It is a testament to how serious kids are about their studies, and especially their results, these days that today, at 7 pm sharp, the SZABIST website will have the highest number of hits ever in the history of the poor site. Near six thousand keyboard-happy yet trembling fingers will be, at regular (and short) intervals, pressing Cntl+R keys and nearly as many eyes will be glued to the monitor as this goes on. The reason? The results for all the programs at SZABIST will be posted on the website (tarikki ho gayi hai) at exactly 7 pm today, which means around 9 pm, if go you by Pakistani Standard Time.

It is also a testament to the intensity of these kids' desires to pass that has God a hotline for prayers, you would not be able to get a word through tonight, amid the hasty promises to do this, that and the other is Allah Mian would just give them an A. What difference these last minute prayers make when the result's already been decided and most likely already updated on the website, only God knows.
