Dear Flamingo ??
You have done the incredible. There are hundreds who give their Grade 10 and many more may have scored more than you in the Board. It is not the result but your journey that makes it incredible. From changing over half a dozen schools, to moving homes, from tasting Cambridge to CBSE and then taking the leap of faith with Open Schooling, you have made it look all so easy.?
When all students were worrying about Adjectives and Adverbs, you were busy making Business Plan templates. You aced Global Goals and make colours talk when you painted. No wonder, you are the top scorer in Painting with 98, not out! ????? Just ask Aparna ma'am. When boys were scratching their heads over Algebra, you became Shruti ma'am pet with your Maths insights.?
Your wardrobe may not be neat but your writing sure is. You may appear shy, but let anyone dare you on those Imagica rides ?? and they will know the cow-girl, that you are! ?? Your radiant smile, may it keep getting bigger even when you solve cases as a Criminal Psychologist ???? ♀?. Oh boy, what a career choice!! There are layers to you my girl, that we are unpeeling one moment at a time.?
Your dad may have this tough man look from the outside but he truly is the coconut. Soft and all Daddy material. I saw the dream in his eyes, when he came from work to wish you for your first NIOS Exam. It was English on 12th of April. From there, he has been around, just enough to give you your space and yet keep an eye out for you!?

Your mom, is just one Super-Woman I know. Her struggles became yours. Her vision became yours. Her personality (you smarter of course!), her work ethics - you shadowed her to leap to be our golden girl ??.??
Farhaanah, you are student's favourite Arts Teacher at Golden Sparrow Academy and yes the best dressed one at that too. You are ready to fly. Sydenham and Stardom awaits. The flocks are migrating as we see our girl growing and growing and growing.?
