~*The Board Game*~

The wait is going to be over soon. X results will be out this week, God knows on which date. Although there are too many rumors:25/27/28/04(!!)..I am absolutely confounded. All this hulla-bullo over the "boards" raises a question in my mind: Is the tension really worth it.? Do these exams measure one's potential? I think not. Personally, I have never had a problem with studies: it comes intrinsically to me, almost natural. But I don't like the medium of education here. They just make us literate, not educated. And there is a BIG difference between the two. If we take examples of some famous personalities, we find that though they didn't excel in studies, they made it to the top. Of course, exceptions are always there. Here, I would like to draw a parallelism between the two homophones: A board game and the board exams. I am fascinated by their striking similarity.

Everyone of us (I believe) has played a board games in their childhood:l ludo, monopoly, business, checkers, you name them. There is a start, there is and an ending, there are strategies to follow, and you gain, you lose. But no matter who wins, all of us have to finish the game and reach the end point. During boards, you start studying sumwhere, den stop it after the exam, you follow sum rules n we all get the results. I  have never liked board games much, they make me bored(hey.!!..another homophone)... Although I perfectly understand they(exams) are important, and I have put my best efforts into it, but, a time will come when I won't remember the results but that journey of last two months. As for the advantages, board exams also test how capable of one is of hard work. After all, intelligence is not everything, and with the addition of HOTS, one needs to apply their brains as well. But inspite of all that, I am anxious about the results and a bit scared too. God knows whats going to happen..!!
