After a long hiatus, in class seven, I again started experimenting my skills in understanding anime which turned out to be a success, when i first indulged mangaowl in anime like “Hayate the Combat Butler” and “Fairy Tail”. Oh! Such a sweet poison! After a whole hectic day in school, tuition, swimming classes, art and music classes, and whole other heck lot of activities; I waited only to sit back and relax to watch these anime. At that time, nothing mattered to me; not even my parents, friends and teachers. In that virtual realms of pleasure I could tackle my defeats and sufferings as easily as i had taken in successes.
Nothing bothered me, except when i had to attend phone calls or to open door, if any guest comes when the anime shows were ongoing. However, anime hardly did affect my studies as after watching two hour long program, I suffered from PADS (Post Anime Depression Syndrome) for which I suffered the guilt of wasting time which was more intensified by my mother’s rebuke (I would like to describe this situation as “Kata Ghaye nuun-er Chheta”) and this guilt would propel me to study harder, concentrate and work for longer hours and this occurred as daily routine for me; so i could easily outdo most of the students be it studying or swimming or any other work.
