Life does indeed have this strange or quirky ability of doing justice to you on the rebound; one ,may decide to end one's life in a fleeting moment of weakness of self pity and weakness; but then life not only restores your lost pride and honour but also elevates you to the pedestal of a hero or heroine........
Urvi Singh a class X student of the national capital's ultra prestigious Delhi Public School (DPS) belatedly saw her honour and pride being restored from her heavenly abode (Urvi committed suicide on April 12) as she secured the much coveted CGPA of 10 in the results declared by her school on Tuesday.........
Urvi in a moment of untold weakness had decided to end her fledgling life on April 12 as she had failed to clear the internal screening test conducted by her school authorities for provisional admission to class XI on March 27, 2014........
Despite being a topper throughout the school authorities (DPS bigwigs) for reasons known only to themselves chose not to enrol Urvi in the science stream in class XI citing the results of her internal screening test that were announced on April 10,2014 (i.e. a mere two days before she committed suicide).........
A remorseless and conscienceless school administration however steadfastly refuses to admit it's cardinal error and stands by the conclusions drawn by it's internal assessors while Urvi's classmates lament the fact that they cannot congratulate Urvi personally on her noteworthy and stupendous achievement.........
As two of her closest friends and confidantes Ankit and Ahana pithily remarked, "Urvi was always a topper throughout her eventful school life, she was brilliant in her studies and always set an example for the rest of us, then why did she choose to end her life that was yet to bloom prematurely, should we blame our school authorities for the shoddy state of affairs or then fate", they sign off.........
An immensely proud yet inconsolable Jitendra Singh (Urvi's father) who is a builder by profession says, "I had no doubt whatsoever about my irreplaceable daughter's abilities and had predicted this result on the very day she sat for her examinations, my daughter was a sincere and meritorious student who had aced every examination and always stood in the top three in her class yet her school authorities decided to bypass her impeccable credentials and fail her in the screening test; Urvi was shocked and dismayed when she learnt that her name was not amongst the thirty that had been admitted to the science stream in class XI and hence she decided to end her life as she felt that she had let us down", he laments while squarely blaming the school authorities for his doting daughter's premature demise.........
The fact of the matter is that so called centres of excellence like the supposedly infallible Delhi Public School have become a law unto themselves and not only developed this growing feeling of invincibility but an equally thick and impervious hide to boot.........
One fails to wonder why the school's principal and bigwigs fail to realise the fact that their internal assessment is conducted by a group or gaggle of individuals who might be governed by prejudices, prone to playing favourites and putting certain chosen one's before other's who fail to make the cut in their biased and jaundiced view..........
Can a PITHY AND MANIPULATIVE INTERNAL ASSESSMENT TEST OVERRULE AND OVERTAKE A NATION WIDE ASSESSMENT EXAMINATION THAT BOASTS OF COMPUTERISED RESULTS AND ALSO ALLOWS CANDIDATES OR STUDENTS THE PRIVILEGE OF REVIEWING OR REASSESSING THEIR RESULTS IF THEY ARE DISSATISFIED BY THEM......well each and every one of you are more than inherently capable of drawing your own conclusions..........
