My Thug Life moment

                                                                              

                                         

In the 2019 CBSE Board Examinations, I topped the Thiruvananthapuram district and came second in the Thiruvananthapuram region( also called the Kerala region) with 99%.

Just days after the results, I had to write an entrance exam ( I wasn't ready to go to the DU, I really wasn't and still am!). My friends who had come to write the exam congratulated me and I congratulated them for their performances. 

Now comes the heroine of the story: The mom of Rashmika ( I don't know the girl's name, so let's assume her name is Rashmika). I saw this lady bragging about her daughter's results to everyone she met, though Rashmika was not very enthusiastic like her. 

Soon the duo came to me. Rashmika's mom( Let's say her name is Sheena Aunty) introduced her daughter to me and said " This is my daughter Rashmika." She scored 95% in the Science Stream at the XYZ School( I don't wish to reveal the name of the school, bcoz I have not heard of it).

I said "Congratulations".

"She worked day and night to achieve this".

"Yes, aunty. 95% in the Science stream is a really big deal".

"She wrote an entrance exam yesterday, is writing the one today and also appearing for a medical entrance exam tomorrow".

My mind went:

                 

At that point, perhaps forebodingly Rashmika left the scene but Sheena Aunty was still talking to me.

Aunty said, " But I am very disappointed".

I asked " Why Aunty? Aren't you happy with 95%?".

"I am happy with 95%. But after seeing all her hardwork I really expected to see her foto in the newspaper with a significant rank. But I saw a foto of a boy and two girls........

( For those of you who might have guessed by now, that boy is me...)

My mind voice at that time was like " In the words of Steve Harvey, this fitting to be good!!!".

I said, "Yes. I saw that too. 99%!! Great score!!"

Sheena Aunty was like " What you mean "great score"? No one can possibly score 99%. I am sure he is " a fraud or CBSE didn't come to know of his cheating". ( These were her exact words, not something I made up as an exaggeration. Take it or leave it)

I was like.....

               

But I kept my cool. Two thoughts crossed my mind at that point of time:

1. After all, I had done, after everything I had sacrificed, it ends in a "fraud".

2. Sheena Aunty for some reason doesn't see the news. There were 2 girls who had topped the State with 99.2% ( Just ONE mark difference from mine, Why, WHY????) and the AIR-1 scored 99.8%. If she had read about them, I don't know what she would have called them. Exam-Fixers? IDK.

Back to the story, the climax to be precise; 

Sheena Aunty, with the urge to become superior to everyone she meets, asked me the Million Dollar question: How much did you score in the exams?

"99%", I said.

"In which subject?"

" I got an overall of 99% in the exams."

That's when it hit her a bit, She was hysterical about the chances of me being the boy whom she just called a fraud. 

She asked her final question," Are you.....?"

"Aunty, didn't you just mention about a fraud? It is ME....!!!!"

I got to tell you her face was much worse than this......

                                       

As she tried to flee I said, " Aunty, convey my best wishes to Rashmika for her entrance exam tomorrow."

At that point,  I was like...........

                                     
     

So, 

  

                   

                                        

                             Auf Wiedersehen! 

                                    Bis bald! 

                                    Tschüss!!
