Our predecessor who coined the term; "Try and try again until you succeed" certainly must have had this indomitable and persistent 82 year old gent in mind while conjuring up the same........
Meet 82 year old Shiv Charan alias Sheojiram and Pappu a life long resident of Kehori village in Rajasthan's Behror Town who appeared for the state board's class ten examinations for the 47th time and ended up flunking the same for the 47th time.......
This gent who appeared for the class ten examinations for the very first time way back in 1969 (yours truly's birth year) has also remained unmarried a la former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and many such other notables as he has taken a vow that he will only get married when he succeeds in clearing the examinations that have become the bane of his existence......
Riddled with or then wracked by medical ailments like rapidly failing eyesight; arthritis; asthma and such other ailments that usually affect people of his age; this indomitable and irrepressible gent bashfully admits that he came closest to passing these examinations in 1995 when he only failed to ace the mathematics paper by a mere five marks........
However his result this time around was the worst of them all as he ended up failing in every subject and even scored a zero in both Science and Social Studies; he however remains undeterred and resolute and swears that he will start from scratch once again and double his efforts to retake his bette noire for the 48th time and hopefully succeed in clearing time this time around.........
Eking out a pithy existence from the meagre amount that the state government doles out as pension for people of his vintage; this doughty Rajasthani "chhora" acerbically remarks that he is doubly determined to ace the class ten examinations in his 48th attempt in 2017 as he wants to enjoy the elusive comforts of married life before he breathes his last and is more than aware of the fact that his end is drawing near with the passing of every single day........
Here's wishing this exemplary octogenarian all the very best for his 48th attempt at clearing the state board's class ten examinations and hoping that he does indeed enter into holy matrimony with the woman of his dreams.........
