All in a day's work!!!

My muscles were tearing apart
I could feel a noose around my neck
Yet someone strangling me
As I tried to free myself,I realised that
One of my hands was hanging by a bit of skin
And the other was being cut with a saw
I stood in my own pool of blood
Helplessly,as holes were being drilled in my head,
Since i was given the boon???
No!bane...called IMMORTALITY!
A dirty and unpleasant creature crawled towards me
And started licking my face
When the whole place got flooded by the echo of a woman's shout-
"It's 7:30!!you'll be late again!"

I woke up only to see my dog licking my face all over cheerfully
How jealous i felt of her!
All she had to do was eat,play and sleep!!
But I had no time to ponder over it
It was a Saturday and weekend exam tension dominated every other thought
I rushed to get dressed,still sleepy
My mom fed me breakfast
While I was trying to mug up the chemistry equations
Which didn't get into my head despite my struggle till 2!!
I took a quick look at my watch
Shut the book and hurried out of the house
Collecting my bag and helmet,on the way,hastily
Leaving my mom angry for having left the breakfast unfinished

The exam had already begun by the time I reached college
I settled down and took the question paper
Only to see that I knew nothing
Though i had studied everything
I had finally completed the exam
But shook my memory again to try my luck in answering anything more
Before the examiner grabbed the answer sheet from me
The answer key had come and everybody got busy calculating their own marks
The comparison had then started as to who scored the highest
Sincerely or insincerely,which never really mattered to anyone!

Everybody's marks were echoing in the class
Until the physics lecturer had entered the class

As he was singing a lullaby as usual,
Few of them fell asleep,
Few were indulged in their own arts and crafts,
Few were composing songs on his beauty,
The first benches were listening to his boring lecture as if paid to do so,
I slowly slid into my world of thoughts...

......."The dream i had
And the happenings in it,
I felt,depicted my life so well!"
My thoughts were all blurred..."I didn't want to study those obscure chapters
But people said I had to!
I didn't want to compete with the sophisticated world
But people said I had to!
Even an extreme optimist would have hated to live life the way I did
But i had to compromise...people said so again!
My conscience kept nudging me all the time
But I had to ignore it!

It was only those two years that we had to stand those jailers alias lecturers
In order to enjoy our so called extravagant freedom in future
But i never knew that such a torturous death was needed to have a better next life!
Pursuing one's hobbies was almost like a taboo there
I loved doing none of what I was doing
But i had to!!
And when questioned as to...",the bell went BANG! and my thoughts retarded there

The next class was maths...my favourite one!
The only class in which I didn't mind competing
Though not until my head was off!!!

Then it was chemistry,
The subject I had always feared,
Something I could hardly understand
Inspite of straining my senses!

And then came the grand part of college,The Study Hour
Which could turn out to be worse
When lecturers were haunting around
As we were forced to study for three long hours at a stretch!!
But it was only pretence of studying,most of the times,
In my case!!!

Finally it was 7...time for freedom!!!
Soon after,I was home and my first job was to go online.
Since it was a weekend,every friend of mine was available there
I forgot the world around me
And kept chatting for hours together,
Rejecting my dinner since I had already had some junk near college!

After a satisfying chat,I shut down the comp
Only to realise that I was the only person awake.
It was half past 12!
The next thing I did was going to bed
Since I had practicals in college the next morning.
"I can never get enough sleep",I said to myself and went off to sleep!

This was a typical day of my NARAYANA LIFE
And if you're wondering when I had the time to write this,it was just one of those shunting physics hours in which
He never bothered as to what we did
And we never bothered as to what he blabbered!!
And when there were no "Spy Cams" installed "in our classrooms"

Indeed this says too little about the thoughts on my mind
Which are very unstable like the electrons in a high energy orbital....Sorry!!!just one more of those damn Narayana Side-effects

NOTE:This is not a suicide note,it is just my one day-autobiography of Narayana Life.
