Pen Down!!!

As I stare at my Mac screen to give a proper title to my post, I get a vision that brings a smile across my face. I sat there as a young girl scribbling over my answer sheet as the teacher made her way towards my desk collecting the answer sheets from the rest of the students. How important in life were those 5 minutes to pen down all your thoughts, rather answers to those numerous questions given.

During my undergrad, I was a student who loved tests. I never was more satisfied than when I had given an exam. Those were the days I realized that I hated to keep my pen down. So I decided to always keep penning down all those thoughts that occurred to me which led to the origination of this blog and in turn this post.

I believe in a theory of my own that life's a test. Though, I firmly believe in my theory, I often have some unanswered questions that haunt me. If indeed life's a test then what's the duration? What are the maximum marks one can attain? Who would evaluate it? Who would invigilate it? Who would set the test? What would be the topics of the test? Would there be a choice in the questions? Lastly, how much will I score?

In order to answer these questions, I enrolled into a class taught by the society. Initially, I found the course very tough to understand as it involved a lot of basic information dating back to my initial classes in this course. These classes were taught to me by my parents. They taught me lessons like behavior, language, virtues. 

Just like many other students, I have not paid enough attention on many of those basic courses and managed to barely pass. It made me have a tough time while studying the next level of courses taught by the society. This was because all the courses there were inter-disciplinary. For example, we often feel every person in the world other than our family understands us better. Its an illusion every one encounters but in reality, we can never really observe a person who wishes our well-being more than our family. There would many other incidences like this to demonstrate how important it was to pay enough attention to those classes during that time.

Slowly but progressively, I learnt some lessons which I could apply to answering the above questions. One answer that I feel I figured out right was that of the first question.

What's the duration of the test of life?
Well, I understand that every day of our life is a test. People taught me analysis in a right way and I applied those theories to analyse myself in every way possible to keep a track of my life. Every single day, I lay back and think of the progress I achieved. As for me, the goal is to live in harmony with this society and also fulfill the expectations of the people associated with me.

After putting in un-compromised effort to learn these subjects well, I could figure out the answer for just one question in the last four years. Hope it doesnot take me that long to do the rest of them.

I will pen down my answer once I learn it. Till then, its Pen Down from my desk!!!!
