OK..This is going to be a little tricky..My memory is betraying me.It's giving haath !![Ashwin coined that term by the way:P]I'm not sure if we went to Muninagar before or after internals.Lets not digress.Assuming that the date doesn't matter I'll carry on with my monologue.
I've somehow always always been staunch and diligent as far as internals have been concerned.I've been ridiculed a billion times for that,even been derided a couple of times.And unsurprisingly I haven't made any attempt to change that. You see the reason I'm so staunch is simply because I'm a big fat lout when it comes to unleashing my non-existent skills that my classmates are endowed with. Their success stories span so far and wide that even I, the stubborn critic can't help but admire and laud them. I thought I'll spread the joy and make their exploits well known;)
The paragon for people like me definitely has to be..Manju and Arpitha
Arpitha for her flawless imitation of being the perfect student and her stupendous confidence with which she carries out her work .[And also for having written internals for the wrong paper!!!Beat that!!!]
Manju for being the boldest, unabashedly reckless student who was honored by the Principal himself with the coveted novel 'Alchemist' for having figured in the list of the top scoring students!!:P
Notable among the others are Nandini, for her eclectic mix of talent in understanding the psyche of the teachers to predict the questions that would appear and her compass like sense-of-direction while determining the seating arrangements of the people who surround her.
Deepika, relying on her intuition to decide if the time and is favourable for copying ,Archana for her innovative answer hunting techniques. Chotu,Manisha,Ipsita,me are on the side of boring virtue and bland goodness.
Micros, Writing Out of the class , and endless hours of discussion for procuring the question paper..Man!!I thank my stars for not having made my friends as boring as I am!Glad that their esoteric talents have never failed to impress upon the importance of courage and confidence in me. I hope this continues for all eternity!Or atleast be imprinted in my unreliable memory for ever!:)
