After d iit, aieee, cet, pu coachin classes n school d time left behind 2 hav a life is limited let alone fun cuz breathin , eatin n sleepin too consumes time na...........so now @ 18 i dwell on wat i ve done 4 fun d past 2 yrs n my memory fails me.............if u don blive me let me describe a typical day 4m d past 2 yrs of ma life.........D day starts wid me groanin in d mornin on hearin d sound of my alarm @ 5.30 ( i ve broken 6 of ma alarms in d past 2 yrs, mornin grumpiness bein d culprit), somehow i manage 2 get outta bed n dress my self rather sleepily 4 tut, @ 6 i m ready n listenin 2 my mom tellin me dat d neighbour's son, also in my class, was up @ 4 in d morn studyin n was'nt" dozing of" unlike me................ ignorin her usual mornin lecture bout my laziness i try findin my kinetic's keys( as usual i ve mis placed them somewhere n 4 now hav 2 use d duplicate so as 2 make it 2 tut on time) ................thus glancin @ clock on d wall i hurriedly move outa d house tryin 2 get d kinetic out of d garage...................... n finally after gettin d stupid kinetic started( my leg hurtin 4m all d kickin) i manage 2 get 2 tut............... in tut as usual i listen 2 sir tellin d boys dat tardiness would not b tolerated d nxt time( bein glad tat i managed 2 get dere on time inspite of all d confusion)Now in tut i'd probably pay attention 4 bout 20-30 min of d 1 n half hour class noddin senselessly d rest of d time. Finally when tut ll b over @ 8.30 i'd b glad 2 come out tryin push d tots of d upcomin tut test ( of who's portions i m still unaware of, lack of attention in class 2 blame, thus makin a mental note 2 call 1 of d guys bfore d test 2 find out) outta my head.................. finally i ll make it home @ bout 8.45 only 2 b told by my mom dat 1 of my frnds had called 2 inform me dat v hav special class 2day n dat i need 2 b in coll by 9.30, cursing my luck i quickly take a shower n try 2 get ready................ by d time i realise that there's nothin ironed its too late n thus donning some dishewelled clothes, grabin somethin 2 eat 4 breakfast n pushin a couple of books in2 my bag i leave home..................... with my mothers words ringin in my ears 2 drive slowly not realisin dat if i drive slowly i'd never make it 2 coll in time. Thus squezzing my way deftly thru d terrible blore traffic i'd finally reachin classes huffin n puffin in a half dazed state( thanx 2 d curses recieved 4md coll watchman 4 makin somebody else's vehicle fall while tryin 2 find a parkin space 4 my own).......................... now classes in coll would start( durin which i mastered d art of sleepin wid my eyes open) durin which i'd concenterate 4 a total of 5 min either @ d beginnin or d end of class dependin on when d teacher would take d attendence( but don judge i don think even d teachers had a clue as 2 wat they were rambling bout) finally coll would get over @ 5.30 ...................I'd make my way bac 2 d parkin lot( glad dat i thankfully din get in2 any trouble in coll) n ride bac home.................. as i would ride @ a good speed along rose-garden road my mind 4 d first time in d day would b @ peace , thanx 2 d lush green trees on either side of d road n cool breeze driftin thru d area, a good change 4m d otherwise preoccupied state it would b in...................... den i'd b bac home glad 2 c dat i hav half an hour more 2 relax bfore mom gets home n asks me 2 study(sayin dat kumar had already started studyin)......................den it'd b bac 2 studies or chem tut dependin on d day of d week................. as usual dinner @ 8.30................... watchin some tv n relaxin 4m 9-10......................... n 4m 10 onwards its tryin 2 get some last min record or homework done n listenin 2 linkin park simultaneously on my ipod.............................finally go 2 bed round 11............. thus u c takin all d above in2 consideration i would lik all those well meanin aunts n uncles who say these r d" wonder yrs " 2 actually pay a closer attention 2 r lives cuz 16 n 17 were 2 yrs strenious, exhaustin n even excitin @ times but rarely sweet...........................
