looPy daYs

There I am sitting in the left hand side corner of the last bench. Tiny droplets on my forehead, staring blankly at my question paper. I've filled only 7 pages till now. Yeah 7 pages of cock and bull stories! And it's already half past ten which leaves just an hour more for the exam to get over. 'Just' an hour? It is one BIG hour! How am i gonna pass it? damn... Hands on my head I try to recollect what I've learnt. Nothing comes up. My mind is blank. Then, suddenly I hear a familiar music growing louder every second. I look up, to see everyone staring at me. Hell! it's my phone and it is right next to me in the desk!........... the invigilator comes rushing towards me.....I make up my mind to get a sem drop, my heart's beating like greased lightning!
"Divya! It is already 10! How long will you sleep????!! Look your phone is ringing! Get up at once!!!"
I spring up from the bed, totally flabbergasted and I stare at mum.... whoAAAAAa! It was a bloody dream! Ha!..... And thats kavz calling me. I beam at mum like never before and she leaves the room a lil' confused.
This is how most of the days before my exams passed, full of nightmares! Rather loopy. Still recovering from a horrible exam trauma. :D

the Clash of Frequencies

Gone are the days when teachers used to nag us for presentations on various subjects. Back at school I have done many projects and presentations and one of them is 'the clash of frequencies', that i had penned down with a little help from my friends ash and swetha for the English class.
'The clash of frequencies' is all about the clash of two stations on the frequency band of a radio, one airing a cookery show and the other, a cricket commentary. There are 3 characters-
commentator 1(was played by ash)- C1
commentator 2(swetha)- C2
cook(me)
Here it goes..it has to be read fast to enjoy. Please don't mind if it is too kiddish as i wrote it in my 8th grade!
