Long Kept Silence...

Yes. I apparently know that there is hardly anybody out there on this entire globe who follows my blog regularly... (If there is anybody, let me know)... So it hardly matters if or if not I do update my blog or post any damn shit...!!! So even after the greatest news of my entire life, I have not posted anything of my blog... Because I know that nobody cares...

The greatest news of my life is that I scored 96.15% in my S.S.C. exam... Yes i.e. 625/650... I scored 150/150 in Maths, 90/100 in Marathi, 99/100 in Social Science, 100/100 in Science and 99/100 in Sanskrit and SURPRISINGLY 87/100 in English... I have made the record in my school... The result was declared on 25th June 2009... But in fact I had understood the result 2 days ago... (I informed my result first of all to my dear friends Omkar, Sanket, Janhavi, Bharati, Pradeep and Namrata.
Nikhil Kerkar - 99.07% (95.23% + 25 marks of sports... He played some state level game which I neither even had heard the name of!!), Sneha Kanekar - 90%, Omkar Madiwalar, 92%, Ashay Dhuri 94%, Adwait Sonar 94%, Sanket Rudre 89%... These are some of my friends' percents... Now I would really like to mention my hard competitor (whom I now miss a lot I don't know why) Gauree Aravkar who got 95.79%... She used to travel about 20kms daily to reach the school, she had done no classes or any paper series and yet she scored such a great percent that I am happy for her more that what I am for me...
Few days before the result there was a rumour, which I knew was sure to be false that I had secured 1st rank in the state... Yes it was highly impossible, because I was in an English Medium School IN MAHARASHTRA!!! But I hoped that I might have secured at least first rank in the district... On the day of the result, my school had arranged for a huge procession as they were damn sure that with such a giant score I was surely going to be 1st in district at least... Which apparently didn't happen... Two girls named Shruti Sawant and Pooja Thakur had scored 629... Yet as they were from Marathi Medium, my achievement was nothing less than a miracle... So I was awarded a silver coin and 2000 Rs and a grand procession was held in the entire town...
For about next 3 days I had all types people wishing me on phone and in personal... Friends, reatives, Baba's friends POLITICIANS (who came just to take a pic with me while feeding me a pedha or giving me a bouquet and published in in the next day's daily)... But great was the day when I first understood my percentage...
I would like to narrate this incident partcularly because it is really very close to heart... I and Baba very trying utmost to get the resut since 20th... On 23rd Deuskar sir (my Sanskrit sir) had come to teach me Sanskrit, yes I had started my study of Sanskrit for FYJC. We had just started a new chapter when Baba screamed loudly 'DADU' (that is what he calls me) and came running in my room... Aai and Jui followed him... He and Aai were literally CRYING!!! He opened the door DHAAAAMMMMMM!!! And said " Sujay, result kallay mala... Sang baghu kiti milale astil??" (I know the result... Guess your marks)... Now atleast I knew that the result was really great and I lost all the fear of bad result... I said that I didn't knew... In fact I expected something near 94%... He screamed again, "96%"... And that was the first time I saw him crying... I had not seen him crying even when my Aaji (granny) expired even though she was really close to him... Aai was not able to speak anything.... Jui was jumping... In midst of this, Deuskar sir was just smiling... Ya!! what can we expect an elderly person to do on such an occasion when he is seeing a Doctor crying with happiness??? Baba then hugged me... Wiped his eyes and became serious and warned me that I should not tell the result to anybody before the official declaration... I promised him so... But next day entire Kudal new this news as Baba himself out of excitement had told my marks to each and every living person on the world by now by calling them PERSONALLY...
Smita Mavshi gave me Rs. 10,000, Akerkar Kaka Rs. 10,000 and school Rs. 2000
The total awards, gifts, greetings I recieved summed up to about Rs. 45,000. But the greatest gift I got was on the day I got my result and I saw what happiness really means in the eyes of my PARENTS...

P.S. I have not asked for anything from my parents and instead I bought a new Samsung Star cell phone for Aai who used to use an old model of mobile and always cursed it... It costed about Rs. 11,000 and I bought it to her from my rewards... I think that the phone now really means a lot to her... Afterall it is my first EARNING!!! :)
