"One-four and a half"th there!!!!

The four and a half years of studying medicine is the longest,most difficult,a nerve-racking,mentally pressurising period for a student................................... or so they say!!! ;)

When you realise that you have one year less of it now,you feel ecstatic!!!



I come back home.Amma comes out to open the gate.I find something weird.Amma is grinning----from ear to ear.Then i realise.Results out right? i ask her.She says yes.I close my ears because i dont want to hear anything more.I run upstairs,turn the computer on.It takes forever to get connected to the website(Murphy's law of life--You want something really really badly,thats when you dont get it!!!).I can hear the phone ringing in the next room.I'm not even budging from my place,it can wait!Finally,finally the result page comes.All i can see is "pass" written all over the page.The feeling is euphoric!Thats it--that is the last sane thing i could see!



I can just see blurring faces around me,all with something white glaring out--must be the teeth.I cant recognise anyone.I can hear muffled voices in the background,all yelling some very familiar word--sounds like congrats!The phone in my hand is beeping away to glory.My brain ceases to function and words fail to form.I become like early man--just shouting cries of victory and jumping all over the place!!!

Just one thought running over and over inside my head---i passed??



Next day:

I wake up.The hangover is terrible.I could'nt sleep well last night because i could'nt sleep at all! Hope it was all not a dream! I go and put on the computer again and check my results.Pass,indeed!! WHOA!!It sinks in now!!! Bloody hell,i'm through with one year!!!

That's great!! No more answering the questions of some of those khadoos 1st year lecturers,who you dreaded even looking at.No more getting yelled at by every other security guard in the corridor(i mean,cmon,we're no more the baby juniors now--i think that counts for something!!).No more getting yelled at in the bus,because we get to have juniors onto whom we can shift the blame(hehe).No more getting shouted at by all those attenders in the biochem lab for not cleaning the test tubes.No more being confined just to the college buildings,we finally get to step into the place we actually must be in--the hospital!!

But coming to think of it,we're pretty much gonna miss everything!! Be it all the yellings from basically everybody on the planet,or or all the natak we do in physio lab just to become the subject,so that we get to be the ones to sleep on the bed,or the times when some lecturers have yelled at us saying nobody is going to marry us if we go on harassing the poor attender(heheh)..

And of course,our dissection time.After having stayed in the dissection hall for practically half the year,it's going to be pretty sad to leave it.yeah,it's going to be tough to leave behind all the memories of our dissection table!Especially our table,which was easily the only table that has had SO much fun,considering how not even a single lecturer bothered to even come our way.Yeah,we were the "outcastes" and proud of it too!! :) Be it the times we've played antakshari(read "all the time"),or all the "birthday gifts and surprises" in the dissection hall,or the times(to the power infinity) we've tried consoling sowmya,who herself would'nt know why she's crying,or the times we've spent laughing our asses off with the goddess of mimicry-sheena at her best,or the times we've spent rolling our eyes at moy's pjs and pole dancing skills,or the times we've all spent teasing the hell out of somo and sowjanya,or the times we've tried to make sneha laugh,ACTUALLY laugh and not that stiffled rib-breaking thing she calls a laugh,or the times when sindhu and vidya would have had enough of us and gone to the other end of the table to try studying but end up getting lured back towards us in the end,or the times with supriya's never-ever-ending laughter(angelman's syndrome,indeed!!)........Man!!gonna definitely miss it all!! Sad that we won't be spending as much faltu time together as we did in our 1st year dissection table no.6 --- "sixy chicks",indeed!!!



First year has been a total ball!!! It has'nt been half as tough as what people made it out to be----what with the never ending speeches of dedication,sincerity,hard work,perseverance,blah,blah,blah............................words that give me the heebie-jeebies!!! The only word that could best describe us as we were in the first year is -- JOBLESS!!! And i believe that if we continue putting in our maximum efforts in the coming years,we could easily give an inferiority complex to mr.govinda for being more jobless than him!! heheh...



Well one down----- three and a half more to go!!

Cheers!!!
