WISHING ALL THOSE WRITING PUBLIC EXAMS

BY P S SUNDAR

Sruthi, daughter of  Dubai-based K G Veeraraghavan (office executive) and Geetha (Bank officer) is taking up her Plus Two CBSE exam in Dubai.   Subhasree, daughter of S Venkatesan (Chartered Accountant) and Mahalakshmi (Music Teacher) is taking up her ICSE Tenth standard exam in Bangalore.  I wrote this mail, mutatis mutandis, wishing them but Management Resources Group Think Tank (MARG-TT) co-ordinator S Shyamala suggested my publishing it for the benefit of all.  Hence, herewith the crux of my mail ::


As your Board exams have begun, we once again pray to the Almighty to bless you with enough strength, confidence and positive mindset to take this pack of exams just as a festival for celebration.
Nothing to worry as we believe that the examiners do not know any question for which you do not know the answer. Which means, the entire question paper will be just to confirm that you know answers to all ..
And, just finish off this exam with all seriousness to reflect the hard work you had put in thus far but simply do not worry about results as Mahabharatha and Bhagavad Githa, in particular, advocate ... There is no equivalent to the pleasure received when you deliver your best to reflect your hard work in preparing for this day. .. So, give your best for your own satisfaction and not for a pressure to score the highest or to get admission in the course/college of your choice (these will follow automatically) ...
And, do remember, your parents and genuine well wishers (may we say, we come in this category) greatly appreciate all your hard work, sincere efforts and pristine intentions and will be with you lending required support to you forever! These exams are just yet another occasion for them (us) all to tell you how much we value you.


All the very best ..
