THIRD DIVISION:
Pradeep and Puspa had two sons the eldest one Bidhata passed his
school examination in first division and entered college. The second son
Sudipta was doing well in semester, tuition classes and his teachers had high
expectations from him. So his father had no hesitation in employing good but
costly tution masters. Bidhata to everyone surprise failed in 1st
year but his father did not tell him anything about the poor result.Sudipta
appeared the metric examination and got a 3rd division.
His father was very much annoyed and was disgusted with the
result. Lots of money was spent over the years so naturally his relatives and
friends ridiculed Sudipta’s parents.
The father
asked ‘’ what went wrong-son, we spent so much time and energy for you for this
3rd division? Our servant’s son has got 2nd division of
his own without any guidance or tuition but you idiot have brought shame to our
family name??”
Sudipta without any repentance or sorrow said with a smiling
face ‘’so what- father? Someone getting a Bronze in Olympic is like a third
division, gets one crore rupees, congratulations from President and PM of
India, Gandhi used to travel in third class so what is wrong in my getting a
third division in Matric?”
“Sorry son I did not realized our country has changed so
much over the years but you must remember your father never stood second in any
examination throughout his life.”
