Phew! Finally the formal learning of English is out of my life! (At least I think so. Some engineering colleges have English course in the first year.) The paper was quite easy, but damn boring. On previous occasions, there used to be some form of excitement connected with the English paper. This paper was too dull, and the topics on which we were asked to write article/speech were even duller.
Some students (ahem... most students) might have enjoyed the fact that the paper was easy, 'cause they would now stand a chance to level with high scoring students (talking about English toppers, who are usually different from the general toppers). But I don't care about what the topper scored! I don't care about what I score. (But as this is my school life's most important and the last exam, I HAVE TO care this, just this once.) The only thing that 'satisfies' me is to know (or expect) that the examiner (if he/she has a proper knowledge that he/she ought to have) would be 'satisfied' after reading my answers.
I can debate on and on about that, so let's just proceed to the main point of this post, i.e. my Exit from the English exam. Actually, I couldn't find an Exit. As I mentioned above, the paper was dull and uninteresting, but was an important one. I wanted to write something deeper than what was required for that question (and for those marks!), but I couldn't afford to 'waste' time on that. And also, the examiner might be a crackpot, or might have a quarrel with his/her spouse just on the day he gets to correct my paper! So I had to be careful with what I write. I had to let go of anything that might further irritate the examiner. And for that very reason, I stuck to the word limit! And, therefore, surrendered my will to write more. And the Exits disappeared right away. And as if that wasn't enough, my computer's insides got clogged up with dust. Had to clean it with all the dust celebrating in my nose!
But I had some great time (and greater food! ;-)) with my friends after the exam. That, and this post (my first substantial one), are today's only Exits for me...

beg to difer on r urge to write more after all the mind-numbing(or lack of it) english classes of two years the names keats,shelly, and ruskin bond are right along with the devils . the chapters completely finished my voracious appetite for books in my previous school. And as for exit from english there is one year to go for it since every reputed engineering college has it be it IIT or BITS
