THE ENTRY
Token no. 21.
The attendee calls my number, I get up from my seat and walk towards the psychologist's cabin. It was so crowded outside the cabin so that there were a limited number of seats, and everyone who was standing was eager to know whether or not the seat was empty.
When I entered the cabin, he asked me what my name was.
"Meenal Mishra", I replied.
"How old are you?"
"20 years old."
"Okay, what happened? Are you feeling good?
"Yes, I am."
"But your eyes don’t say that."Said the doctor.
I looked at his eyes and then again looked downwards and said"I am a little bit frustrated after the failure in my entrance exam."
"Okay, that’s quite natural in every life there will be failures. What are you doing now?"
"I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree."
"Which subject?"
"Biotechnology."
"Okay, now concentrate on your studies and forget about the past. You have a long way to go. Don’t be frustrated that your one year is gone for coaching, “said Doctor.
"From them, I have studied what I am and how to study", I replied to him in a little temper.
“Are you an angry person?"
“Yes, a little bit.”I nodded.
“Don’t worry, you are worried because you are frustrated. Believe in God. Be calm now, I will share my experience.
I know one lady who has a similar condition to yours. She also failed in cracking the medical entrance and ended up pursuing a bachelor’s degree, but she now has a doctoral degree and her son is a doctor. So you can also be like that. You can fulfil your dreams through your children."The Doctor explained.
I was stuck for a moment, and I feel so lousy about what he said. It is for 2 reasons. My first reason is he didn’t take my words seriously, and the second reason is a doctor should not tell such an example to his patients. You will understand the reason later if you think about why. May this technique make many of them heal. I don’t know.
Sunken thoughts for a moment, I suddenly replied, "My children would become what they want to be."
Words stuck within his tongue as he didn’t expect such an answer from me. I think I broke the usual chain of questioning, and my sound tone will also change accordingly as an instinct.
"Your problems will be healed as life moves on. Do you have any other problems?"
"No, "I replied. Sincerely, I am not in the condition to explain my problems to him.
He suggested some anxiety pills to me, and I left the cabin.
If those things didn't happen, maybe I think that he is right! But that year of my entrance repeat has changed me a lot, which means I understood who I was. Before that year I wish to have solo trips, solo time etc. Because I hate everyone around me, but now I can't imagine my own time. Sharing something with someone is marvellous. It's my fault that I didn’t talk to anyone deeply before, and my thoughts are crazy for my family members.
When I started that year, I didn’t even know how to study, which means it was spoon-feeding in my higher secondary classes, and NEET requires concept. First, I feel very tough, and I can't beat with weekly exams, but after that, I read my NCERT textbook, and gradually I fall in love with it, and teachers in the institution do not spoon-feed their students instead try to build strong concepts in students. CS sir was always failing to teach a concept to me, and I feel very bad about that. I slowly started to read textbooks and understand what is in them. It was a breakthrough, but my marks weren't increasing because portions for exams and my reading portion will not coincide! Because my portion was at a snail's pace.
I am a person with a great inferiority complex, and I rarely talk to others, but one day I asked my doubt on Mole concept to Pranali who was staying in my neighbouring room of mine. And I like the way of explanation for my doubts, and it has become a habit of mine. We used to talk to each other a lot, but it's not liked by other people. Most people in her room used to stare at me when they saw me with a pranali, but we just can't stop our chats, so we continue in their absence. There was a re-repeater in her room, Zoya. She was like ruling the roommates in her room, including pranali and she would always try to stop others from studying. Eventually, everyone began to hate Zoya, and she began to target everyone in the hostel but not me, I don’t know the reason. But one day when she came up to me, I used to ask her what her problem was. After that, she didn’t behave like that. But one day, other hostel members, except my roommates and I, complained against Zoya, and she became alone.
One day she came near me and said; "I am very much weak in Biology, and I hear that you are helping other students with biology, so could you help me?"
I was stuck for a moment, but I nodded my head positively. I am sure that she was calling me that she doesn’t have anybody to talk with except my roommates, and I always used to sit inside my room so that she could access me easily.
And the next day I entered her room. It was a moment that a stranger entered their room after many days. It was like a haunting place, and I was afraid, and day by day we talked to each other. And I noticed that Pranali was staring at us. She was possessed by me, and she hates Zoya. But I continue with Zoya. Gradually, we became friends. I don’t talk with such a person in my life. She was a miraculous person, and gradually she talked about her family life, her tensions and traumas she had, and everything in her life, and I also feel secure with her. We used to share all our problems, and even now I don’t get such a listener in my life, and we discuss and unravel the concepts of each other crazily and genuinely. She used to say genuine reasons and solutions for my problems. She was like a therapist. But nobody in our hostel will say such a good opinion about Zoya. I was once afraid of her, but now I haven't had a friend like her till now. The entire vision of my life has been changed. I got amazed that it could happen by just talking to a person! Yes, it was strange that no one could heal me in that way at that moment. I was filled with many questions, and she used to give me answers for them. Maybe it will not happen after many years. Because we are in the brim of a depression. That talk was a wake-up call for both of us. It was not like motivation that you can do it, you can do it. Instead, it was genuine healing. We need someone to discuss our problems in our life, but for some problems, we don’t even need a solution, just by sharing it may get healed.
It was like a gods hand in both of our lives. Pranali is the one who noticed all these, and she is the one person who knows about our immense relationship. But she hates me talking about Zoya. But pranali can’t stop talking to me. We were also like in a deep friendship.
Now I can't even start a conversation with fake salutations as everyone does after talking to her. I didn’t believe that my life had been changed, I thought it was unravelling myself. Zoya and Pranali helped me a lot with it. But after hearing all this, Pranali said that you are the common factor who knows how to make such friendships....
