The first journey towards success.

          I was born to a family where my dad is a renowned teacher of my home town and my mom sacrificed her career for  my proper upbringing. Naturally its quite obvious that there was always a pressure over my small head to score fabulous marks in the exams and to make my parents proud of their sacrifice and struggle...

          I studied in  GuruNanak Mission School upto class 2. In that school there were quite few students and obviously the competition to become a topper was never tough for me.But there was a big problem behind all these. My dad's colleagues continuously used to prick him that my future will never shine if I study in that non-affiliated school. 

          The pricks and criticisms were continuously getting on our nerves when one fine morning my dad took the greatest challenge of his life .....

          There was a great  school in my town too- "St.Xavier's  School" .My dad decided to admit me there.And to my greatest surprise, he came home with the admission form in hand and the exam to be scheduled tomorrow.It was really something horrible to prepare for an admission exam overnight.But as I said earlier, the son of a renowned dad...  

So I had been asked to 'do the impossible'.

         In that pretty tender age ..I almost studied about 14 hours to finish up the syllabus. I was feeling crazy about myself then.Next day when I went to St.Xavier's School to appear in the exam, I saw many new faces, all tensed and doing the last minute mugging which I hate the most...

        I as usual gave my concentration on the swing then and enjoyed the pre exam minutes. My parents  had given up  the hope of me admitting to new school seeing those mischiefs of mine. The bell ringed and we all the students stood in a queue, I rubbing my face with a handkerchief.

       The principal guided us to the exam hall. It was a two hours 'alipore zoo' in short I can say.Some were crying, some asking for permission to toilets ...  I enjoyed the 'zoo' well and came out after 2 hours with a casual smile.My parents were tensed what  would happen. I really was not at all interested to take the pressure in my small  head. I enjoyed the ride back to my home. 

       After  2 weeks when the result was published, it was me who topped the list. It was quite impossible for me to believe also. i was shocked as well as happy. Thats  the first journey of my life towards success, a result to stop  all the criticsms that were rumoured about me.

      

       I did realise something-- there's nothing that can  give you immense pleasure other than SUCCESS.
