An exam night at tp

The exam nights are the busiest and entertaining nights at tp.
Every one sleeps really late though not all does it for studies
all of us gets our share of fun .I’m taking you to one such
exam night at tp.
I entered the room after fetching a couple of gold’s from
Balettans shop. There were shouts and screams from my
room, I could hear the unmistakable voices of Sonu shereef
and Sarath. Shereef :"shame on you sonu ,starting a fight for
that sl-t ". Sarath: "dude, please don’t remind me of that .Im
livid with myself for being apart of it and that too for such
an unjust cause". Sonu started shouting:” I wasn’t fighting for
her it was for my pride and prestige". Sarath: "damn you, stop
making such lame excuses and start admitting facts we all
know what it was for”.(The same old story don’t these guys
ever get tired, but then these fights are always funny so I
contributed my bit). Me: "shereef, don’t you know sonu is a
shameless creature. And sarath, you still havent realized he
wont admit facts shame on you ". Sonu: "fuck off, you cs
peace of shit your room is next door". In the midst of all this
fight I could see one guy who was peacefully completing his
portrait and admiring his work. Yes I’m talking about the one
and only moopan. I admired him for his work and entered next
room after all one "fuck off" is better than many. Shinto and
suppu were discussing about some weird stuff, some thing
related to ada. What the heck? It was way out of my bounds
so I just sat there waiting for their discussion to be completed.
After their hi-tech discussion I asked Shinto to teach me the
first module .Starting part was ok then Shinto’s words seemed
to me like narration of a Tarantino movie so I slowly retrieved
from the room and went to choris room. Something
extraordinary was present in his room an air of calmness ,
peace and sanity in the middle of all the tensions of exam.
Chori was lying on his bed and was studying. Don’t be so
surprised its 705 last exam of the season(sorry not the season
but the last of semester 7 for me chori and kanjan the exam
season just doesn’t end .) And his mobile was next to him hope
you get the situation .I made myself comfortable on the bed
next to his. We laid there for a while. After an hour or so of
perfect silence chori asked me "aren’t you writing the exam?"
I didn’t answer. What is the point of answering, the answer
was well known to both of us .The silence continued and I
started getting bored inside the room so I went to the hall. On
my way I could see kanjan begging to Shinto "da explain me
the first module. Shinto “no” . Kanjan "please man" Shinto "I
have explained it a lot of times where were you then" .
Kanjan "please teach me yaar" .Shinto “tell me one thing,
which part of the word no don’t you understand. From now
on im going to be selfish" .A typical Shinto kanjan
conversation during the exam season.(don’t worry kanjan
will eventually persuade shinto, shinto wont keep him
pleading for long either. After completing his studies with
shinto kanjan will have the same sort of conversation with
suppu) .I entered the hall sat on the laptop and started
reading gadfly . sonu "aren’t you studying " .I didn’t reply
but i could hear suppu screaming "dude, he quit”. Screw
that fucker suppu didn’t he know that korappan was in the
room. Sarath "vellu aren’t you writing the exam". Is that a
trick question you already know the answer asshole. "No"
i answered without turning my head from the laptop .
Suddenly something hit me on the jaw it was nothing but
the good night mat heater that sarath threw.” Ouch it hurt”.
Sarath "what do you think i threw it for”. Dangerous
situation sarath at his high bp state .I knew any word i
mutter will result in a catastrophe so i kept my silence.
Sarath: "vellu go and study". The situation was getting
worse but i kept my silence (unfortunately that was the
only choice i had).But suddenly shereef became my angel
he asked some doubt to sarath about the subject, i was
spared. He scolded me "fucker "and started to explain
shereefs doubt. The rest of the night was unknown to me
i was deeply immersed in gadfly. I was distracted by saraths
question "its 4am, aren’t you sleeping ?”.”Yes” i replied.
Sarath :“Tomorrow please go home what is the point of
staying here. Sob quit this one too”. A much more dangerous
situation, i had no guardian angels to rescue me this time
everyone had slept the only one left was suppu and keeping
my hopes high for him is as pointless as waiting for rain in
an ultra hot summer, it just wont come .In fact he is just the
only person you dont want at these situations he is a real
menace and he will encourage sarath as much as he can.
So i wasted no time in turning off the laptop and going to
sleep.
This is virtually the case on almost all nights unless me and
chori decides to study which is a rare probability.

May be these exam nights will be the best moments we cherish
during our future life but then there are many deeds at tp that
you wish to cherish for ever. Don’t know which one stays
and which one fades. Hope all of them stays in my mind.

PS A bit sentimental towards the end may be due to vv’s
departure or may due to the realization that it is really
nearing the end.

PPS: Gadfly by E.L. Voynich is an excellent read
