My first set of mid term exams finished today. A week back I was pretty tensed about them, I had absolutely no idea about how they would be. Lo and it is all over and I am once more ready for the classroom toil.
The first thing I did after today's exam was well, grab some snacks. One week of compromise on food had bothered me a lot. He he... Then I went on a long stroll all around the campus. Got to breath some fresh air almost after a long week of struggle and war. It felt good to walk in solitude, all of a sudden. Anyways my Mom down there in Thrissur gave me company. We were discussing over the phone serious stuff that we had missed out on, this week, due to my exam schedules, of course. I think I am updated about almost everything that is happening there now, even better than our Raju in the neighborhood. Well there's no one by the name of Raju in my neighborhood,it is just an imaginary name I frequently used for the 'Use in Sentence' section of Language exams in school.
Hmm...about Mom's company, it feels so good to speak to her for long long hours. Guess she's ma bessssst friend. She never gets bored listening to my trash conversation. In fact she keeps asking me 'What else?' even after my silly prate drains out. Sometimes I wonder how mothers could be so sweet and kind. No matter how bored, she does not ask me to hang up and go to sleep. Or maybe she never gets bored listening to her darling kids. We talked so much today, I got my battery fully recharged, it had drained out almost completely towards the closing ceremony of the mid terms. Her voice felt like music to my ears coz I was in a real joyous mood after the exams. I am sure she was more than happy to hear my happy tone. I did not even notice my strolling speed. It took me just half an hour to go around the whole vast campus today.
And ya another person who gives me similar constant company and calls me daily is my sweet friend Sreedevi. I often end up scolding her for wasting so much money on me. She is the one who updates me on what's happening in Namma Chennai. That is another great relation where ego has played no dirty games ever. We chatter a lot, shout at each other, have funny tiffs once in a while and that is what makes our relation so special. I never think twice before dialing her up, coz I know she would always be ready to listen. When the going gets tough and when you are real far away from home, these closest friends are the greatest solace.
Oh, look where I began and which island have I stopped at now. Again the meandering thoughts, and I have once again strayed away from my topic. Anyways it feels good to put down a few words here. So I am not going to do any editing. For the readers who are pissed off reading my silly posts , 'I am not really very sorry, coz I am here to vent my random thoughts'. But do come back to read my next post and post your worthy comments. ;)
