AIR Hostess-- AIR INDIA INTERNATIONAL AIR LINES

        " Hey  Leela, we somehow got the questions, the paper is leaked out, our boys got those, we knew 5 questions out of 10 , if we read and prepare the anweres we need not prepare the whole syllubus"

      I looked straight into the eyes of the friend, "No , I donot want to know those questions.  I do not want those questions.   sorry"

I thought I should not even sit nearby my friends who were preparig for the final exams.  I am His, I cannot do this.

 I went  far from them studied from A-Z of the syllubus, whearase they studied only the known question and answers, so who will get the better marks, they or me?
         I was waiting for the results, I remembered what I told my dad when he was unhappy about me going to church three times a week thinking that I was wasting my time.  I said, "dad previously  I was wasting my time  in going to movie halls and parites and picnics, now I stopped all that. I promise you I would work hard and get 1st class."

We got the results, some of my friends got gold medals and many of them first classes, I got only high second class. nearing to the first class, 58.90% --I could not lift up my  face.  Down hearted I reached home.  Dad came from the office hurriedly with apples in his hand to give me.  I was there, he came into the house and looked at me anxiously, I said,' Dad , sorry , I got only high second class"  I still remember his face , it became pale, he was disappointed,  and the apples in his hands were dropped down on the bed where i was sitting,

I was silent, no words to say anything.   I do not remember what happened later, how we were till the next day. Suddenly the atmosphere of the house was changed in second

There was a letter by post.  Its a letter from Air India  International Air Lines,  . Its an appointment letter  that I was selected as an Airhostess, and I need to report at Santacruz Airport on such and such date, and I need to deposite certain amount before the training.

This peice of news brought a great joy, in our home, as we were so sorrowful over the results of mine .   Dad and myself went to Madras, reached Mardras Airport,  sat in the lounge, both of us were so sad , as it was the first time I had to leave my parents and go to an unknown place.  First time I saw the tears in my dad's house.  He loved me so much.  Not knowing where to go and what to do, I was sitting there beside my dad silently.   Suddenly I lifted my eyes and found ..some one very familiar face.
