Getting into bnsd: STORY BEHIND THE LINES

I already told that I got admission with the grace of college president, now read the story behind the bars, how that happened.

Papa & his friend "sharma ji " approached "pt. ram balak mishra", president of college committee but renowned advocate by profession at his residence. They had my result along with a hand written application in mother tounge. My college is backed by RSS, and all its founders are successful hindus, more inclined towards religion. Mr president (sound like he is president of usa) was busy worshipping that time.

My father & sharma uncle met him in his office & gave the application. They requested him to do whatever he can possibly do. Money matters everywhere, but not with RSS. thay dont ask for money, they ask for class room construction like things which requires hell lot of money. Anyway we didn't have money to donate in any form so they simply put the application and requested to consider it.

I forgot to tell you that people associated with RSS gives extra attention to you if you touch their feet (a traditional greeting from our ancestors). So both the visitor did that, Mr president was enough old for that in his 70's.

Mr president said "I wont be able to do anything because it's upto principal to allow exceptions". But you know great people (even if they pretend to be) says these words out of courtsey. he said "what would I do if everyone from the wait list comes & ask for admission". Visitors were passing smile on all his comments to show him respect. finally he threw the application to the other side of the table & requested them to leave. Dad & sharma ji took the application and with all respect touched his feet again and opened the exit door. I guess touching the feet again caused miracle & forced him to change his mind. Old rich people,when they demand respect from their children, gets disappointment in turn. Mr president was touched by the cultural heritage my dad & uncle were carrying, as they did not forget to greet the person even after application was neglected by the same person.

He called them back before they exit, made them seated & signed the application without saying any single word.

  1. Your dad & uncle did their homework definitely that has helped, by touching the oldmans feet has fully changed the equation.
