10th Standard Exam

Time and tide waits for none, the saying is so true. It was already time for me to write the final exam! I did study and burn the midnight candle, I must have answered zillions of question papers from the last 10 years. My scores were improving, my average score from the old question papers was 63, which was a major improvement from 24 :)
Even before I could gloat, my guru Mr. Ramaswamy would bring me down firmly to the ground by saying "Ishtu bandide antha beega bega, meaning don't gloat, you still have a long way to go, 63-65 out of 100 is nothing!". I took it upon myself to do well and prove to everyone that I of all people could get a decent score in Maths.
Our Exams were scheduled to begin in March in Bharath Mata High School which was the venue. For some wierd reason my school (websters) wasn't the venue. My friend's neighbour who was an autorickshaw driver graciously offered to drop us to the exam venue everyday for a nominal fee. My exams began in March 2nd week, my mom and dad visited me for the first two exams. On the third day my mom had to leave on a pilgrimage trip with her sister. My dad had to go to sabarimala, so I was left with my sis and my other aunt. My mom was not very keen on going and I could see it in her eyes, I also gave her a lot of grief and emotionally blackmailed her saying that she needs to be with ME during my exams. Finally she decided to go as my aunt forced her to accompany her. On top of this, I fell sick, thanks to the lack of sleep. On the day of Maths exam, my mom's youngest sister who stayed with us made me drink a glass of mosambi juice an hour before the exam so that I would have some energy and strength to brave through the exam paper. I reached the venue and 15 mins before the exam, I threw up. Out went the mosambi juice and idlies that I had for breakfast. I was so tired and exhausted, I somehow managed to clean up and went and sat at my designated place. At 9 a.m sharp our question papers were handed to us. I looked at the paper and read it and re-read it 3 times. Then I said a silent prayer to god and started answering the questions.

There was a girl from Bharath Mata school who was sitting next to me, she kept pestering me to show my exam paper. I decided to complain to the teacher. When I did complain, that teacher - invigilator(she was from bharath mata school) came up to me and said "So what, it is ok help her out", I was so shocked. I think one of the teachers from my school heard this and she came into the room and threatened to report this to the education inspectors. The matter was settled then and I could calmly answer my paper.

Hi Chickoo, naanu kuda Webster's nalli odiddu 8th varegu....9th Kumarn's and 10th standard ge Mangalore ge hogbekaithu..... iga Neatherlands nalli Master's maadtha idini...... I read this post and felt good hearing school names like Bharth maata school, Ittamadu village, Kamakshi miss and so on. Felt nostalgic, some where some brain cells had those names still embedded in them, I remember my 10th exam days, seems like a long time ago, today it appears as an adventure. Life is an adventure, all of it.

I like writing as well but, its people like you who don't let me do it..... with such simple and effective writing :-) (What a reason!!!)

The organization delivers a single [url=http://cungmuahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]nhom mua gia re[/url] for each operating working day in every of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance offer producing use of ThePoint's system: if a certain amount of individuals indication up for the offer, then the deal gets accessible to all if the predetermined least is not pleased, no one will get the offer that doing work working day. This lowers possibility for stores, who can deal with the price cut discount codes as volume reductions as nicely as revenue promoting devices. Groupon tends to make money by retaining about fifty % the cash the client pays for the coupon.

For illustration, an $80 therapeutic therapeutic massage could be received by the consumer for $forty through Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would split up the $forty. That is, the retailer offers a therapeutic therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and receives around $20 from Groupon for it (underneath a fifty%/fifty% split). Or, if $240 benefit of home painting solutions is obtained by the consumer for $fifty by means of Groupon, then the enterprise will get $25 and Groupon retains $twenty five. The consumer will get the therapeutic massage, or the home painting companies, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they to commence with paid out out $forty (or $50) to Groupon. There are specific companies to which Groupon initially did not provide its organizations, which includes capturing ranges and strip golf equipment nonetheless, taking pictures ranges have been showcased on Groupon.

Unlike labeled promoting and marketing, the support supplier does not spend any upfront benefit to get component: Groupon collects customized specifics from ready buyers and then contacts only individuals customers, mainly by every day e mail, who might probably probably be intrigued in a distinct merchandise or providers.

Groupon employs a big amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the delivers showcased by e-mail and on the web site. Groupon's marketing text for the 'deals' has been observed as a contributing situation to the track record of the web website, that includes a distinctive combine of extensive fact-checking and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's sector currently currently being mostly composed of girl consumers, the delivers are typically concentrated on the total overall health, overall health and fitness and splendor marketplaces.

There are potential problems with the company design. For occasion, a worthwhile offer you could briefly swamp a minor business with way too a good deal of buyers, jeopardizing a probability that consumers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be enough merchandise to satisfy the desire. Hole, a huge clothing retailer, was completely ready to consider treatment of 445,000 coupon codes in a nationwide supply (though it seasoned server difficulties at one particular certain level), but a scaled-down enterprise could become out of the blue flooded with buyers. One particular particular coffee retailer in Portland, Oregon struggled with an boost in customers for three months, when it marketed in close proximity to to 1,000 Groupons on the one operating day it was presented, in accordance to 1 specific report. In response to similar problems, Groupon officers problem that 'deal' subscriptions require to be capped in progress to a affordable selection.
