I found a diamond again !

I again found a diamond. I guess Sundays are meant to be ‘millionaire’ days for me. This Sunday Hitesh rode me on his bike so the thrilling part of Anup’s moped was missing. Alisha was already on her action when we arrived. We found some new admission in our paathshala as well. Again we were waved at and greeted by the little palms of the children. My ears always love the sound of their squeals. They all are so amiable.

Alisha announced “This boy Rohit didn’t bath today.” I looked at Rohit but he didn’t look like without bath. Rohit said “I’ve a cold. So I didn’t bath.” Lawyer Alisha argued “A few minutes ago he was telling that 12.00 pm is time for him to bath. So he didn’t.” I thought the boy has a point. Then Alisha told them to collect their notebooks. As usual they all rushed to grab them. Alisha got irritated. She asked “What’s wrong? Why are you guys are behaving like animals? Didn’t I tell you about the difference between an animal and a human being? You all are behaving like animals today. Our spark boy Rohit replied “I’ll choose to be Donkey” I smirked. Again the boy has a point. I was just folding the chart of TABLES. Rohit was standing near me and was staring at the chart. I asked him to recite the table of 5. He recited it quickly in the rhythm. I saluted his ability of mugging up. We continued up to 14th then he started to make mistakes. I told him to prepare for it. He was writing the numbers in Hindi. I asked him to write in English, and what I noted was his style of writing the alphabet. Quiet odd it was. Some letters were in mirror image too. Then I taught him the proper method of writing the alphabet. We practiced writing the B for more than half an hour. In a whole page, each and every line just contained only B. I just want to teach him not to do the things just because you have to. Do it by heart. If you make a good start but don’t continue it then all the beautiful beginnings will go in vain. Then we moved on to C. It didn’t bother him much. But at D, he started again to struggle. We continued on D until end of class. He was exhausted in the end. But still his eyes were shining. Still he was talking with the same energy. He was making different excuses all time after writing each line. And he has a point all those times. In between those exercises, his mom came to check him out and even at one step she slapped him for his mistake. I told her not to but she just went away. The boy is really smart. He won’t let you win in arguments. I think he has nice sense even though he’s studying in just 2nd standard. His cheeks were dried up. I can see it turned in to small bruise. But he didn’t care for it. He didn’t even know it. He is a cousin of Nikita Sharma the girl who counts on the fingers of both hands simultaneously. You can understand that my second diamond almost has genes of her. I just wonder how they both are so clever. I just wonder about the life they live. But now I am sure that they both are diamonds we have found. I’m a millionaire now.
