This is me...

Hello People! I know....its been a while....but school reopened and i became too busy in school exams. To top it, there are regular exams in my institution as well and not to forget, LOADS of homework which of course i didn't do in the summer vacation (will i ever learn? sigh....). Anyways during the constant need to perform well in exams, i felt strongly about how much others expect from us, and even how much we expect from ourselves. So, i went through my poems and found one which i had written a while ago....it perfectly describes my state of mind right now. Expectations, expectations, Advises and suggestions everywhere. Expectations, expectations, Some are nice, but some are so unfair! Parents expect us to be ideal children, With no blundering around. They want us to obey everyone And maintain a respectful sound.

And once mam even cut my marks on account of the answer being too long!!! Its strange how everything has to be proper in this world....not a step out of line..not a word out of the world limit. Its difficult sometimes to do everything right up to the mark.....its difficult sometimes to live up to all the expectations....oh i am sorry....you see how i babble on?              Anyways, so back to who am I? I never was the kind of person who could simply stand up and introduce herself...I mean what am I supposed to say? Hello my name is Shrutika and I am studying Medical with Maths? (yeh....i can hear u guys exclaiming about how i am going to cope up with both Bio and Maths....but i simply love both the subjects!!) The one thing i hat...
