I'm starting to feel 'it'...

It's the december of the year and I'm starting to feel 'it'. The timelines have started.  :(  (for those who are confused, pls read below.)

This is the time of the year (2 months before the univ exams) when I start to play three altogether different characters SIMULTANEOUSLY !!

The Characters:
1) The Loner
2) The Beggar
3) The Addict



The Timeline of The Loner:


Every one of my classmates would leave me behind (Soo typical of em) and would have already started getting friends with 'The Five Big Fat Assholes'. Those five assholes being Davidson, Bailey, Ghai, Mudhaliar and Shaw, the guys who wrote the text books for final year MBBS subjects.

Thus begins my lonely paddle boat journey across the River of Thousand Deaths, through the Valley of Exam Anxiety. This journey is like Influenza(common cold). Easy to diagnose, with no valid treatment. You gotta live through the constant ache to get it over with.

I mostly never call any of my friends during this time, cos being friends with 'The Five Big Fat Assholes' kinda rubs off on them. They too become assholes in my view. Pravin is the only guy whom I can call at this time, cos he is always paddling nearby me in the journey. Its only in the last phase of the journey, he goes full-throttle on the paddles n gets far ahead of me. Pranesh takes an altogether different path of hyper crazy n hyper religious, Nobody knows where he is or what he does during this time of the year.

I paddle alone in this journey and I go to war alone n under-prepared.



The Timeline of The Beggar:


We have to beg for the fucking 'attendance' to get our clearance for the exams. Thank God !! In this timeline I'm not alone and I've a vast degree of experience. Yup, most of my friends fall into the pit of 'attendance-lack' and we will be doing this begging for four years in a row this time... :)  sooo much of valuable experience !!

But still, the begging sucks. To every department HOD, professor and even clerks n registrars sometimes. Every year they've let us go for the exams after constant begging. Hope this year it happens the same.

Whats more annoying than the begging is, a few of my friends who enjoy as much as me during the academic year, maintain a  80 % attendance !! Ganapathy n Shiva come in this category. They come to nearly all the noon shows to movies, yet somehow they properly maintain their friggin attendance !! Traitors.



The Timeline of The Addict:


Needless to say, in order to survive 'The three butchers of joy'(the stress, the loneliness and the guilt), I usually make myself get addicted to certain things n try to forget the butchers. no no no !! I don't drink or take drugs or eat a lotta junk. My addiction is far more evil and far more enticing. Movies and TV series.

Think about it,
1) I'm kinda a movie n tv series freak
2) They cost nothing n are easily available (unlimited download you see..)
3) They are available right at my room and nobody else has to know about the addiction !! *wicked smile*

My iMac never gets switched off and will be continuously downloading all the evil in the world (ie., movies n TV). I would be seeing as much as 5 movies per day !! n have finished entire seasons of TV series on a stretch !! As I said, ADDICTED.

Thats it about the 3 characters/ghosts of exam time.

So, why am I starting to feel 'it' ?? Cos I've already started living one of the characters, 'The addict'. Saw 9 episodes of How I Met Your Mother and 8 episodes of The Big Bang Theory, in the last 2 days... 'The begger' will show up when the attendance registers are dusted off and 'The Loner' will have to wait until january of 2010.


P.S. - "Errr... where the fuck are the timelines u said abt??" You may ask. Wait For It. Oh yeah, there is one more post, equally depressing n more pathetic than this one coming up with detailed timelines of all the three characters... :P
