I left the match as soon as I was taken out of the wicket and rushed to attend an impending essay competition. It&#8217;s still fresh in my mind how I ran off the field that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had reached the venue a bit late. And, all I saw, were serious, &#8230; serious spectacle-guys and girls (meant no disrespect) individually seated on their respective tables &#8212; already writing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as I can tell &#8212; in my head at that instant, I was relieved to see, for good one day that neither I was wearing my uniform, while few of them did but many none had their college uniforms on. I was like, this is cool! And, the only reason I can think of as to why I was attending that holy event after having depleted all my battery on the match was only and only because a friend had requested my participation. I had no fucking business there, no hopes of wining at all &#8230; at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I was given this blank piece of paper (as soon as I entered the hall), along with a pen and was quietly and quickly ushered towards my designated seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were to write an 800 words essay on problems cum issues of our country on energy crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[<\/strong>What the<strong> fat fuck <\/strong>do I know about our country<strong>, specially for a boy <\/strong>who&#8217;s<strong> <\/strong>spent most of his life, at barely a kilometer radius far from his home<strong>. ]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But anyways, I was determined to write about my fucking &#8216;load-shedding&#8217; problem in our house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now, this is the funniest part: <\/strong>I was extremely thirsty, and sure, was sweating as pig, but without-a-shame and politely, requested for a glass of water. After few minutes, one of the good samaritan guy bought me one with his kind smile and confused eyes as he sneak-peeked into my neat, white papers. <strong>I haven&#8217;t written shits!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>[haha]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one alone; This epic scent of  sweet reminiscence alone still brings me joy till the date. <strong>God!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>And my holy, frecking god;- all I did .. all i did, in those entire 3 hours long period of the contest was drank that same served glass of water, pretending it&#8217;s a fucking whisky, and for real, and wrote the entire things which I didn&#8217;t even care to proof read for once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meaning, till this day, I still don&#8217;t know what i wrote!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>[haha]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I wasn&#8217;t the first one to submit my papers but most certainly I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That.is.how I got my first small, fancy trophy for my debut intellectual indulgence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See<a href=\"https:\/\/ibb.co\/wzkd55j\"> this.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh!
