Exam

Even the Gods won’t be able to withhold their laughter on entering an examination hall. It looks like a perfect marketplace where all are busy doing their own thing. The question paper is like the vegetable vendor who tells the customer the price of the product (marks). The students pay more (write more) for the ones which has more marks and vice versa.

                However not all are busy, some being very poor or moderately poor are unable to buy (write answers). In real life, when we find it difficult to cope up, we seek the help of others; as also in exams when some struggle for the answers they seek the help of others in their own ways. The pen and the knowledge the student have acts as the currency for him/ her.

The teacher may be called the owner of the whole market place or in certain situations the policeperson. The teacher like police swiftly takes rounds to see that fair trade is taking place. The teacher also gives extra lifelines in the form of supplements to those who ask for it. When the teacher finds something illegal taking place, he/ she immediately takes the responsible persons into custody.

                At the end of the exam all are happy that they have bought good vegetables (written well in the exam). Sometimes the class is left in a mess and hence the peon comes in to clean up and put order in the class. The peon may be called as the cleaner of the marketplace. At the end of the day after all sales have taken place those in charge of clearing the place, come and clear up all the mess that the vegetable vendors have made.

                God plays the role of the Almighty who lovingly looks upon us. He knows our situation, our needs, and our crisis and so on. He is empathetic towards and sends people to help us when we are in need.
