Just a lousy Sunday afternoon, thinking about stuff and it leads me towards memories, yes i do thought once that i m damn smart to fool my teacher and parents but eventually that doesn't go according to my plan.
We think we are smart but we always forget one fact that they are smarter and they will always be.
So here is the incident, once when i was in class 1 i guess our class teacher told us that she is going to take test tomorrow and told us to write it down in our dairy, but as you all know i once thought i was smart so i didn't bother to note that down and when i reached home i completely forget about the test. Next day when test happened i got 2 out of 10 and along with a note VERY POOR, now i get scared i thought if i am going to tell Maa and Appa about it they will scold me, so i decided to be smart and skip scolding part, so what i did I make 2 as 12 and make P as G and R as D. It was cutting though but i managed somehow, that looks completely good to me, but i was smart not the smarter. i forgot about 10. In evening i gave notebook to my Maa to sign that paper. She behaved weird, she said you scored such a good marks let Appa sign these for you. I was like so happy at that time, its like i lie and now i am going to get reward for that too. I was feeling so proud of me at that time. Now Appa came Maa show him my notebook and rest is the history, from that day i decided i am never going to lie to my parents, and today i am glad that they found out, because no matter what ever the condition is they always have solution to that problem and that day i learned i can be smart but they will always be SMARTER.
Next incident took place when i was in class 6, we have this Hindi essay competition going on in our school, frankly saying i am not that good in Hindi. It was on some kind of topic i don't remember exactly but i wanted to win the competition so i start working on the essay. Gosh, that was so difficult the wordings and all but i didn't want to quit and i want to win. So i come up with an idea. I decide to cheat, I am not proud of this but i somehow get successful in it. Now just a day before result my class teacher call me in staff room, so i went. She said dear you have very good writing skills i never knew you write so well. I was feeling little bit guilty after hearing her out but that time that's what i want to listen. I said thank you to her. Then she said i really like the starting paragraph of your essay as it starts wit a quote, I said yes mam that is very meaning full, Mam said yes it is, then she said could you please repeat that quote. That was the moment when i was complete blank, i mean i have no idea about what she is asking and about what quote. I stand silent and still in front of her. Then she asked 'WHY' and believe me i don't know why i cheated in that one, i mean wining a essay competition was not at all important for me. I start crying and i said i am so sorry for what i did. She didn't scold me or said anything harsh, she just said your essay came first not you. Those words and i understand what she mean. Same moment i went to my principal and apologize for my mistake, first prize was gone but that day i again learned i can be smart but they will always be SMARTER.
