MAY 2: IN THE FILM THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, THIS DAY WAS A CRUCIAL DATE FOR WALTER TO FIND OUT A NEGATIVE OF A PHOTOGRAPH WHICH HE THINK HE HAD LOST AND WHICH HE WAS BOUND TO HOLD AS PART OF HIS JOB. ON THIS DAY HE DO MANY DRAMATIC AND ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES TO RECOVER HIS LOST NEGATIVE AND THEREBY TO SUSTAIN HIS CREDIBILITY. WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS, THIS WAS ALSO A CRITICAL DATE FOR ME, ACTUALLY NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR WHOLE OF MY SCHOOL MATES. BECAUSE THIS WAS THE DATE ON WHICH OUR SCHOOL ANNUAL RESULTS WAS PUBLISHED. I STUDIED IN THE SAME SCHOOL FOR A PERIOD OF 14 YEARS. OUT OF THIS I HAD THIS NIGHTMARE OF MAY 2 FOR, LETS SAY 9 YEARS. FOR THE TWO MONTHS OF SUMMER VACCATION WE WILL BE HAVING DIFFERENT PLANS .BUT ALL THE PLANS GOT STUCKED WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THIS DATE. SO WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ENJOY ONLY THE SECOND PART OF THE VACCATION. EXACTLY TO SAY, AFTER MAY 2. ON THIS DAY WE WOKE UP VERY EARLY .ONLY BECAUSE WE HADNT SLEEP LAST NIGHT. ON THIS SPECIAL DAY WE WILL BE VERY RELIGIOUS AND PERFORMS ALL THE PRAYERS AND MAY BE SOME EXTRA FOR SOME EXTRA GRADES. ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL MANY THOUGHTS COME TO OUR MIND. WHAT IF WE LOSS THIS BATTLE? EVERYONE GOT PROMOTED AND WE ARE SITTING LIKE AN MATURED IDIOT IN THE SAME CLASS WITH OUR JUNIORS. TEACHERS FIRING EVERYDAY AND WE ARE STEREOTYPED? EAGERNESS, FEAR, SADNESS, HAPPINESS. THOUGHTFULNESS, EXCITEMENT EVERYTHING WILL PASS THROUGH US ON THIS DAY. ONLY ONE THING WHICH MATTERS IS, WHICH ONE STAY WITH US? WHEN WE ENTER OUR SCHOOL COMPOUND WE WON’T BE LISTENING NOR LOOKING AT ANYBODY. EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW OR SHOULD WITNESS HIS VICTORY OR FAILURE BY HIS OWN EYES. MANY THOUGHTS.. LIKE THE HALF YEARLY AND QUARTERLY EXAM RESULTS COME TO OUR MIND. MY DESPERATE FAILURES DURING THE PREVIOUS EXAMS COMES TO MY MIND EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THE ANNUAL RESULT BOARD. WHEN WE ARE SURE ABOUT OUR VICTORY, OUR NEXT MOVE IS TO KNOW ABOUT OUR FRIENDS AND OF THOSE WHO GOT DEPROMOTED. AND LEAVE A SAD SMILEY FOR THOSE WHO LOST THAT BATTLE. BUT ALWAYS I HAD GOOD RESULTS IN ANNUAL EXAMS BEYOND MY IMAGINATION. I GOT MANY GOOD GRADES THAN SOME OTHER STUDENTS WHO WERE BRIGHTER IN THE CLASS AND EXAMS THAN ME. MAY BE THEY WONT ADMIT THIS.BUT IT WAS TRUE AND I WAS LEAD BY THAT RESULTS THROUGHOUT THE COMING YEAR AND NO FAILURES BOTHERED ME. EXCEPT DURING THE NEXT ANNUAL RESULTS DAY- MAY 2. AS THE YEARS PASSED BY WE GOT MATURED WE GROW TALLER AND BIGGER, BUT THE DAY MAY 2 STILL WAS A NIGHTMARE UNTIL WE GOT INTO OUR SECONDARY CLASSES. AFTER THOSE DAYS I DIDNT HAD A DAY LIKE THAT WHICH BROUGHT ME ALL THOSE EMOTIONS ALL TOGETHER IN A SINGLE DAY. MAYBE I WONT HAVE A DAY LIKE THAT ANYMORE...WHO KNOWS? PRIDE OF TELLING OUR VICTORY TO EVERYBODY GAVE IMMENSE PLEASURE FOR US THAN ANYTHING.BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE RESULT OF OUR HARD WORK. I AM NOT WISHING THOSE DAYS TO COME BACK. ANYWAY HOW COULD THE MEMORIES BE SUCH BEAUTIFUL IF THEY CAN REALLY HAPPEN AGAIN? AFTER SCHOOL DAYS AND STUDIES WHILE SITTING BACK OF A DESK I UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT THE GRADES OR RESULTS OF OUR STUDIES THAT REALLY MATTERS. BUT SOMETHING MORE. MORE THAN OUR IMAGINATION CAN IMAGINE. IT IS SURELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING OF WHO WE ARE NOW. OR IT IS A PROCESS OF MAKING US, A CREATURE TO HUMAN.
