I was in a class, at the right front of the room near the door. Daytime. It was exam day and I was sitting on the second bench giving the exam of physics. I was wearing a uniform, I can't remember if it was my school's or college's. I didn't know how much time has passed, I was casually writing the paper; like really casually, most of the time looking around in the class. The invigilator announced, '15 minutes left'. Then I reallised that I was in deep trouble. I started writing as fast as I can, all answers were clear in my head. After few minutes I took a glimps of what was going onin the class. Strangly, some guys were throwing ball of paper at the invigilator. I seemed as if only I was giving the exam and everyone was just playing around. 'Anyways', I thought. I continued to write.
Next It was the next day, I was walking with my two friends in the university. Then I realised that the exam took place in the university. Daytime. I was again wearing uniform of the college. I was walking in between my friends. Those were my college friends (I actually study in an engineering college), Avik and Anoop. We were talking about something.
'Lets go to the auditorium', I said.
'ok', they said.
We were climbing stairs. (Auditorium usually exists in the ground floor but while dreaming I carried on without a thought). We were sitting in the auditorium, at the back. I was an enormous auditorium, like one that I have never seen before. It had fade lemon yellow color seats and stage curtains. Strange, I thought. As I ran my eyes in the enormous room, I saw a very strange thing. In the background of the stage, I saw an enournous, compact and flat arrangement of pipe and various switches, which formed the whole backwall of the stage. It was enormous and fuctioning; with some gases leaking out and some lights blinking. I looked at it for a while. But then the stagemen, covered the wall with the lemon yellow curtain of the stage. I looked away. We then started talking about the exam of last day.
'So your physics paper was completed yesterday? right? I have completed it, so I don't have to worry today' Avik said.
I was confused a bit. Then I don't know how but I got all the information about the exam system of the college.
It was like the long papers take place in two shifts; Day 1 & 2. Those who have not finished the paper in day 1 can come and complete the paper in day 2. The shifts were 1 and half hours each.
Next moment I was sitting dumbstruck, after realising all the information that came to my mind. And I felt more misterable when I realised that I had not finished my paper yesterday and today 1 hour had passed. My mind started racing.
'Have you completed your paper?' I asked Anoop, who was sitting besides me.
'Yea, I have', He said as if obvious.
'Oh my god, I have not completed it', I said, tensed.
They were surprised.
'Lets go', I said and ran outside. I sensed, they were also following.
I ran as fast as I can; by now I had only 20 minutes left. I was on the grounds now. I halted, took a breath. 'I have to complete my physics paper' I said as I out of breath. Then Prashant appeared from back. It seemed as if he was running behind me. (Prashant is my best friend, who studies in a commerce college. And it was really strange to see him running behind me, in this engineering college).
'Yea' he said, he too was out of breath.
I started running to my left. Prashant called me 'Hey where are u going, the exam is not in that building. Its there.' He was pointing straight.
I ran there. Prashant was not in the scene anymore. I started climbing the stairs. The building was old style and well maintained, with clean chocolate brown paint. I climbed to the second floor. A classmate of mine was returning to his exam class after sharpening his pencil in the dustbin outside the class. Strange, why do we need a pencil. He was not wearing the usual uniform, starnge. I too was not wearing it I realised, strange.
'Where is my exam hall' I asked him.
'The usual, 3rd floor' he said with a bit of surprise.
I ran up. Then I reached my class. On the door of the class there was a black and white poster of a guy, who was either missing or wanted (I don't remember). I hurried in. Everybody looked at me.
The invigilator looked at me with curiosity.
'Mam I am here to give the paper' I said hurriedly.
There were 3 invigilators in the class, all female. Two of them were surprised.
The third one said curtly 'You are late, You will not be able to give the paper'
'Mam please, this is really inportant to me'
There was a long pause, then with a disgust she gave me my paper and I started writing.
Next scene. Time's up.
A sharp beeping noice. I woke up and turned off mt mobile alarm.
