    • When Quality climbs
    I sleep in humble hamlet or better to call it as developing city. Few days back I was attending a “bakar” with my uncle and cousins. As I am an IITian, they were looking for suggestion from me about admission of my cousins in the new session. I never suggest anybody to read in bandikui. So as usual I suggested my uncle to send their children to jaipur in Saint Xavier or something else.

    They consorted but then certain issues came into picture about their lodging and messing. I suggested hostels but they are very expensive. So they dropped the plan.

    But still desire of sending their children to English medium school was there in their psyche. English-Medium schools in my village are just like girls in IITs. Recently my old schools opened a branch as English Medium CBSE pattern schools. This was hope for my uncle. He went to schools with his smallest child. My Cousin wrote test and got succeed. Now the story of upgrades…

    *Here are snapshots of discussion among my cousin, my uncle and the principle of new English School (PNS).

    Upgrade No.1:

    My cousin owns old Hindi books.

    PNS:  Hey these are your brand new English books… So leave the old ones and start mugging them.

    My Cousin: Ok… I will tryyy

    Upgrade No. 2:

    PNS: Hey… This is your new uniform. Keep it clean and I should see you only in this uniform in school time.

    My Uncle:  But what will be use of  his brand new “old school” uniform.

    PNS: Just threw it…

    Upgrade No.3:

    PNS to my uncle:  Now your child is in English Environs. So try to maintain it at home also…  Use Breakfast in place of “Nastaa/Kaleo”, Lunch for “KHANA” and Dinner for “Byadu”.

    *Kaleo and Byadu are local terms which we use in our village.

    My Uncle:  We will do, if we can…

    These were normal upgrade but the 4th one is what on which I couldn’t stop my laugh.

    Upgrade No.4

    It was the time of registration.

    My Uncle paid fees and when PNS was entering his name in Fees Book and Registration Record, She asked about my cousin’s name from my Uncle.

    My Cousin had a very classical name.

    My Uncle: “LaxmiKant”

    PNS: “ahh….  Let’s change it. So From now your son would be known as “Lakshya”

    I asked to myself “is there any relation b/w name and Medium of study???”

    Can’t he perform well with so good name “LaxmiKant”..

    OR do that Medium got so many rights that it can even change the name that was given to my cousin by his loving grandfather??

    But what could I do..??

    When I heard… I just laughed and written this..
