1st AITS

-


A lot of chapters, but not one studied properly.

Shall I skip the test? Shall I study today?
I'll just lie and tell everyone I was out of town.
I sit with books open in front, torn between fight and flite
It's AITS, I should.
But how will I explain my marks to my teachers?
I don't want to lie.
"You can study for the next test."
How many times will there be a "next test"?
How will I answer my parents?

"No matter what, at least give the tests."
I remember advising a junior.
I smile to myself, with a wavering heart,
still trying to muster up courage.

Silencing these voices, I tried to understand
the foreign notes I had made.
The clock soon struck 1:30 PM.
I left for the exam at 2 PM.

To give the test.
It pained...
To hide my gaze.
It pained...

"It takes courage to be vulnerable,"
I whispered to myself as I wrote:

"Ma’am, how do we study so that the formulas remain in the conscious mind?
And the questions click in the mind?
It happened in 12th too. Physics went by with a foggy mind,
unsure if the answers were right or wrong. It happened today too.

When it's just about one chapter of Physics, the formulas remain in short-term memory,
and I practice some questions about them, so the test goes by without much thought.

But tests that include multiple Physics chapters get in my way.
I'm just confused about how to study for NEET.

Is it repetitive revision that will keep things in my conscious mind?
Is it laborious question practice that will help me see how to solve numericals?
Should I solve new questions or practice the ones I've done before?
Maybe I should start teaching the chapters to the air?
Maybe I should go deeper to understand how questions are solved?"

And my dear teacher answered:

"Don't worry.

Practising tests like AITS will help you a lot.
After each test, analyze your paper by yourself, not with the answer key.

First, you have to complete your syllabus according to AITS.
For formulas, revise your short notes daily.
Try to solve mixed problems; take any old question paper or DPP as extra practice.
Question practice is the basic tool to deal with Physics.
Star-mark questions that are complicated and not easy to solve directly.

Don't get confused with extra material.
The material you have is more than enough.

Do practice.
Learn from mistakes.
This will help you a lot.
Nobody is perfect."

Ministry of Chai and ISL

-
I was in the “Ministry of Chai” a cozy cafe around 6 to 7 PM.  I parked the scooty and stepped inside. Ordered an Adkrak Chai and sat down beside an empty round table. Engrossed by my own thoughts, I started reading Mritunjay, facing all the other customers. A couple of pages flew past the eyes, as the chai reached my table. Songs dissolved in the air. As I cool the chai, I see an adult couple mingling. A family in the distance, and a group of deaf people in front. I sipped the chai, and the warmth brought with it the realization of cold. With it came the realization of how silent the conversation of deaf people really is.  From the corner of my eye, I saw how the facial expressions changed. I observed how they interacted. Trying to understand their signs was like trying to catch a moving metro. Even though I had learned the basics of ISL from Youtube, it was still hard to understand what they were conversing about. The body language and the expression were the only things tha...

"The songs have already started, when are you two going to get ready!" Mother shouted from her bedroom. It was the Navratreers, the Garba dance took place at the humongous lawn of the banquet hall a few roads ahead. "Just a second!" shouted Gulika, my little sister.  While we get ready let me give a little introduction about us. Gulika and I had annoyed a lot of shopkeepers, just to get our desired clothes and fittings. For me, a full sleeve, a black blouse with a golden lining, a beautiful matching lehenga, and a light-coloured dupatta. Gulika had chosen a blue backless blouse, with a light pink lehenga, printed with roses all around. With contrasting clothes, she had trouble choosing the right dupatta but ended up with a light-colored one with light blue patterns. We both wore matching sandal and stole the jewelry from Mother's closet, don't tell her, please.  Just as Mother was going to call for us once again, we rushed from the room to the h...
