Enchanted Strings

Okay, one month more, still I am listening to Broken angel.Computer is down and being an eighteen and a half year old is not the easiest thing in the world.

The exam has taken us closer to damned. People are happy when I get a sum wrong  and they look desperate when I smile.

I never thought for one mad second that I’d wish my school days would elongate. Three years ago, schooling was bullshit. But now, a part of myself will be left with my alma matar when I leave her in two months.

Life has this bad habit of coming up with what we hate the most, the reality.

We build worlds of our own when we sleep. But alas, 5.30am and you got to study why red has the lowest refractive index in the spectrum. Certainly why should we care about what has the lowest refractive index?

Students do stupid things when the exam is closer, me included. I might steal someone’s slipper. I might shout like mad at our Maths teacher. But you can be quite sure I wont be wearing those enchanted strings around my hand, or ropes.

I can’t see how a piece of string can help us get better marks in a competitive exam, its as simple as that. I don’t have faith in a greedy monk or an unseen so called god telling me I will definitely pass the exam, coz they do not face it, I do. Where is this damn god when it hurts? People are dying in Libya. Haiti has been flattened and Japan devastated. And why should I believe there is a god in this world? Its just the probability.

Anyway I’m not a fool to not understand why a girl wears a string around her hand when the exam is near. The heart can be betrayed easily. You are just trying to say to your heart “All izz well, I’ve got the almighty enchanted string”. Well that was what Aamir Khan was doing. For you it might be good to wear it, but I prefer Aamir’s way of lying to my heart.

Just to make it clear, everyone has the right to wear whatever you want, but yet the signs are not good.

Religion is killing our country. Or to be more precise, people are using our great philosophy as a religion to kill Sri Lanka.

  1. So we have once again, the topic of religion in here 😉

    1. Check your spelling & grammer errors! This is a must!
    2. Nicely written. Especially the frustration of the students.
    3. Try to remain coherant. Don’t let your writing lose the flow aa and when your thoughts change. Uncool.
    4. I like that your writing gets me thinking.
    5. Keep up the good work! 🙂

    • I proof read and edited but they have not been updated it seems. Thanks and I’m trying hard to keep track but it’s so hard!

      • Keep trying then. Small tip. Type on a word doc or something & then copy on to the site.

    • should the articles be longer than this? cz the introduction is half the article!!

  2. Being a student, being a believer! This is you. Love it machan!

  3. What a note! MARVELOUS! Dil you just don’t get a group of words together……….you write it to the heart! Go on……….do write to the hearts of people! Great work! Keep it up!
