I'm not sure that everyone here knows what 'kal se padhenge' (कल से पढ़ेंगे) means, so I'll explain (I don't know Hindi or Urdu, but I know how to use online translators): it means literally 'tomorrow from will read', more anglo-idiomatically, 'I'll start reading tomorrow' -- the idea is along the lines of no matter how many days you have available for studying, you'll keep putting it off until tomorrow, and will as a consequence experience increasing pressure as you approach the exam date.Anti Hydrogen said:

Famous Special Relativity limerick:
There once was a lady named Bright
Who traveled much faster than light.
She went out one day
In a relative way,
And returned the previous night.
