It was the day in which the
school reopened after a long summer vacation...she was a girl who is
entering her 8th std and was so excited that she is gonna
meet all her friends after 2 months....she went so early to school
with her new bag, new water bottle and all her new school kits with a
huge smile on her face..... she wasnt knowing that an unexpected
disappointment is waiting for her at school.... it was revealed by
her class teacher when she entered the class and it was
“shuffling”.... she was told that the new principal had announced
that they are going to shuffle the students among the four
sections..A, B, C and D....which were considered to be four different
gangs until that....she was in ”D” section from her first std in
this school with the same set of friends and nw she was said that she
has been put in “A”.... thunder and lightening struck her
head...she was the only one from her class who was shifted to “A”
which is always known as the class of intelligent students and called
by them(D) as the students full of attitude...(over scenes in their
language)... all other friends of her were clubbed with B and C
sections...
she felt so lonely and her eyes were filled with
tears...she begged the teacher to change her to C section where all
her best friends were...bt the teacher refused and made her sit in
the first row first corner.. her favourite place where she was never
allowed to sit in her old class as she was tall....that smewhat
consoled her bt she was still unhappy... none of her new classmates
talked to her as they were all brahmins and north indians while she
was a non-brahmin south indian...they thought that talking to her
will affect their image... but they talked to her for the first time
to ask her to shift to the end so that they can take her favourite
place which was their favourite too...she is a very kindhearted and
helpful girl since her childhood... she left the place and went to
the other corner thinking that atleast after that they will befriend
her... but they didnt even mind that such a girl exists in their
class...while she was like this her other friends were very happy
with their new class and they too had forgot her.... she cried a lot
and at a certain point even the tears had left her... she tried to
escape from this kind of situation and diverted all her concentration
towards her academics as she wanted to prove everyone that she too is
capable and as intelligent as they are...she was an average student
nly till her seventh std always playing with friends.... but in her
new class almost everyone scores full marks and might lose a maximum
of 2 marks only.... she took that as a challenge and studied very
seriously.... her midterm exams came... she wrote well according to
her.... in CBSE board how much ever we write we can never guess our
marks exactly.. it depends on what the teacher expects from us....
finally the day came for
which she was waiting.... their phy and chem teacher, kala mam
entered the classroom with the marksheets... the rate of her
heartbeat increased steadily and reached the saturation point as the
teacher started distributing the papers.... it was just almost a few
papers left..... she felt as if she got a mini-heart attack... all
papers on the desk were gone and she had not got her paper yet... she
almost died only thinking that her paper may be lost because of this
shuffling and strtd crying as she is very sensitive... she felt so
bad to ask the teacher abt it... despite all these she stood up and
told the teacher that her paper is missing... mam told her that she
will check and let her know afterwards... she became very nervous and
she felt so cold and was sweating a lot... meanwhile the teacher
started scolding the class that no one had secured full marks in all
three sections that too in a very important subject like science.....
she was half-deaf to teacher's words and was totally sunk in the
ocean of sadness..... then the teacher started again and told that
out of all three sections only one girl had secured full marks and
added that the presentation was so neat that if possible she would
haven given more than 100%.... the poor girl didnt even mind as she
was very much depressed... when mam said that the girl is from A
section she turned towards mam to know who it is as she wanted to
congratulate that girl who is so unique and talented to be the only
one in all 3 sections to get full marks... mam asked her to come out
and asked the whole class to clap and cheer up the girl... she felt
like she could fly.... she had no words to explain her
happiness......tears of happiness rolled off her cheeks.. mam took
her paper out from her handbag and gave it to her and asked everyone
to go through her paper.... when she returned back to her place all
her new classmates who were not even ready to talk to her,
congratulated her and asked her for the paper.... she felt so proud
and was at the peak of happiness as she had proved herself in front
of everyone who ignored her before :) :) :)
