Two Hours To Go

     An usual afternoon, things were happening after lunch; a few stomachs were too much packed and a few were moderately done. Credit goes to nature; The Sun God doing his magic! The humidity showing its nasty character, The salty breeze blowing from the sea.

     We are sitting in this fully packed narrow class room. Every eye directed towards the black board.
To our misfotune it was the victory of "Mother Gravity" (read earth) showing its immense gravitational pull on our eyelids. It was as easy as anything for the eyelids to come down, but one would require a massive energy to lift it up to position.

     Fate played his game this afternoon, it was a two hour class. Everyone would dream about a break in between. Did not seem that this would happen. Everyone were doing their best to keep God given cameras (2 nos) open to its widest (a max of 40%). All eyes keenly watching every second of time that their wrist watch was showing. Incredible, each second took a few seconds to complete! what a Hell!
Two hours to go...

     It was a lullaby called Maths!  powerful, powerful than the traditional "Rock a bye baby..."
Everyone in the classroom were forced to obey "Mother Gravity". The lullaby was at its best, showering its blessings on each one of us. A couple of them already put to dream!

Ohh!? What a surprise. was it all over? that two long hours. Everyone came out of their dreamland!
All minds keenly concentrating on something? A attendance call indeed. No one could ever dare to miss it! Every corner of the room was filled with joy. Everything... everything, the Sun God, the humidity and "Mother Gravity" all their attempts went in vain.

Kudos, the lullabies went on just for an hour. It was indeed a huge break nobody could ever have dreamt of! Everything finished! We planned to skip another lullaby. Thank God we are back in our rooms.
