And that thing is the exams. Yep, the moment of truth has arrived - or will in about 10 hours.
Every semester, I'm reminded of one word at exam time - Kralizec, the Typhoon Struggle. In the world of Dune, the Fremen use this word to mean the cataclysmic battle at the end of the universe. It's never really very clear who exactly they expect to fight, but a myth is a myth is a myth...
In any case, comparing Mumbai University Engineering exams to the Typhoon Struggle is like comparing the Battle of the Alamo to a minor roadside altercation. And no, I haven't messed up the order. It's the sort of thing a hell-and-damnation type of preacher cooks up to illustrate the tortures of hell to his unbelieving flock. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Once more unto the breach...

If you juxtapose the examinations with the Kralizec, then it must mean that you see this exams as the battle you have to participate in because it's already the end of the world. Are exmas really that awful? Oh, right. They are awful.
