Eye & ENT Written
By the end of General Surgery, we were drained down to the stage where mobile phones say "low battery". We knew that Eye & ENT were basically the size of two separate exams and that one and a half days were grossly insufficient — any one of them could take that time to revise completely. But there was no way we could stand straight any longer, much less to study and memorise, and the entire hostel drifted off into perhaps the most peaceful and relaxing sleep in five years. It was the afternoon of Sunday the 12th of July, 2009.
When we woke up, we were still not in a position to study, but we knew we had to. The surge of hormones, as I said, does not occur before the night before the exam, and the familiar relentless energy of some students that had always driven others to their books was also not seen around.
Our minds said we must study, our nerves were irritated, but we could not get our bodies and brains to study more than a few chapters — nowhere near to enough, much less satisfactory.
The same thing happened next morning, and I could not keep myself erect after prayers, and had to go back to bed.
By the time I finally woke up and finished a hasty breakfast, it was already 10 AM — exactly 24 hours to go. But the sleep at night and the previous afternoon had refreshed us sufficiently, and we were able to put a show that was staged seldom before. From 10 AM on Monday the 13th till going for the exam at 10 AM on Tuesday the 14th, we studied continuously, taking breaks only for meals and prayers. Some did not sleep at all — others napped for only an hour or two.
Eye & ENT Viva
The dash was similarly repeated for the viva . . .
