My son completed his 3rd year B.Sc. (Computer Science) exams in the year 2007 and the results were out on the 12th of June 2007. The mark-sheet clearly stated ‘Fail’. We just could not believe it. I asked him, ‘did you see the result properly?’ He replied ‘Yes’. I was stunned, just did not know what to do. Rahul had always been a clever student and had hardly missed a distinction up to his Hsc exams. We were feeling absolutely helpless and lost. The last resort was, but obviously, our dear beloved Bapu. I related everything in front of his photograph and pleaded, ‘Bapu, please deliver us from this problem!’
Some days later, I narrated the same to SadyaPipadada (Govindsinh Dabholkar-Appa). Appa assured me and said, ‘Have Faith in Him, some solution is bound to surface and everything will be well again.’
During that time, Rahul’s Professor asked him to apply for reevaluation. 3 weeks later, on 11th July 2007, the Xerox copies of the answer sheets came home. Then Rahul called his sir home to check the answers. On checking he told Rahul, ‘Your marks are increasing, you apply for re-evaluation.’ So Rahul put in an application for reevaluation on 26 July 2007.
