I was chatting with Huda this morning. We were talking about studies and I proudly recounted the number of times I have failed in tests. And as I’ve not been writing anything here, I thought I’d do a little post on this topic to make you all…err…happy?
- I failed in my first ever test: Urdu in class 1.
- Then I failed in my Physics monthly test in Matric.
- I failed in the first Physics and Urdu bimonthlies in first year.
- I failed in the Islamiat second bimonthly, two months later. The teacher made me take a resit and I failed that too.
- I failed in Electronics-I, third semester.
- I failed in Electromagnetic Compatibility & Interference, last semester.
As you can see, I believe in: “If at first you don’t succeed, go watch a movie! Studies are not worth it.”
I’m not ashamed of my achievements. Rather, I’m quite proud of the first one.
I was in class 1 and about 4 or 5 at that time. My mother made me prepare for the test but what she forgot to tell me was what happens in a test and what the hell a test is.
So the teacher came in, handed out sheets to us and went to write questions on the board. I being an obedient kid at that time quietly copied the questions, put the sheet in my bag and…
“Ammi, main ghar aa gayaaaa….”
“…BERA GHARQ!“
Dumbass kid!
