When i was in 5th STD rahul, my cousin who is of my age joined my school. Since it was far for him to come from his home daily, he stayed at my home. I & he use to go to school together. It was hardly about 10-15min walk from my home to school. Firstly, i was so happy that i got a playmate at my home. But soon i realized i started hating him since i need to share all my freedom with him. My sister who was 5 yrs elder than me was busy with her matriculation. Myself & rahul use to sleep together & in the morning at 6am we use to rush to get up & take positions in front of wash basin & bathroom!
Days went & it reached the end of rainy season, i.e. in early November one of my relative suggested my mom to make me write the entrance test of a Prestigious Residential School in the district. Thus I & rahul decided to write the test. We had a book which my sister bought from one of her friend for the preparation of the test. We were too lazy & never gone through the book. The test was in the mid of winter season. We both went & wrote the test. The test consisted of Mental Ability, English Vocabulary & General Mathematics. For me & him it was quite easy! When i reached home i found the fact that i left the HALL TICKET at the exam hall itself! But i was proud of myself remembering my roll no - M6945 :-)
My 5th STD ended up as a normal academic year, in b/w i forgot about the entrance test.rahul went to his home for vacation & suddenly a day the results were published in news paper. My mom found that rahul got selected! Later while she asked me my roll no i found that i forgot the same... but i by hook or by crook told her a no by guessing it as M6925! I was just remembering only the M series & not the digits. I peeped inside the newspaper & found that the number is not there. My mom started firing me - “njaan appozhe paranhatha avalkku kittilla ennu...” ( She meant that i won’t pass the test & get selected ).later my dad rang to the school & inquired about my result & found me selected... I cursed my memory... my roll number was M6945 :-)
