I was in euphoric mood yesterday when I came to know this news. A friend of mine called me last noon and said that there is a lesson regarding Superstar in Grade VI English Book of CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education).
Ever since I heard this news, I couldn’t resist myself and it was tough for me to pass time until I saw the book by last night.
A remarkable achievement
The moment I saw the book, I was awestruck. What a remarkable achievement of our thalaivar! If he manages to get a place in a school book that is read by kids all over the country, then what else he has to achieve?
A distinct honour
I think no other actor in India had this honour so far. That is getting a place in school book while they were in the profession of acting. (Yes, a few actors managed to get the place because of their political status and that too in State Board Syllabus. But this particular lesson reg Superstar has come in a Central board book where it is common for the whole country!!)
And what adds more to the pride is the heading under which the lesson was found.
Unit 3: The dignity of Work - From Bus conductor to film star.
Surely a remarkable achievement! ! Isn’t it?
And surely this would apply tons and tons of coals on those faces who take dig at thalaivar whenever there’s a little opportunity. But beyond their calculations, Superstar’s name and fame skyrockets to unimaginable heights each time.
Frnds...dis is a mail i got from my frnd....
I think this is a big joke, when there are hundreds of issues around the board had to take this topic????
wat next will Bipasha Basu will be havin a chapter????? ?? _________________
