Student Before Entering Examination Room

 Suppose a student is standing outside the examination room. He has a book in hand. What would his thoughts be when he is about to enter the room. "I should revise this. No, I just missed out on this. The examination is about to start and I have not revised every thing. Why, here's the proof. This extra information here- how difficult it is, to memorise everything now. I  better had stayed up one hour more at night. Should I make chits to take it in. That way, I would not need to memorise and I can even get full marks. What pride it would be. But, wait a minute. Would it be right? What if I get caught? No, that is not too good an idea. (The bell rings). Oh God, the bell has rung! And I am thinking about this meaningless stuff. Oh what! I left one page. I think I should keep the book down and now and not panic about whatever I have left otherwise I will forget what all I have already memorised. I should go into the hall and answer whatever I remember. Other things, I will write

Archer Before Shooting an Arrow

 Let us suppose an archer is shooting an arrow in an eliminator round and this is her last chance to score a if she wants to win the game. What would she think? " This is my last chance. I have the dreams of many with me. Before this arrow, what all I did will not matter now - it won't matter how many 10 - pointers I have shot. It is a matter of a few seconds. The positions of many others also depend on me. The whole country has hopes. If this last chance is hit, I will be welcomed with flowers and blessings. If this one does not hit, I will be targets for scorns and trolls. I need to focus now. Just a single accurate hit is needed. Should I take some more time or shoot it before my hands start trembling. Should I adjust the arrow a degree north or a degree south? No, what if it does not hit on the target if I adjust it a lot? I will be the culprit of breaking a million hearts and not being able to fulfil a million expectations. Just release it now. No more thoughts."
