In the previous part, you read that everyone was staring at me while I was entering the classroom. Now let's dive into what happened next.
The results were out and almost everyone was aware of their result and of-course some carried the analysis of the results in their head too. Ashish and Sumit were one of that kind. Just tell them any name you know, he would come up with his/her marks within seconds. Paritosh topped the Physics with whooping 80 marks. Sujeet and Ashish also had similar statistics in their favorite subject. But I was surprised to see none of them was the overall topper. Can you guess who that was?
Well that was me. And probably that's why everyone was staring at me while I was entering the classroom. Nobody expected this from me. It was unbelievable for everyone and for me too. I was not that proactive in the class and that's why even professors were surprised at my performance. Before I enter the classroom, Professor Lalkishan had already announced the topper. Now everybody knew me. I occupied a seat with Sumit and Ashish to my Right. Since, the announcement of the result, whenever someone interacts with me, they would start the conversation like,"Bhaiya Kaise Kiya (How you did it?)".
In one of the very first interaction, the guy to my left asked me,'' How you did it?". "I just did what I was instructed to. I just do all assignments on time.", I replied.
"How do you manage to do assignments of both school and the institute", He replied.
Till then, no schools had started admission as per as my knowledge. So, out of curiosity I asked,"Which School? I don't know any school which have started their session till now". (Usually coaching institute starts their batches much before any school, ours batch was started even before our 10th board results).
"Actually I am in 10th standard and I study at DPS (Delhi Public School). I struggle a lot in managing school and institute both", He replied.
I was surprised. How can a student in 10th standard have guts to attend lectures with us😌😌 ? When I was in my 10th standard, I didn't even care to do my school assignments alone. How can he think of doing both? I had heard that some aspirants start preparation early and he was very first example of that to me. When I was about to speak, Ashish jumped in and started," Beta ye scheme tere lie nhi h. Phle 10th board pass kr le fir yha aana. ( Bro!, first complete your 10th standard and then come here for preparing for engineering entrance exams.)".
"Yha hmse paar lg nhi rha h, isse kaise hoga (Even we are struggling, how can he think of doing well among us)", Sumit followed.
I had huge respect for him for the guts he had, but still I suggested him not to worry about these entrance too early and save his energy for future. And if he really wants to continue at the institute, he should do all assignments. After this, he interacted with us 2-3 times to discuss doubts and ultimately, he got to know that this was not his cup of tea. So, he left institute within few days of our interaction. This was first ever dropout from our batch known to me. After him many others left the institute too. Who were they? Why they chose to leave the institute? I will let you know more about this in the later episodes.
Professor Lalkishan was discussing problem sheets of Atomic Structure that day. Since this chapter is more memorizing than any concepts, the discussion was over within minutes. He announced that the institute is being shifted to new building within 15-20 days. Yeah! our new institute premises was ready.
Before we shift to the new building, the institute started hiring teaching faculties very aggressively. We were yet to complete even 2 months there and we had to face new teaching faculties having little to no experience. Mr. Kovind Mishra was one of such faculties. I will introduce him and his teaching style in the later episode.
After the class, everyone was going crazy to know me, congratulate me and most importantly to ask,"Bhaiya Kaise Kiya (How you did it?)". I was pissed off hearing the same thing again and again. Now, I started telling "not to talk about results" to all as soon as they approached me for any reason under the sun. Though this behavior of mine gave me peace of mind for that moment, it hurt a lot of friends too.
