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.

The Others

Just finished watching the fourth episode of season 4 and I noticed a couple of things. The way the episode portrayed the Others was extremely intriguing since the books do not divulge too much information about this icy mystique. In the episode, we first sense that the Others are about to come when we see the poured water freezing in front of Ghost. Whenever the Others appear, the temperature drops or they appear WHEN the temperatures drop. Research about them is scarce, as Samwell Tarly says in book five (small spoiler, sorry!). Whatever the case, they are correlated with a drop in temperatures. If you see water freezing instantly, you better get your dragon steel ready. We then see one of the Other taking the sacrificed baby on a horse to a mountain. This is where things get really interesting. The one riding the horse is the familiar Other. We have seen him before. He was the one leading the attack against the Night's Watch men on Fist of the First Men. But the second Othe...

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...

Here's to Beethoven's 9th

This week was a LONG one. I didn't sleep a single day stress free, but heck, that's what college life is all about! Right now, I am way out of my comfort zone in my class. I'm taking Music in Stanley Kubrick's films, and I have no knowledge about music. I am learning how to describe music and all these new terms. Sometimes, it feels a bit overwhelming, with 2 tests, one presentation and 1 weekend project every week. But in the midst of all these chaos, I found one thing: Beethoven's 9th. I cannot describe the music maestro's 9th symphony and that's what is most beautiful about this masterpiece. Its everything and nothing at the same time. Its life made sound. Its energy made vibrations. Those crescendos takes you up high in the sky and let's you fly. It lets the emotion flow through your body smoothly. And the 4th movement fills you up with this inexplicable happiness. Oh! When they start the chorus, I feel something running through my body- something...
