Dear Mistry sir,
Today morning I dropped off my daughter at her examination centre. She is appearing for the Intermediate Drawing Exam. While I was going through her bag to see if she had packed all her art stuff, I remembered you. I thought of that day 3 decades ago.
While in school, I was amongst the toppers and mum thought that any time away from my study books was time ill spent. So most of my drawings used to completed by my neighbours. And they probably did a good job, to suitably impress you. Impress you so much, that you felt I had it in me to clear the Elementary Drawing examination. So on Day One of the exam, though I had made up my mind Not to appear for that exam, you came into my class, told me to pick up my bag and leave for I B Patel School, the venue of the exam. When I told you that I had not brought my drawing and painting material, you took me to Jayanti Stores and bought me all that was needed.
There was no getting away from this one. I appeared for that examination and cleared it. I was excited. You said, ‘mujhe pata tha’ . Later, I learnt from you in the drawing classes you conducted in the evenings and appeared for the intermediate exam too.
Today morning my daughter’s drawing teacher came to the exam centre and announced nonchalantly – ‘Atharva nahi aa raha hai' and saying this she herded her wards to one corner for last minute hints and instructions. I thought of you once again .
Thank you Sir.!
