This is my first write up on this subject.every day I come across one or the other experience some good some bad . I start with some of my students who faced very difficult situations during board exams. Arun was my favourite student and probably would have been the topper that year but had to miss 3 exams as his grand father died just before his exams.Though he cleared the exam but his life took a turn after that. Harshvardhan a brilliant student was hospitalised during exams but decided to attend exams even though he had to reach the center in ambulance !
