March, for me, will always mean exam season. There is something deeply ingrained in my psyche associated with this time of the year, which is almost like my personal Ides of March. The seasonal change with a propensity to catch a cold along with the fear of impending final examinations rule supreme.
I still remember being woken up much before the crack of dawn by my father's loving voice accompanied by a steaming hot cup of tea. Sleep would be bid adieu and the brain would be beseeched to swing into action and exercise the last-minute cramming of facts, numbers, explanations.
Beneath it all was a constant trepidation. There was no joy (ever) in sitting for examinations. There was also anxiety, hurry, a sense of chaos. Even at a young age, I hated that feeling of helplessness and lack of control.
