how was your exam?

the irony of this question is something that i never understand....so well u've obviosly stayed up all nite in the hope that you finish the course once forget even goin thru everything again...anyhow so you fight your way thru the exam...hmm...so finally the battle is over...or is that so? so as i talk to my other friends n well it was bad after all...just then i feel...damn i should've studied a bit more...so with a sour heart i start moving towards my place...i turn on my cell!!! i recieve a few msgs...they r like u have 3 or 4 missed calls....i know who it is...damn i need sleep...damn my exam is stil not over...n just then d fone rings...hmm...well on the screen it reads DAD...so well y should i be scared of DAD...its not as though he'll shout or possibly come out of d fone n grab u by ure coller n bash u up...anywaz so this is a general conversation with my dad after an exam...

me:Hi...(my voice a little trembling here)

dad: hi beta...how was ure exam?(the bomb...)

i need 2 b quick yet not very true nor very wrong....hard to do one mite think...

me: umm...well it was ok...

dad: umm...so r u passing?(damn that was a little too harsh and blunt)

me: umm...yes of course(not sure at all though)...its just that made a few calculation mistakes...

rite here i just know what is up for me....since i was a kid i have heard this statement with certain minor variations in tones and intensities...

dad: thats always your problem...never thorough with ure studies...what did u do all this while...you had so much time...but u have to spend time with ure friends, download music and movies....i am sure if this was a movie you would'nt have made any mistakes with the dialogue...

my face although dark does turn red....i have heard this a billion times...i just hope he would change his dialogue...after all its not a movie where the dialogue remains the same...anyhow no point on fighting back...the lecture would only move into a dimension that would certainly leave me bashed up to an extent that even an ant would be able to bash me up....

dad(still continuing): so how much are u getting?(goes in the same breath...just that the voice is a little lowered)

what was worse i am thinking here...

me: don't know have'nt yet calculated...(smart huh!!!)

dad: still 40%,50%,60%....how much?(ah! 40%,50%,60%....thats a rising tone i can add it to some symphony rite now, this entire convo will make a symphony that even mozart won't be able to match)

me: umm...60% toh i will get...(suddenly i want to go back n check my paper)

dad: alright...when is your next exam?

me:the day-after....(almost reached the boundry line now)

dad: ok...go home and study properly beta...i don't want to hear such excuses again...(that was a caring satatement...a lil too late...hmm...)

me: ya...ok...

dad: ok bye...

me: bye...(uff....i feel the air around lighten up now...my brain n heart seem to relax....)

n finally my exam is over....!!!
