The O Level Experience.

It has been a long and grueling week so far. The mid of the exam is reached,and I use the first liberty I get to share my little ongoing experience with everyone.Don't make the mistake of thinking that the exam is over, as its not.I just have a little free time.

For me the exam started on 10th May.Since then I have been only seeing pages and only pages infront of me. Lets start with the beginning. I stepped out of car to be greeted by the scene of a mass crowd, surprisingly consisting more of adults than students, frantically moving here and there. The astronomical number of adults made me confused of where I am actually.Then I learned that in exams, with every single candidate, at least two guardians are clamped together; this actually is a feature of O level examinations.

I begin my entrance to the examination hall, with biology paper 1 as the first exam. I was checked and rechecked for God knows what by a serious looking guard.The contortion of his face suggests that he was looking for a bomb amid out stationary.Whatever, we enter the bizarre world of examination hall,and immediatly clutch ourselves to save us from the ethereal cold. The intense contrast of the temperature between the outside and inside seriously took a heavy toll in our body.

Seated behind a neat desk,I started observing my environment. The invigilators were like living stone, oblivious to our existence untill the head examiner croaked over the mike and announced the start of EXAMINATION REGULATION.God! How I hate this word!

Then the examiner start the long list of regulations which Im sure goes over the head of evryone present in the room. I, actually, observed that the rate of yawning increases very rapidly during this time. Interesting result huh? And then they give out the questions, ORDERING CRUELLY NOT TO OPEN THEM! What kind of torture is this? The question lies idly infront of me,but I cant look into it! The writing infront me shapes my future, dont they get it? This liitle patch of time is the hardest of all.I have to try so hard not to fold the page a little. Actually,I spend my time trying to figure the question by staring hard through the paper.

When the exam begins, not a single living being exists anymore.Everyone shrinks back into their own cocoon stays for the rest of the period.I also have my cocoon. I think its pretty thick.

Well, thats it. When I came home, after the first day, a recognition hit me. For two years, I had been preparing for this,waiting for the moment to come. And the moment came,apparently, too sooner than I thought.Time passes too quickly. And that,our life is short.

Bermuda Triangle: The Devil's Lair

Many people argue, that it doesn't exist. And, you won't find it in any map.The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation. The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles. The main mystery surrounding the Devils Lair is of unusual and unsolved disappearances o f many ships and planes.According to Llyod's of London reported 428 missing vessels throughout the world between 1955 and 1975.But, the report only contained huge vessels which were insured.Gian J. Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" , later found out 300 mis...

Criss Angel Mindfreak: The Wizard of AXN

I'm pretty sure most of us is familiar with Criss Angel, and with good reasons.He is an American illusionist,magician, escapologist and stunt performer. Note that I wrote illusionist first, cause that's what Criss likes to think of himself. His show, Criss Angel Mindfreak, is broad casted on AXN on Wednesdays, at 16:30 GMT. Believe me, his illusions are mindblowing, and apparently impossible! But that's what Criss is best at;making the impossible seem normal! Allow me to give an example. Criss Angel has set himself the target of walking across Lake Mead,the largest lake in US. And he does succeed.He walks on water for about 200 yards.Now, remember people, its a lake.So it rules put any theories of plexiglass pillars.Moreover, Criss, at the end of his walk, start to sink under the water, eventually disappearing completely! The illusion is simply awesome, and many critics have failed to provide an explanation for this! One explanation says " He had completed construction...

Dream or Reality: Which one should we chase?

Dreams and reality are like the Yin-Yang. Opposite, but intertwined. You will find them mutually inclusive in extreme rare cases of extremely fortunate people. But, for normal people like us, we have to sacrifice one to get the other. Why, you ask? Picture your dream; where do you see yourself? Relaxing in a beach in the Bahamas with a cold drink in hand, with the gentle breeze caressing your tanned fit body? Now imagine the cost of such a vacation and all the other horrendous logistics that go with such a vacation. You get what I’m getting at? So, which one should we give more priority to? Should we open our mind gates and dream the wildest of our dreams? Or should we force our brain to be calculative and practical? After all, be practical and rational will pay your bills. Being an IBAite, I can give a firsthand run down of my experience regarding this issue. Let me start saying that I’m a science person. From a very tender age, I dreamt of wearing a dazzling white lab...
