Parth — The thrilling bold who never misses his every target

Hello, Readers. Welcome to the new blog from the ‘Circle of Life` Category. It’s the author’s Birthday. No, read this blog and wish me later! This blog is about my story. Do enjoy, learn and share.

I was born on 07/05/1998. At that time, playground and nursery were not much popular. But my parents were sending me to one teacher’s home before joining school nearby our house. I can still visualize that loving lunchbox I was carrying! It’s not that I am in love with Animals nowadays. I was in love with Penguins when I started going to school. My father, being an artist, used to draw them in my notebook. When I started going to school, I was not writing anything in a notebook. My class teacher was complaining to my Mother for few days. After the deep conversation, the teacher came to know that I write using my left hand & she was trying for my right hand. In KG, I remind one incident in school. One day, I went to the washroom during the class was going on. When I was returning, I forgot my class and entered the wrong! In my entire school carrier, I scored the lowest 68% in KG. After that, I never look back, and you know the typical parents!

Score more, more happiness! I and my warrior studied in the same primary school as it was co-ed. For few days, I was joining my warrior’s group for lunch. Our neighbour purchased one toy kit. So, we used to play together. One day, something happened & we fought so, my parents promised me to buy the same. It is about when I was in 4th. There was one cute girl who was sitting between me & my friend. I can remember that in few periods, we used to play with a compass and all. You will be laughing the same as me every time I remind that. There are a lot of memories from the 5th. 2nd Prize in 5th! Topped Primary Scholarship Exam! Cracked Jawahar Navodaya Exam, only because of Natvar Sir! Hats off to you for daily classes. But he was too strict in school for punishment. There was so much AWE in students as he was a Maths teacher. There was a rumour that our Science teacher, Jignasha Ma’am, never repeat a sari!

Another proud moment which I cherish is that one day in free period, one Ma’am asked one riddle and the way I cracked everyone shocked including her! On the day of the Mid-term exam result, I and Vaibhavi were fighting for who is first. I forgot Math and fighting to become first. But there were two sad moments too! Vidhi and Dhruval, two of my good friends, got fracture on the left hand and leg, respectively. Then comes 6th that gave me Favourite teachers, Urvashi Ma’am and Payal Ma’am. Urvashi Ma’am was teaching Science and class teacher also. For the first time, I became a class monitor, though fourth. I am still into her discipline teachings! One day during English class, Naina Ma’am was teaching us to write an essay in the four-line note. There are two methods to write one is using a hyphen & another is not using it. There was confusion with me & I wrote wrong. The way Ma’am scold me, I started crying.

Payal Ma’am has a next-level impression on me. Everyone has a desire to do more to be admired. So, I drew all maps from the Social Science book, showed those to her & she praised that. One day, my mom beat me up like never because I could not remember mathematical tables! Our neighbour elder lady rescued me that day. Around those days only, my head got five stitches as my head collided with the corner of the walls. 7th was also memorable because the first time, I scored below 90%, i.e. 89%. But there is something more. Top in my class in Maths Competition! 2nd Runner-up in Monotonous Competition, as a Shin-chan! My parents always forced me to sit in the first row in class. But our class teacher had a different method of seating arrangement & for the first time, I seated in the last row.

Then the bullying began in my life. Rohan Morawala and Mehul Prajapati, two bench-mates, were not letting me study anything. They were disturbing without any point. I could not sit on a bench so, I used to stand during class. One day, our principal was on around. He came to the last window which was beside me. He found me standing so he asked me the reason & I spoke the truth. He came into class and scolded both of them. But they started different methods so, I complained to my class teacher. Finally, he changed my seating arrangement to the first row.

But life changed when I came into 8th — Secondary Education! I got another favourite teacher, Varsha Ma’am, who was teaching us Maths and class teacher also. My parents also admitted me to the ‘Unique Tuition Classes’. From the school, I want to share only one incident. My tuition classes were in the morning & one of my mates participated in the ‘Science Fair’. So, a few of us went to school with his things. But Varsha Ma’am needed one more student to help her out on exhibition day. Unfortunately, I was wearing my primary school uniform & I could not take part. But she made me a promise that she will take me next year. Like a mom promise to her child! Talking about tuition classes, I had a best friend named Rahul Varu aka Varu. The amusing thing is that we were fighting to sit on a corner of the ‘first bench’. At that time around, we purchased Computer, a Lenovo All-in-One PC. For many years, my father blamed himself for buying a computer because I was using a computer a lot. But that helped me to Fail Fast!

That promise to the child came true in the next year itself. Varsha Ma’am was teaching us Maths again in 9th standard. When the event announced, Ma’am came to class and discussed the same. The concept behind the project was the 10th standard’s Maths theory — Arithmetic Progression. 9th students do not know & she described on board. When she asked us if anyone interested, I & my batch-mate Nirav Gondaliya aka Nannu raised our hand. In K. & M. P. Patel S. V., Science Fair preparation was like annual function preparation. Most of the time, students and teachers were in the science lab working on their projects. Hardly attending classes! We prepared a wooden model of Arithmetic Progression using transparent colour paper and LEDs. We reached ‘District Level’ in that Science Fair & it was a great experience working with Ma’am and Nannu. Other than that, I also participated in another project in a team led by Ma’am. In that project, we were working on Water Purity in the locality. Always deliver more than expected! I used to give speeches on special occasions or festivals after prayer during secondary school. The two Supervisors were very impressed by the initiative. I was too much into sports. Our neighbour gave me their son’s old skating to learn it. Yeah, it took time & when we did the race, I used to come 1st or 2nd. If you remember that toy kit, I made a stump of that for net practising of bowling.

But the coin has two sides. In every class/school, you will one or more students who feel that they own the school. For me, that was Jayveer Atodariya & his grandfather was a trustee. Next to him was Raviraj Solanki. Jayveer was a monitor of our class & the science teacher asked him to look out for anyone who is talking or not paying attention. One day, he misused his power and told sir that I was not paying attention. He never listens to any argument. He says that why did you do that & you have to say without arguing. So, he punched me in the back and asked me to sit outside class. Kaurav vs Parth! On one Sunday, I was reading a Newspaper & Jayveer asked me to give him. I said that I would give it after I complete it. But he owns the school, that I forgot. The verbal fight we had! Next Level! One day, my school organized one exhibition for cultural things. My mom gave me two bags of collection & management impressed with my exhibition stuff. The Supervisor Ma’am asked our Social Science teacher to give full marks for that activity.

And we come to the first board. Most ever-important year in every students’ life, as per parents and teachers. Highest score in Maths in school! Once again participated in Science Fair on ‘Salt Water Farming’ project and reached the district level. And loved days in the Science lab! After the mid-term exam’s result and 9th result, management decided to create a ‘Star Class — 10F’ for selected topper students. It’s clear that if I am mentioning something proud moment then it is for me! During 10th Standard, Viraj Surati, residing nearby, was my travel partner for going to school and coming back. Another cherishing thing is that I was the best at playing the Mellophone during my 8–10. Talking about tuition life, I was much famous for my maths in class. Most of them can remind & Beena Mandaviya is a different case! We had a good bond, for maths. I can not forget that shocking slap from Pramod Sir because I was sleeping on the first bench during his class in the morning.

On one Sunday, there was a Social Science exam in my tuition class during Science Fair preparation. I had zero interest in teacher and paper. Without telling at home, I went to my partner’s place to work on that project on weekends. On Monday, Pramod Sir checked attendance & I was absent for two days. He called my parents & everyone shocked because no one knowing about my ‘BUNK’. I had no idea of bunking at that time & they threatened me. On the morning of result day, my warrior was much keen to know my result. I did not wake up yet & she checked from mobile and shouted 96.05 %tile. Everyone shocked! It is the cherish-able for me, not because of marks, for the kiss by my Dad. It was a more proud moment for him than me because he had to show his family that he could not do well. He has a strong willingness to make their children great.
