B'lore girl gets 99% in Class X
Mathematics, social studies and Sanskrit - 100/100 in each subject. Dream marks in any board exam.
BANGALORE: Mathematics, social studies and Sanskrit — 100/100 in each subject. Dream marks in any board exam.
For Aparna Muralidhar, the dream came true when the student of Kendriya Vidyalaya, ASC Centre in Bangalore topped the southern region in CBSE Class X with a 99% aggregate.
On Monday morning, after checking her results on the internet, she ran to her school to check it again.
"I felt on top of the world when I saw my results. At school, I came to know that I was the topper," an exhilarated Aparna told TOI.
Her mother, Jyothi Muralidhar, a maths teacher at KV (ASC) is undergoing a training course in Mysore. "I couldn't contain my joy. I called her and told her my marks. She was so thrilled," Aparna said. It was not all work and no play for her. "I started studying from April last year. But I did not study for 24 hours at a stretch. I studied for about two hours, watched TV or went out and played and then got back to studies," she said.
There was euphoria at Aparna's Banashankari residence on Monday. Suddenly, she's a celebrity with almost all media channels making a beeline to her house. Aparna's father, Muralidhar B R, an engineer, was overjoyed. "We did expect her to do well, but not this well. She worked hard but never cut herself off from TV or anything like that. I am very happy and proud," he said.
Her school too is thrilled. Said principal E Ananthan, "We expected 96-97% from her as she is a brilliant and hard-working student. After her English exam, she was upset that she hadn't done so well. We comforted her saying you don't know how you have actually done. She has scored 96/100 in English."
What next for this topper? "I don't know," she says, adding, "I'm not very sure, I'll try for both engineering and medicine. I'll decide only after my Class XII," she said.

As of Monday, Aparna was the record-holder, but given the flight of marks, she could very well have company when results are declared for the rest of the country on Tuesday.
