Nostalgia - Slog Overs

I have very little less time left between now and my exams and there is loads of to cover. At this point It literally seems impossible for me to do well in these exams. Will I fail .. No... Failure is such a bad word when it comes to academics, at least that's the way I have been brought up.

Right now, I'm going through the usual ritual of cursing myself for not starting my preparations little earlier.

And then suddenly there is some new energy which seems to surface from some hidden reservoir which has been unexplored for quite a while and it then instills complete objectivity in your mind, gets rid of thoughts of failure - (A la Bhagwath Geetha )stressing that the need of the hour is slogging, Any other thought is simply redundant and will only be a deterrent to my preparations.

"No matter if you were crawling @ the rate of 2.00 runs per over for the first 40 overs . A Blitzkrieg during the slog overs will definitely help one post a competitive total on the board.
Winning or loosing doesn't matter now, Just go out there and slog as if your life depends on it"

Its been close to 7 years since I have studied so vigorously. I'm going to shut my self up in my room this weekend and check if I'm still the same slog over specialist I used to be.

Boy ! this situation seems so familiar. I have been through this situation at least a 100 times when I was in college and my success rates were pretty high then .. Wow.. One more reason for me to believe that I will do well in these exams

Chak de Barani!
