Hello Learners! ๐ Welcome back to Learn with Pari, where we talk about everything from A for Apple ๐ to Z for โZarurat se zyada padhai!โ ๐
Todayโs blog is all about the most asked (and most feared) question in every Indian household:
“Beta, what are your marks in school?”
Yes, yes โ the QNA of the Century as certified by every mummy, papa, chacha, chachi, and the aunty next door who always “just came to ask how much water you drink” and somehow ends up asking about your marks too! ๐
๐ Why Are Marks Such a Big Deal?
Letโs be honest. Our parents love us. But somehow, when the report card comes out, their love becomes directly proportional to our marks! ๐งฎ
If you score 95%, they ask, “Where did the 5% go?”
If you score 75%, they say, “Sharma ji ka beta got 94%!”
If you score 50%, then… well… may God be with you ๐ฌ
But why do they ask this question so much?
Hereโs a theory (or two):
- โ They care โ Marks help them understand if weโre doing okay in school.
- ๐ง They grew up in a time where marks meant everything โ jobs, respect, and even rishtas (yes, marriage proposals!).
- ๐ค They compare โ not because they want to make us sad, but because thatโs what theyโre used to hearing themselves.
๐ข Real Reactions vs. Expected Reactions
Marks | What You Expect | What You Actually Get |
---|---|---|
99% | โWow, amazing!โ | โWhy not 100%?โ ๐ |
85% | โGood job!โ | โNext time better, okay?โ ๐ |
60% | โYou tried your best.โ | โTV band, phone band, life band!โ ๐ญ |
35% | โLetโs work together.โ | โAre you even studying?!โ ๐ฅ |
๐งโโ๏ธ A Little Reminder from Pari
Dear Students (and Parents too!),
Marks are important โ but theyโre not everything.
โ
They show how well you understood a subject.
โ They donโt show how creative, kind, curious, or smart you are in other ways.
So if your marks are great โ celebrate! ๐
If theyโre not so great โ donโt panic. Talk, learn, grow.
And dear Parents reading this โ a hug, a smile, and encouragement can do more than any shouting match. ๐งก
๐ฃ Final Thoughts: Whatโs YOUR Answer?
So next time someone asks:
“What is your Marks in School?”
You can smile and say:
“Enough to learn something new every day!”
And hey โ thatโs the best answer of all, isn’t it?
โ๏ธ Tell us in the comments:
What’s the funniest or most dramatic reaction your mummy or papa had to your marks?
Till next time,
Stay curious. Stay happy.
