Party Time

Yes...
"The" results are out. And we all have cleared it with flying colors.
Here is the mail from Shashank:

Dear all, :-) :-)

This one, for sure, will blow off your head! :-)

All the Ananya kids who appeared for the NIOS exam for standard 10th have cleared MS Word Processing subject.
5 out of 6 have secured what you call as '1st division' :-)

All of them flunked in Mathematics but English results, in which all passed, are equally encouraging and heartening.

Here are the details:
[read it as Kid: Marks in English(max 100), Marks in M S Word(theory+practical)]
Aishwarya: 52, 62( 19+43)
Arun: 40, 58(13+45)
Shobhana: 58, 62(18+44)
Subhashini : didn't appear, 63(17+46)
Sarsa: 54, 64(20+44)
Prasanna: 43, 61(18+43)

Too senti to write anything more! :-)
Best Regards,
Shashank.

And here are some of the replies to the same.
Shashiji -

"This is a personal THANK YOU to one and all for working so hard with our children. Even appearring in an exam was a distant dream which has become an encouraging morale booster today. For many of you, the marks may not seem very great, considering we are living in an era where even students securing 90% marks and above are commiting suicide, because they realize they stand no chance of succeeding in this highly competitive society. But for us at Ananya, this has been a major achievement and a true assessment of the children's capacity to survive and succeed.

This is now greater challenge to all of us so that we continue to provide the facilities and opportunities to our children."

Girish -

"They have not just learnt to ask and asked to learn, but have proved beyond doubt that given an opportunity, a tiny crack in the door, they will push their way through and let a flood of sunshine in to their lives and the lives of everyone else around them. This does not happen easily, it is the system you have created for them at Ananya and we are all happy and privileged to be just associated with all of you at Ananya.

Congratulations is the least we can tell these kids and to the Ananya system !! Wish you tons of such success in future and hope to continue to be part of your system for ages to come."

Dr Rao -

"This just goes to prove the adage that even in the tiniest of cracks in a rock, a seed will sprout provided it is given the nourishment and succour it requires...

Well done Shashi Ji and all at Ananya ; and an equally well-deserved pat-on-the-backs of all of you who participated in the Program ..."

Many more like this will give testimonials of our happiness and excitement.
It surely is PARTY TIME...

ps: I am man of few words so could say on these... "VOHO... Rock On..."
