12th Standard - Villain

You can blame it on our good luck that we landed in Indore and I thank my father for this. If we would have remained in Jabalpur then I would have never learnt what IT is and I would have been happy working as a secretary somewhere. We came to Indore in 1998 and I had one year of schooling left before moving to college.

Since we were from south, we got admission to a south Indian school SICA ( South Indian Cultural Association). I failed in my entrance exam, it was totally different and that day I realized how different these big cities are and how advanced the studies are as compared to small cities like 'Jabalpur'. I started my struggle, first with the new environment, then with the new syllabus and then with the CBSE pattern as compared to the Madhya Pradesh pattern followed in my earlier school. I didn't even pass a single unit test thought my term and it put enormous pressure on me. For the first time in my history, I failed in an unit test. This was not something that I could digest because I as a student have never scored less than second rank throughout my schooling.

I started studying hard but it was like a blind man crossing the road with no guidance. Even though I put in my best efforts the results couldn't improve and I just managed to secure a first class in my final exam. I was a much relieved man but this one year had a adverse effect on my health. I grew fat and I started experiencing headaches more frequently, doctors diagnosed me as having low blood pressure.
