On the final Parents teacher meet of Mishti's school in chennai, all the parents were given the report cards, the test papers and the class photograph. Mishti's class teacher- Muthu Miss asked me to check everything and also said that she wants to talk to me once the meeting is done, so I need not leave.
Muthu Miss was one of those Chennaites, who was brought up in Maharashtra and hence we shared a sspecial connection. She often spoke to me in hindi or Marathi about how nice Maharashtra is and how she misses speaking in hindi here. I thought as this was our last meeting, she might be looking forward for another long talk.
Mishti was already excited to see all her friends in a single photo and started playing the game of finding out who's Azma and who is Afsa among the twin sisters in her class.
I was enjoying the game and hence ignored the report card or the test papers.
When everyone was gone, Muthu Miss came back and asked if I had gone through the test papers. I was a little ashamed about my ignorance towards those important papers and said that I was about to check them.
Muthu Miss : Ma'am did you see her G.K paper?
Me: No....sorry..did she make too many mistakes?
Muthu Miss: No Ma'am she has done extremely well lIke always but check the last page.
I checked the last page and everything was ticked correct. So I could'nt get her point
.
Muthu Miss : Ma'am ..on this page we had given them some questions which were not taught to them. They had to answer them as they wished. Now please look at the last question and Sidhiksha's answer.
The question was :
Q- What we can not buy with money?
Answer - Mamma.
I was speechless.just lIke I am right now :)
