Hello again, dear readers.

So, now that I managed to make time for my blog, allow me to describe my current situation (also few of my fellow SSC mates).
Now is the time when we can put in our best efforts and score good marks and also make up to the failure (not literally,  at least in my case😋).  So, my school is having its first semester exams starting from 26th of this month. And I can honestly say that I am in all good time. Nothing to worry about.

But, as we all know that nothing is permanent, it is the same when it comes to peace. While I, and also if I may include my fellow SSC mates,  would be preparing for the semesters, it would seem as though the teachers in the school are not satisfied with our preparatory methods. So what would they do? Oh, that's easy. They would assign us with revision assessments.

Now, I feel that it is absolutely necessary for the teachers to assist us, help us out, take up revision tests, etc. However, I think that the meaning of revision has changed. Now,  revision does not mean practising sums, or reciting poems or writing tables. Apparently, copying sums from solution books, writing out large paragraphs from the science textbook and repeating that three times is the new form of revision. And the bonus?  You have to complete the darn thing and submit it within two days.

Will someone please tell me what shall I do with those assignments. What's the point of a revision where we are only copying and writing? Is this called revision? Well, personally, I think that it is complete waste of time. Instead of writing out assignments we should be practising the difficult sums in the textbook. Well, obviously there is nothing we can do about it. However I hope that things change for the future 'Ickle Tenthies'

Also, please excuse me for having such a long gap between my  blogs, and I don't think I have to explain the reason.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Adieu!

Greetings my dear readers,

Well now,  as we count our days, we have got 24 weeks for the SSC exams. So might I ask my fellow SSC mates,  this:
What are we doing to maintain the balance in our mental health?
Along with continuous hardwork,  I think that it's absolutely necessary to give ourselves a break. As for me, I think that the best way is listening to good music. I would definitely agree that "Music per day, keeps stress at bay." Listening to classical music on a daily basis has relieved me from my academic schedule. The melodious ragas make me feel so light as if I am just floating in midair.

Next to this,  I think that reading is another stress reliever. Books are man's best friends. They bring out the best in us. So shouldn't we make the best out of them? 

According to J. K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, " If you don't like to read, then maybe you haven't found the right book."  

 Reading has many benefits. For starters, it boosts up our imagination. Secondly, it takes us into a different world, where we forget our problems and enjoy the feeling of being in that world. This is quite necessary in today's world. I have found that reading produces positive vibes. 

So, that's all for now.

Hello,

This is my first blog. I am writing about the  experience of being in the Xth Std.

So, as I am pushing myself to this whole new level of testing my ability to mug up something from the dry pages of my textbooks and then just vomiting it out in the so called 'tests' and 'exams', I am now realising that the SSC exam is not really a joke. Well, I am absolutely sure that most of my fellow SSC mates would agree. We can hear all those aunties telling us, "Aur beta, abhi 10th mein ho na ........Padhai acche se chal rahi hai ki nahi." And of course Sharma uncle's son and Khanna aunty's niece is going to get better marks than me.

Once the timetable's out in public, the 'Kaun Banega Topper of the Year' is the new popular reality show. Sadly, our education system tests our capacity to mug up 3/4ths of our textbooks. Then comes the time when we have to fill the form for registration ration. And by then, students are busy studying, completing Science Journals, notebooks, workbooks etc.

Once we are done with the exams , we can relax for three whole months. And finally, the day of result arrives. Everyone, our parents to teachers to uncles and aunties and Jupiter wale mausa and Neptune wali mami, would be waiting in anticipation with bated breath. "Kyu beta kitne percentage mile?" If it's a good result then, the questionnaire will change its subject. If not, the 'Questionnaire Season 2'

Ah well, as for me, I am yet to experience this big drama. so I wish all the best to my fellow SSC mates and those who are to appear next year for the same.
