The Story Thus Far

Greetings ....

So, i must confess my inadequate skills at writing blogs and must apologize for it. But then, who cares? I don't.

To begin with, it feels nice to be THE Eco guy in school. Alright, it is common knowledge that no guy (maybe with the exception of Dibyojyoti Mainak) comes close to me as far as any kind of stature is concerned. There is a lot of power as the ECONOX President (maybe less only to the EXUN President) and since I know I'm the best guy in Eco, I really have no probs in sending myself for inter-schools.

Now what makes me really believe in myself is the fact that I am very comfortable in public speaking. Gone are the days when I would shiver on stage and then mess up my speech trying to cover it up. Now, I just go on the stage and have a ball. I love public speaking and I am so damn sure that had I really come of age maybe three years ago, I would have been on top of the debating circuit. But then, never mind. I'll manage with being the best symposium speaker as of now.

Quizzing ... hehehe. I took up quizzing because I had to prove things to my very dear friend, Shubham Prakhar. I would say that I've done well for myself considering that I have been quizzing only for three years now. Maybe if I had got more time to invest in building up a team, things may have been different. I must thank Shubham for sending me for all those quizzes that he sent me for. Maybe he wasn't really being magnanimous, just professional, when he did so. But I am like a hungry wolf; I leap at every opportunity that comes my way.

As for the curriculum, I must confess that I study, maybe 30% of what I used to do in Classes VIII and IX. But I still score higher than most people in class. I really can't help that I score. Don't think of me as a bookworm because of that. Please, I am anything but that. The point is, I LOATHE the CBSE exam system. Its a pointless system. Had talent really mattered, me and Shubham would have been topping nationally, no doubt. We're as good as they come.

Anyways, a lot of exciting things are coming. (1) A symposium at St. Columba's. I am looking forward to this one. I'm sure the competition will be tough . (2) A symposium at DPS Mathura Road. Half my team will be going to Sanskriti the same day. So, my cheering squad will be depleted. (3) The Heritage India Quiz. This is what I am looking forward to the most. After all, I love history.
