LOVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND, AND YOUR BOOK!

After an hour long conversation with his girlfriend at 2 in the morning, he got back to his Electronic Devices and Circuits book. Engineering was tough, and of lately, he had been spending too much of time with his girlfriend than his books. It was the first time he ever had a girl in his life, so we can't really blame him. 

As he tried reading a few paragraphs, his mind was still recollecting the conversation he just had with his girl. It had been an hour and he was still on the same page, smiling like an idiot. Then, he sleep took over him. No matter how much this sleep deprived creature cared for and loved his books, his sleep had taken over him, and he dozed of over the book he was reading, and some other Engineering books scattered on his bed.

It was 4 when his mother saw him sleeping over the books, certainly tired of studying the entire night. He looked very adorable to his mother as he slept over his books. She slowly picked those books and placed them on the table. She opened the blanket and put it over him. 

He woke up to that. But he acted like he was sleeping. As his mom left the room, he felt guilty. He realized how much his parents cared for him, and how he had been wasting all their efforts and money on some girl instead of building his career. He remembered how bright a student he was. He switched on the lights and started studying. 

Well, this was not a post about love, but just about how a relationship could ruin your career if you don't maintain a balance between your studies and relationship. I know, your boyfriend or girlfriend is more appealing than your boring text books, but if you ever wish to keep them happy with all the riches, it is your education that will help you to do that. 

So, love your girlfriend and your BOOKS!
