It was my first day in my school after shifting. I studied upto 5th standard in my previous school which shut down due to some reason. So, in this school I had to go in 6A8(my section). In my previous school, the class boards were written in normal numbers like 5-A. And over her they were written in Roman numbers like VA-7, like that. And I was really weak in Roman numbers. So when I reached the new school, I was irritated at the fact of the class plates being in Roman form. However I knew that 6 was IV or VI but not sure. So what I did was I stood in front of IV-A8, thing it was VI-A8. And 15 minutes passed like that and not a single student entered the class. I was like, "They all had to be absent today?!". Then a teacher passed by me. She asked me which class I was in. I just pointed to IV-A8 . She just smiled and left, not a single word uttered from her mouth. Then with all my guts, I went in the vacant classroom, took off my abaya, kept my bag and was just roaming in the class. Suddenly I noticed a Roman numerals chart in the class, When I saw it, I directly saw the Roman numeral for the number "6", it was "VI". I did not remember which class I entered in, so I went outside the class to check it, I saw IV but until that I had forgotten what was on the chart, IV or VI. So, once again went back in the class, came out of the class. Then I knew what a big blunder I had made! Wore the Abaya, put the bag on, switched off the lights, fan and AC's(yeah it had 3 AC'S). Stood outside for couple of minutes and as I am an introvert, I was not free to ask people where was VI-A8. But now a lot of time passed. There was a girl just running to her class, as the first period already started and in a haste I asked her to please direct me to VI-A8. she refused first, as she was getting late, but then I insisted so she agreed. She took me to the 2nd floor, and pointed out at the end of a corridor and said that it was the last class in the corridor. I said thank you but she ran in an opposite direction not listening to me... However when I finally reached the class, already 20 minutes were over. A poster making competition was going on.. My class teacher welcomed me, introduced me, asked me to fill a form and then handed me the poster and explained me the topic, it was, "Environment Day"! While making the poster, I took an oath to learn Roman numbers perfectly. And later on I learned that actually 3-5 grades were having holidays. So now I know why that teacher just smiled and went... However this was the most embarrassing moment of my life which now you know. By the way, now I am in 9th in that same school, IISJ. My previous school, HIS. In Jeddah, KSA! True incident..

Is it relatable..

Anyone from Jed, KSA?

And anyone studying in IISJ or used to study in HIS?

Hope bought a smile on your face and made your day!

Ajourney with my father adapted from my reminiscences by sir rabindranath tagore probably in order to teach me to be careful, my father placed a little small change in my charge and required me to keep an account of it. he also entrusted me with the duty of winding his valuable gold watch for him. he overlooked the risk of damage in his desire to train me to a sense of responsibility. when we went out together for our morning walk, he would ask me to give alms to any beggars we came across. but i never could render him a proper account at the end of it. one day, my balance was larger than the account warranted. "i really must make you my cashier," observed my father. "money seems to have a way of growing in your hands! " that watch of his i wound up with such indefatigable1 zeal that it had very soon to be sent to the watchmaker's in calcutta. i am reminded of the time when, later in life, i was appointed to manage the estate and had to lay before my father, owing to his failing eyesight, a statement of accounts on the second or third of every month. i had first to read out the totals under each head, and if he had any doubts on any point, he would ask for the details. if i made any attempt to slur over or keep out of sight any item which i feared he would not like, it was sure to come out. so, these first few days of the month were very anxious ones for me. as i have said, my father had the habit of keeping everything clearly before his mind—whether figures of accounts, or ceremonial arrangements, or additions or alterations to property. he had never seen the new assembly hall built at bolpur, and yet, he was familiar with every detail of it from questioning those who came to see him after a visit to bolpur. he had an extraordinary memory, and when once he got hold of a fact, it never escaped him. my father asked me to copy the favourite verses, with their translation, from the book he liked reading every day. at home, i had been a boy of no account. here, when these important functions were entrusted to me, i felt the glory of the situation. 1. tireless 7 how does the narrator support the idea that his father keeps everything clearly before his mind? a. by giving the example of his father's response when his account did not tally with the money that he had in hand b. by mentioning that his father was interested in everything that happened around him c. by giving the example of his father knowing every detail of the new assembly hall at bolpur d. by mentioning that his father had marked his favorite verses from his favorite book
