Things that mastercard can’t buy

I wish my card worked for these:

Marks. Lest you are studying in Chaudhary Phool Devi Vishwavidyalaya, Patna. Though they too accept only cash.

Time. What the heck, I’ll run short of time even if they postpone my exams by a year.

Pens & Pencils.  All you can do two minutes before an exam is- Beg, Borrow, Steal

Words. I’ll pay a hell lot for not saying ‘Frick, I knew this. Why didn’t I think of this’ 

Sleep Caffeine has its limitations.

Mistakes  3×3=9 not 6.

Luck  2+2=4  also 2*2=4.

Asteroids. Imagine your building collapsing a day before your Physics paper. Eureka. Taliban, on the other hand can lend me a couple of tommies. Sounds a bit too far fetched though, they don’t accept cards either.

Phone Calls. ’Hello, haan papa kaafi tough paper tha. Lekin theek thak hua. Agle paper mein aur mehnat karunga…… haan haan khoob man laga kar padh raha hoon’

Well Well, cards cannot make me stop day-dreaming either. They only way they help me is they help me pay for the food and cokes during my night-outs. Attempts to study while I watch Two and a half men. Oh yeah, my best bet actually is Bluma Zeigarnik’sZeigarnik Effect which states that People remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. (Click on the link to know that I did not make any of that up. Though the name is indeed cool.)

For the record, there is no money in my bank account.
