Parathe ji in Senior Secondary School-II

Hi friends,
So, I guess you enjoyed my previous work and you must have found it humourous but please note that these all are real life incidents, may be happy or may be tragic.

After the success of previous articles, I have become now responsible to write good articles. I want to continue this but I need support for advertising this site to more unknown persons.

So here goes the article---
____________________________
Respected Sir,
I am a bonafide student of Sri Sankara Vidyalaya,Bhilai. I have passed Class-X Board Exam conducted by CBSE with an aggregate of nearly 85%.I have also got distinction in 4 subjects with 99 and 97 % marks in Science and Maths respectively.I have also cleared National Talent Search Examination.......................
Yours Sincerely,
Abhinav Parate

An application similar to this was submitted by me to Principal of BSP Senior Secondary School for admission in Class-XI.Yeah..it was similar not necessarily the same as above. Hmmm...or I can say atleast the line with 'nearly 85%' was for sure present. How can I be so sure? If you would have been there in place of me, even you would have been sure.You will know it soon.

So here I am in Principal's office.Principal is reading the application.
He says,"Hmmmmm... Mr. Parathe, answer one question of mine"

"Yes, Sir",I said while getting ready for the technical question to be asked to me but there was something which disturbed my mind. Here is what I was thinking at that time, "Parathe??? No!!! How can he call me PARATHE!! He is Principal of such a big school and can't read that it's ParaTe and not ParaTHe!!"

But who was there to listen my pain..So,Principal targetted his technical question:"Mr.Parathe, How do you call it? Is it 'ParaTTHE' or 'ParaTTE'?"
I was totally surprised by such a technical question.I said politely," Sir, it's Parate".It's really difficult to be polite if your mind is in the mood of revolting.

"OK, now tell me how near to 85 is your nearly 85%?", he asked. (Now you must have got why I remembered the line nearly 85%.)"Because I have so many students with nearly 85% waiting for admission",he said smiling.

Ok OK,it was just 84.2% but I was school topper yaar.But principal said,"No, I can't give admission when you can't calculate your percentage."
Door closed for me!!!

But I wanted to get admission here at any cost.Even if I have to pay a huge price for that.So, what could be huge price?? Hmmm... call me Parathe!!!

I looked at the mighty walls of this school.I looked at the students there."How to breach these walls? How can I get inside this school?", I thought. I was unaware of the future when I was to make a crack in the same mighty walls which look too difficult to me to get inside.

Any how I managed to get admission after many more applications and meetings with Principal but I checked that there is no 'nearly' type of things.

Day 1 in school
The day 1 as I recall, I was not given a seat to sit. Wherever I tried to sit, some boy would come and say,"Hey buddy, this is my seat". The boys there finally showed me the place where I can sit. I don't know what was in their mind but they must have thought that I will be embarrassed to sit at that place. That place was in the row of desks where girls used to sit. The boys might not have realised how glad I felt with such a great offer!!! I was to interact with the girls of that school the very first day!!!

And there was another person, who became my good friend later. His name - M.Linuraj. Another new student in school to sit with me in the girls' row.

So I am sitting right behind the girls on last bench. Class began. Our class teacher arrived. So, as expected attendance began. So, everybody's name was to be called. It's a good idea to know name of others when he or she answers the call. But who was there to know about 'He'. I was waiting for names of 'she'. Am I not smart?? I looked at the girl in front of me..looked good but she looked smaller in height. But I didn't care of Oonch-Nich... afterall I am liberal person.
Teacher said,"****". She said,"yes". (After much thought,I have deleted the name and replaced it with *s to protect her identity.Let's call her Srishti from now.If you would have been lucky to read this article few days back, u wud have got the name ).OK! her name is Srishti,I was happy with the success of my mission of finding her name. And then teacher called my name and asked me to introduce myself. He asked my percentage in class-10 exams. I told proudly as I knew this section had 79% as highest percentage.

So what happened next?? You must be eager to know..But dear you will have to wait till my next posting in series - 'Paratheji in Senior Secondary School'. So till then Bye!!
