Yesterday morning i woke up at 8 am! I am on a damn vacation but still i woke up at 8 am! Just because of the total chaos at home! Nopes, we do not have kids or pets at home (well, you can say pseudo pets if u consider my mom's dhamki of throwing me into kennel with our imaginary dog, but yeah no real pets!). So who was the real cause of chaos? My mom!! She teaches Class X students, and yesterday morning Class 10th board results were declared!
On such days she is generally found to be much more tensed than the students. She teaches the most awful subject ever created by God! Social Studies!! (Sshhh! I almost failed every year in that course :D, right from class 6 to class 10 !!). But the strange thing was that her students were calling her and telling her their results! And more weird thing was she remembers the name and class performance of each and every kid! And was discussing with them weather the result was up to their expectations or not! If you ask me, that is really really weird!!I do not think any teacher right from kindergarten till my engineering ever knew my name! I was that nameless and faceless guy who neither did very well not was a pathetic looser of the class. Who just sat in a corner, attended classes came back and slept! The whole point of the blabber is, i would never ever dream even in my dreams to call up my teachers and say thanks after my result!
Maybe there is an ideological difference between folks like us who think going to school is just third weirdest idea of parents (first and second position is held by brushing and bathing and that too daily!!), as compared to the kids studying in the government schools who find it as the only way out of the life they have been destined by the God-and-Murphy consortium!
Just think about it, most of the things we hate and generally take for granted are the most cherished things for some other people who aint so fortunate! Just look around and you will see what i mean - Morning time milk! Schools! Healthy Food! (burgers and pizzas do not count as healthy foods! )
Life is weird!

Hello,
First comment!
I have been silently reading your posts in past also and every time found them hilarious but sometimes worth 'giving a thought' afterwards also. This one belong to the latter category and I always felt the same way as you described the situation, not because my Mom teaches Social Studies too, but the other way around.
Btw, thanks for writing such stuff which is very handy for killing time for people like me, who keep online on gtalk and all other social networking sites which constitutes 70% of the total time (excluding sleeping hours).
Yeah!! I belong to that category jiske liye padhai was ever important till i joined here in IT BHU :D
hey u forgot to mention all her students scored more than 90 in social...something which v both cudnt ever do... :D
Loved this post!!!! :)
My sympathies for waking up so early.I can understad how it feels.
My mom also teaches Social Science to 8-9-10 students and I used to hate the subject in school!
Every person leaves a trail behind for someone else to look and say "what a man, that fellow is !" ; You are the fellow to me : nameless and faceless guy. Good going bhaiya... bas lage raho !
