MB(a)?
And where ‘a’ can stand for almost. I still have one paper to get through.
I conveyed the results to my mom, and her first reaction was ,’ Epdiyum paadhi paper dhaaan pass pannuve nu nenachen! Epdi ivlo pass pannine?’ Such lofty expectations have always been the hallmark of my mom. She always sees the glass as quarter full when its three-fourth empty.
She is the eternal optimist at home. The typical dialogue goes like this.
Me:”Industry seri illai… velai pochu na enna pannuradhu?”
Mom:”Seri ippo enna.. edhavadhu chinna ooruku poi epdiyavadhu pozhachukalaam!” as if i am complaining about a mosquito problem.
My university lived up to my stringent expectations by awarding me ‘80′ in my worst paper as an examinee. I myself would not give ‘80 if i correct it. I told this in office, and they are like,’Neenga vera prabu,subject maathi padichutu poi ellam pass pannirukom!
But then I have failed in one subject where I definitely would’ve passed. So there you go with poetic justice!
