sweet monalisa

this is about my friend and the exam result pressure (lucky we got through it)

 woke up with a high pressure,

sweaty forehead, racing heart

tearly eyes

just after the great grand clock clocked

midnight!

 

that was the birth of another day!
thursday the 7th of march 2013

didnt remember much of it, didnt realise its significance

till a reminder showed up on ma phone screen 9 hours later

yeh, that was precisely 9:00 am in the morning of the day

you know, "results day 9:00 am"

popping on and off the screen.

thats when the thought clicked home

 

to witness students going through a breathless moment

the butterflys dancing round in people's stomachs,

deap breaths and sighs all coming in rythmatically

till the final show down,

when the results are brought in the room.

eyes turn round following their track as though

its USAIN BOLT who has just passed.

 

aha, then the moment when

realisation dawns people's faces..

seeing how much they are reaping of what they had sown

you know, as he says " you reap what you sow"

thats the english man.
