After a really long time, I am wearing the watch given by Prasanna Pandit to me. Its been five years since he gave me this watch, but I have worn it hardly 6-7 times. When I walking towards office, I just remembered one funny incident involving Prasanna and myself. I would like to share it with you all.
It was the day of HSC results. I had returned home, and was getting lots of congratulatory calls. At around 7 o clock, I got a more of such calls. The guy on the other side was talking in Marathi. Well, I thought he was one of my father's friends. He asked me my Maths mark which I told him to be 99. He congratulated me. Then he asked me my overall marks. I said, "570 out of 600". I was really not able to make out who the person was. So finally, I asked him that I didn't recognize his voice and wanted to know who he was. It was none other than Prasanna Sir.
He was wondering why I had not called him up when most of the other guys had told him their marks. I said sorry to him before he asked me my marks in physics and chemistry. When he asked me about my marks in Physics and Chemistry, I followed it up with two "100"s. He started laughing. He said," OK. so thats why you didnt tell me your marks. I was the culprit behind you not getting 300 in PCM" :)
I must say, he was really generous to us when it came to the prize distribution, he took all 98-99-100 from hsi class/test series to Central Peningsula and gave big feast.And of course the watch. Its been ten years since I bought a new watch. Keep getting new watchs from freinds, techers......
