Living on the Edge



A victim of competitive world,a victim of broken dreams, a victim of madness .What is he anyway?.I really as,a sister need to do ma duty but, sometimes i get so stuck in the whirlpool of bounded burden of expectation vs result that i don't have the courage to say"YOU NEED TO STAND UP" .He is pushing himself too hard draining his energy ,day and night and sooner or later i will be forced to see him on the verge of break down.For 3 continuous days he hasn't had his sleep,burning the midnight oil as he is preparing for IIT:[prestigious exam and tough one too ]which is like one year away.Why?? .Adding to the pressure, the pressure to score 90+ in boards.Ma mom keeps on reminding him how important its to balance and how miserably i failed.San has vowed never to follow ma failure and the balance: he doesn't even believe in that.What ma mom fails to understand is that for him to balance ,the day will need to have more than 24 hours.Everyone i meet down the road has just one thing to ask:"how is San?heard he is always with books".Ma brother is devoid of any social contact other than the three members of the house,his soul companions being the books.I can't even seem to remember the last time we spoke to each other.Day in Day out he sits behind the piles of book trying to gain EX-tra knowledge that will help him crack the tough cookie.I'm really scared for him .With the expectation rising, he needs to find at least some break between his tight schedule from school-tutions-entrance-school routine.The society need only achievers and over achievers but,most of the famous figures like Newton,Einstein,Bill gates all were school dropouts, it doesn't mean he has to stop trying .I believe that one needs to put in effort that one is capable of .There is no magic figure of 200% and there should not be a situation where ,as you look back you will regret the time wasted.I remember ma friend putting in his wise words

"90+in all records does not account for success,success means to live life to the fullest.Success is always the by product of happiness"
