The day my greatest nightmare became true....

15-06-06 yet another remarkable day in ma diary. The day my nightmare became true.
It was hot sunny afternoon. Home alone...all ma family members were out of station...actually I cancelled ma prog in da last moment. Wz bored and thought of spendin some time at Uday's place....Left to BHEL on ma Kinetic.
After reaching ma destination as usual I peeked through the gate....I couldnot find him. I gathered all my courage and opened the gate and walked in. buzzed da door bell and Uday opend. I quickly jumped into his houz....
after a small chat v thought of goin out....I was standin at ease outside da door and Uday was locking the door....
Now these were the moments when my nightmare became true...
All of a sudden to my surprise...I dont know frm which corner of the building he came from....he rushed towardz me and caught hold of my right leg.....
By the time I could realise what was going on, my leg was in the mouth of Sonu....doggie of my freind...
Out of confusion i ran a few steps....this time he firmly caught hold of my leg....
I was screaming......at the top of my voice....
Hearing me my freind came rushingly and pulled Sonu aside....

Right from my childhood I was afraid of two thingz...first being dogz and second Injections....
As a result of Sonu's love towardz me I had to get injected 5 timez....(3/5 completed till date)

The funniest part of the whole episode was when I went to the doc....and said him dat dog bit me...
doc said "We have to keep dog under observation for 10 dayz" ...... I was left spellbound.

English or Merit????

Is it merit or fluency in English that counts for admission into a school???
The CBSE topper Garima who scored 97.6% was denied admission into the prestigious DPS just 'coz she was from a Hindi medium School. When a student could clear or pass the class 10 examinations with 97.6% of marks and having english as a subject how far is it judged, denying her a seat in the institution jus coz of a lame reason that she was not fluent in English??? cant she continue with the higher studies with the English which she learnt in school? When a topper doesnt get a seat in an institution of her choice then what is the necessity of conducting examinations?

What does this education system aim at basically??? What is education meant for???
In this case another question arises. What exactly is the reason for denying Garima admission? Is it just the matter of English or is it the matter of economic/financial condition of the student? Garima was a daughter of Police Conistable and she was from a rural background after all Education is supposed to bring about equality in all the aspects.

There are many such situations where in a student is denied of admission into prestigious institutions due to lack of right accent in english or else due to poor economic conditions.

When institutions like D.P.S. are not ready to accept children from hindi or any regional language medium schools then what for are such schools meant for??? Why does government still set up schools with a medium of instruction as Hindi or any other regional language??? why cant it set up schools with English as medium of instruction??? why not it change the entire Education system where in medium of instruction for some subjects is regional language and for rest of them it is English...???? After all English is the minority language in our country but it is the ruling language...

Garima who aspires to become an I.A.S. has joined D.A.V public school in Delhi and even Indian Public School, Dehradun has offered her admission with 100% scholarship. But her dream to get admission into D.P.S. has been shattered....

A special feeling of the heart.....

How do I get from point A to point B?
How do I make you, my love see?
I try to show you with my touch,
That I love you oh so much.
You ask me not to let you in,
But thats to late it's already began.
I know it scares you so,
Every time I let you know.
But this is something you just cant deny.
So you look in my eyes and let out a gentle sigh.
We felt it almost from the start,
This special feeling of the heart

So I lay here at night slowly drifting to sleep.
As dreams of you into my mind do creep.
I hear your voice as I go along.
It sounds like a beautiful love song.
I see your face each and every day.
And wish I had the chance to look at you and say,
I love you my darling in each and every way!
