The result wave

The good,better and best never looked so distinctly categorized.Only few weeks ago everything seemed so calm as sea, anxiously contented,but now as the huge result wave swept away all that pleasant scenario ,the exam result is all we are left with as our ID cards.No matter how hard we try, we cant refrain from asking each other this notorious question on d-day that "hey,how was your result?"As if that could change our own result but as a matter of fact it does,metaphorically,for better or for worse.There are the nth time toppers,the unexpected outshiners,the parents' prides,the whiners,backloggers and other groups that everyone labels at the back of their minds.Yeah,no one wants to console an evergreen lamenter or congratulate the one who they left far behind in the previous result but in turn scored better this time.The day that started with a usual morning,got halted by an unusual event,resumed by some condolences and congratulations always ends up with some resolutions that we make to ourselves.Next sem is my battlefield,I'd work as hard as possible next time etc are some promises that get scribbled in personal diaries.And facebook ofcourse gets flooded with status updates as if each pixel of the digits making up that result contained a 24*7 dedication and utter devotion and toil since the beginning of the sem. Undoubtedly some expectations break,bonds crack,rivalries become worse and feathers get added but its time we should finally ponder upon some vital thoughts that often dissolve in oblivion as the times passes by.Are we still continuing the cliché of chasing only the sensationalized? Are we still stuck in the rat race?Have those pixels making up the result actually obstructed the way for innovation?Food for thought!!
