๐Ÿ“ What is your Marks in School?!

Hello Learners! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome back to Learn with Pari, where we talk about everything from A for Apple ๐ŸŽ to Z for โ€œZarurat se zyada padhai!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Todayโ€™s 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! ๐Ÿ˜…

๐Ÿ“š Why Are Marks Such a Big Deal?

Letโ€™s be honest. Our parents love us. But somehow, when the report card comes out, their love becomes directly proportional to our marks! ๐Ÿงฎ
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 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

But why do they ask this question so much?

Hereโ€™s a theory (or two):

  • โœ… They care โ€“ Marks help them understand if weโ€™re doing okay in school.
  • ๐Ÿง  They grew up in a time where marks meant everything โ€“ jobs, respect, and even rishtas (yes, marriage proposals!).
  • ๐Ÿค– They compare โ€“ not because they want to make us sad, but because thatโ€™s what theyโ€™re used to hearing themselves.

๐ŸŽข Real Reactions vs. Expected Reactions

MarksWhat You ExpectWhat You Actually Get
99%โ€œWow, amazing!โ€โ€œWhy not 100%?โ€ ๐Ÿ™ƒ
85%โ€œGood job!โ€โ€œNext time better, okay?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜
60%โ€œYou tried your best.โ€โ€œTV band, phone band, life band!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ญ
35%โ€œLetโ€™s work together.โ€โ€œAre you even studying?!โ€ ๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ A Little Reminder from Pari

Dear Students (and Parents too!),

Marks are important โ€” but theyโ€™re not everything.

โœ… They show how well you understood a subject.
โŒ They donโ€™t show how creative, kind, curious, or smart you are in other ways.

So if your marks are great โ€” celebrate! ๐ŸŽ‰
If theyโ€™re not so great โ€” donโ€™t panic. Talk, learn, grow.

And dear Parents reading this โ€” a hug, a smile, and encouragement can do more than any shouting match. ๐Ÿงก


๐Ÿ—ฃ Final Thoughts: Whatโ€™s 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€” thatโ€™s the best answer of all, isn’t it?
