READ THE STAGE 1 FIRST
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy(girl), with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.....
Stage 2: (whining school-girl)
Seeing so much interests of the laadli of house for studies, her papa takes herto different schools for admission. They goto Deepika's brother's school, they goto other near by schools. All rejected as she was just 2 and half years old. But one school which was admitting kids in the mid of the year accepted her application. Now she did not really know which school did she actually get admitted to. Back home she declared that she is admitted in 5 schools (she thought so as she visited so many of them). Life slowly changed. A new place, a new language, new people and new rules and regulations. It was not like at home. She was allowed to construct anything and destruct anything (this is the action that she loved). Now she was bounded. She was enthusiastic about new things. She had the difficulty in the language. She learned it and learned it so well that today hardly anyone will realize that she is not a native speaker.
She was tagged at that age ' Chatter Box '. It was fun. Learning the most wiered characters (A B C D - for her it was different- remember she writing(not scribbling - mind u.. ;)) in her diaries before her school days). She then was very good at studies. She even scored 1st rank once (once for all her life). The very next exam she slipped to 8th Rank. Now u should be wondering how could she? a girl very keen in studies and very enthusiastic about going to school. Now who said it was bad??? She thought she had done much better a job. She goes back home with 8 in the report card. Her mama who then had come to pay them a visit questioned 'beta...what happened? Why 8th? last time u were 1st?'. Deepika was confused. wondered if her momma was really worried or was she happy. She then questioned her momma 'Maa...8 is bigger than 1 na? Then why are you scolding me?'. Now what could momma say? She had the heartiest laugh and explained her the ranking system. Even today she goes around and tells the world of her laadli's innocence. Deepika indeed won everyone's heart.
She had a fight with Mathematics. She found it so difficult to play with numbers. Her cousin was too good at that and so he used to guide her with the numbers. But she was just unable to understand anything. She then kept scoring soaring marks. She failed now and then in mathematics. It was very difficult for her to get a clear report card without any red marks back home. She struggled and even today she gets scared of the numbers. papa cooked and cousin lends hand. bhaiya busy with playing ball hitting against the wall and Deepika, she was being targeted at. Now, it's difficult to explain everything here. But somehow the time passed and she grew older and older. Her passion was to invite people for her B'Day. If say her b'day is today, people visit home for her cake cutting and she starts inviting them for her next b'day right from that evening. She enjoyed growing older. She was the laadli of all always. She hits her bhaiya and if bhaiya hits back she cries out 'papa bhaiya hit me!!!'. Bhaiya gets all the scoldings for the mistake that his lil sister does. He was very patient with his lil sis after she was the laadli to him also. Life went on with lil struggles and lil happiness and lil sorrows. She grows to be an adolescent.
