It took me two hours, that drawing of the traveling and standing wave patterns of voltages, currents and what not. Two hours in the week preceding the mid-sem exams. Two hours in a week when I had two million other things to do, and two hours less to do them in. By the time I was done I hated few other things as much as I hated that diagram. If it wasn't so perfect, I fumed, I would never had reproduced it in my lab report. What was I doing it for? One cursory glance by the professor, after which it would be ignominiously consigned to the ever-growing heap of loose-leaf sheets in my room.
Well, cursory glance it was, but every detail of the drawing was taken in, and then came the one word I'd least expected to hear: "Beautiful.."
And that one word compensated for every one of the 7200 seconds it took me to draw it. Just like that..

Bliss it is indeed.
