It seems just too difficult for me to face the upcoming exams(atleast not so soon). Neither has the horror of my board exams left me nor the frisson of my first days in college. everything seems to be happening very soon. time, as it is said, is just flying away!!
Its time again to study(or rather ONLY study). The problem-i do not understand where to start from. In addition, Naresh sir's words still ring in my ears. His statement about the difficulty in scoring(in journalism) has gotten me even more worried. Not that it was his intention but I am no more banking on journo to boost up my overall scores. Nonetheless, I shall work much harder on the subject now.
Sadly, I already feel tired of the mid-sems. Even worse, my mom has been so horrified with my exams- I seem to be less worried about my exams!! now, what is its positive outcome? I am embraced with 'extra' care so I dont fall sick and I write my exams well. And whats the negative outcome? ten minutes in front of the television or on the phone could cost a lot!!

for the past week,i have found myself worrying less about problems of politics,crime or even the traffic in bangalore.Other aweful realities across the country have caught my attention.
The mean-spirited act of the 'butcher' doctors in Delhi which was brought to the surface by CNN Ibn has shattered the nation off its morals. Ironically, many underlying facts about this story have remained unexplored. Ever since the story broke out, everyone has been constantly taunting the doctors(not that I say it is wrong). Equal attention, I thought must have been given to the display of the scene of poverty in this country. We have chossen to ignore such underlying matters in the story, to a great extent even the media has ignored it. The media has only been attracking more viewers by stressing on the act of the doctors alone. The whole story is alarming. We, as a society must immediately work to improve the sad state of poverty. The news channels can only bring out the stories, action must be taken by all of us.
