LOLZ! That always happens to me!!!!1 Even if one point is less..... " I helped u study, Where is the last mark?". If i say i missed a question..... " U dint study hard enough, bevakoof!!!". Lets just say if I made an 80....... "Sampath( my dad), Dekho, Dekho, Yeh Ladki 80 marks leke aai hai, isko samjao aur iska problem is se pucho!!!". That was the last time i made an 80.

The sad part is even if we do better than a gora, the gora will always get some kind of electronic or reward,while all we get is a lecture about education and some extra work.
