I was sitting under the old banyan tree and finishing off another piece of cake, which had been distributed by that boy, because he had passed the 12th board exam. Everyone in the village was happy and was talking about the bright future that lay ahead for him. I was thinking to myself, ‘First I need to do well in my 10th board, then I should do well in my 12th board…so that I too can have a bright future and support my parents soon’.
Just then, David Uncle started saying,
“The boy should definitely study computers, my nephew studied computers and he now has a job which pays him Rs. 50,000 a month”.
“Maybe”, said Robert Sir, “but it depends on many things…. Also, what does the boy want to do? What is he interested in?”.
“Nonsense”, said David Uncle, “If you have a computer degree, your success is guaranteed. Half the people in Bangalore work in computer field, and make lots of money. Some of them even go to America after some years!”.
