Calm your Nerves..

Blistering Barnacles!!!.. Thundering Typhoons!!!.. Did I just hear one of my friends crack IIT-JEE (the so-called toughest examination in India) yet again.. just for fun?... lol.. 

Umm.. let me tell you a bit about this 'very friendly' friend of mine who is with me in my very own college. I spent most most of my time with him during my first year and came to know he was appearing for JEE 2009, though I hardly saw him preparing for the exam. I never thought he would make it, as all of us gave JEE last year with all our asses on fire and knew what it was like just to get a rank. He, obviously did qualify last time as well.. but managed a mere 7754 .. and thought of trying it again just to prove that it wasn't his day. I did think he was like the few others who weren't just capable enough of managing a good rank and blamed it all on THE DAY (must 've been april 13th last year, this year it was april 12th).. 

He couldn't even manage his acads well in the college..let alone prepare for JEE.. When I asked him, "Do you think you'll make it through?".. He was like.. "I don't know, I just wanna experience how it feels giving it a try without any pressure of performing well".. He did appear for the exam with no preparation at all. Obviously didn't have any burden on him to perform well 'coz he had nothing to lose ( he was already in one of the best engineering colleges,BITS Pilani, ranked just after the top 3-4 IITs).. And no-one could have ever imagined he would come out with a rank of 6728!!!!!!.. better than his last attempt..God knows what would he have done if prepared ..hehehe!!.. Asked about what was different in the exam-hall this time?.. He says, " I really didn't feel as if I had any fear or pressure of losing anything in my life. People do say you perform well when you have your life at stake, but I think somehow I proved it a bit wrong.",he laughs.

Obviously, he won't go for the counselling for admissions, as he loves his college and all his good friends (including me).. Anyways, what I would like to share with everyone who reads this blog, is that if you really wanna perform well in any exam (be it any kind) of your life, just CALM YOUR NERVES.. DON'T PANIC....Everyone says that.. but then it's really true.. Just chillax and say "LITE LO."...hahahaha!!!... And I promise you, you will never have any guilt of underperforming... 'coz you'll always give the best you can...But yes,do PREPARE yourself for the exam... And that's when you can say "I deserved it !".. And even if it's not a positive result, it makes you realise where you stand and keeps you motivated...!! Cheers!...
