Aswin's parents went to Arun Sir, to hand over wedding invitation of their elder daughter.
Arun sir:- Didn't aswin come with you
Aswin mother: He is upset, is not interested to come with us
Arun Sir: He is upset as exams are approaching and he can't be able to focus better
Aswin mother: Yes sir. But please take care of him
Arun sir: He will take care of himself
At home, Aswin yelled at his parents. Every time you fix a marriage or a function just before my exams. Last year our house warming ceremony, the before year we planned Satyanarayana Puja.
I am unable to gain highest marks. He blurted out.
His mother called him down by caressing his hair and saying, this is the best match Akka can get. Please Understand
Aswin went to his room to study as he couldn't study all day long working on the marriage arrangements.
The exams were over and as expected Aswin didn't do score the highest. He didn't score bad either. Every year he felt, he is missing the chance?
In the day at tuition, all left but he stayed back to ask Arun Sir.
Am I cursed ?
I work hard, I am attentive, I practice but why can't I score the highest ?
Arun: Aswin, you should be happy you scored one of the best marks in the class.
Aswin: But not the highest .
Arun: Yes, he opened the mark sheet of Aswin and showed his answers. There were few mistakes in his answers like comma, formula errors, spellings, etc but I gave you benefit of doubt and gave marks in those problems.
Aswin: Sir, in a low tone
Arun Sir: In some you got the answer wrong as you didn't get time to check some nuances in the question. I didn't deduct full marks. I gave some marks for your presentation in the exam.
Aswin: Thank you Sir.
Arun: It's ok. Go, Be happy.
Aswin: He almost wore his slippers, a question came to his mind. He immediately went inside Arun sir house and asked him.
Sir, was it sympathy or about my character? What prompted you to give bonus marks
Arlun Sir: Both. Weightage is more on your character. We make mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. But always try to give your best in any situation.
Aswin: Ok sir.
Arun Sir: Always God multiplies your efforts towards success.
Zero efforts mean zero results.
Whatever Situation you are into, you will always get the best you could get. Because God adds some results from his side to yours.
Every time you get into a bad situation don't curse yourself, just say to yourself. I will give my best again.
Nice narration Suri. Thanks for taking an episode from our lives, firstly for remembering and then bringing it to ur writing to inspire and remind us to accept the situation. Once something has happened its past. Either think about present and how not to make same mistakes in future. While as humans we may repeat committing some of the mistakes and suffer similar consequences or escape on God's will.
ReplyDeleteThanks Abbayi
DeleteThe summary of the story what I got that, Aswin is very focused on his goal. Even after his best hardworking at odd circumstances he is not satisfied with his results. But Arun sir stated him that , due to Aswin's attitude towards his goal and his character made Arun sir a sympathetic approach towards Aswin. We always have to put our best efforts and that could be make us good one. Chiru, Very beautifully u described everything and taught us a beautiful lesson. I appreciate your little but worthful life lessons
