Hey, I am a CBSE topper too

Usually when the school principal is away, it is good news for students but not in the case of Powai resident Srishti Kar, who lost her share of limelight amongst the city toppers at CBSE, despite having scored as much, because her principal was away and could not share her scores with the media.

“Yes, I was so sad when I learnt that there were two toppers with 98 per cent from the city featured by all newspapers in the city. It was a little disappointing to not be one of them despite having gotten equal marks,” said Srishti.

Srishti learnt of her scores from her father who is currently in Dubai. “We were having problems accessing the internet here so Dad saw my marks and read it out to me. All of us including my grandparents and my mom jumped with joy. I can never forget this. I am elated at the thought of having scored this much. This was certainly not expected,” said Srishti.
