The other day an old school friend of mine Ajay (not his real name) came to meet me when I was visiting Nagpur. Talk came around to how his son was doing. Ajay said that the kid was doing well, finally.
“Why,” I asked, “what was the matter?”
“He was not doing well at all in his studies. He was not able to focus on his school work. His confidence level was low and I was really worried about his grades. You know, his board exams are right around the corner.”

Words can never describe the sheer lunacy of the response. Hence the cartoon. Thanks, India-Forum.com, for the straight talk.
