A mother lay on the hospital bed.She turned her head and stared at the blurring image of the cradle which stood right beside her.She wiped the tears off her face and started rocking the cradle with her gentle hand.The child was crying.A middle aged man stood beside the cradle and peeped over it.He made funny faces, clapped hard and even went to the extent of singing a lullaby.But the child would’nt stop crying.The mother got up and took the baby into her arms.She tried to be so careful that her hands began to tremble.After minutes of grappling with her amateur practice as a mother, she looked down at the baby asleep in her arms.The father kept watching them all the while.He gave a wide smile accompanied by a nod.He turned nostalgic as memories of his mother rushed into his mind.....

St joseph’s high school
“ Your son is very lazy Mrs Rao.In my ten years of teaching I have’nt come across a student as lazy and indolent as Karthik.I am very sorry on that remark.On the brighter side he definitely has the potential in him.But the problem lies in his thinking…that little brain of his.. thinks weird things”

FIITJEE junior college
“Karthik is not a dull student.Not a bright one either.He is just a student...Well, Its time for him to step into the world of college.I would’nt be wrong if I said he would make it to a decent engineering college this year.”
Karthik was the most easily misunderstood guy in the history of guys.People thought he was arrogant,adamant,stubborn,selfish and what not.But he was just lazy….a lazy ass.A week before his 18th birthday, his mom planned to gift him with a decent outfit.
" Go check it out" she forced one of the FM jeans into his hands and pushed him into the trial room.Karthik shut the door behind him ,mumbled for a while and took off his trouser.In his new jeans he stared into the human sized mirror facing him.A 5foot 8 inches figure stared back at him.He ran his fingers through the untidy thick black hair and examined himself for a while.The jeans was a little more than his waist size.The usual thought process started in his mind.
Since this doesn't fit me, I have to try another one to convince mom.What a pain in the ass!.Alternate solution; Perhaps I'll go with this one, manage with a belt.Bingo!
He slipped back to his old jeans and stepped out of the trial room.
"oh! I wanted to see you in that.Why did you take it off?" his mom exclaimed.
" Its okay, ma.You selected the best one,it perfectly suits me" Karthik tried to convince as he had been accustomed to doing this for years. His mom casually shrugged and nodded in agreement .
