When this year CBSE Class XII results was announced i was wondering about an outcome of a guy from Singtam studying at East Point Senior Secondary School then who had scored a "Perfect Ten" during his Class X Board Examination. I still remember his shy face and i had even carried his article in handful of daily newspapers then. The boy was Navin Kumar Triwedi.  Today i came across this guy at Singtam and i was very keen to know about his examination result as such that i enquired about it. Navin with his smile said, it was good and he went on to add he had scored 100 in mathematics. I was very happy to hear about his success. He told me he was studying at Holy Cross, Tadong. Since i was in hurry so just took his mobile number and disappeared from him. Late evening i asked his 'Roll Number' to look at his result on internet and more then him, i was very happy to see his marks. I believe everyone would be proud of him, after his result. Great Going Navin !.....next tim...
