An Annual Day I Ended Up attending
The Event
On the 26th of April, 2014, Delhi Public School, Ruby Park organised its annual day in the science city auditorium. The chief guest was the renowned Dadasaheb Phalke Award winning bengali film legend, Soumitra Chattopadhyay. It happens to be the second annual day of my school(s) that I that ever went to. And being there proved to be very productive!

I should call myself lucky for having chosen Delhi Public School, Ruby Park as my high school. The last year, I took a test, called the
Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY), which is an exam conducted by the Indian Institute of Science, to encourage Indian students to join a career in research. Fortunately, I qualified the test, which makes me eligible for a scholarship, from the around August, 2014, if I choose to join a course in basic science (the term 'basic science' is properly explained in the link to the official site of KVPY). I was pretty happy to have been eligible for the scholarship and for a scope to embark a career path that I aspired to join.
Anyhow, I had barely expected a recognition from my school, for managing my way through the test! Yesterday, on the occasion of our school's annual day, I received a 'special prize' from my school, along with 4 of my friends, and what might that special prize be, other then an iPad Air! Now, this was barely expected. I mean, how much can you expect from a prize that your school is giving you for qualifying a little known examination? So, it was literally surprising and it was really difficult to control expressing it on stage, while receiving the prize!
