to the posture was his head which crossed over into my bed space (#territorial). On a fine day this would had gone unnoticed, but this was not a fine day. Immediately it seemed to me as if he was the very personification of Pakistani government trying to hold on to Kashmir when vast north western parts of their own country (my roommate's unused triangular region of bed) are not under their control. Siezed by jingoism and geopolitics (my subject), I decided to take matters (my roomie's head) in my hands and set things right!!!!
This resulted in a broken sleep, a sense of achievement and a revelation of absurdity!!! Damn it, it would do me a whole lot of good if I imagine a bit lesser!!!
