Hi

This is the experiance of my aunt in her school when she was in 5th standard.
An officer came to their school to check the standard of the school.
And all the students were said that they have to answer the questions the new 'sir' asks.
The 'sir' started to ask some questions
He asked a student ' What is your name'
Student answered ' your name is subbalakshmi '

He asked another student ' what is your name ?'
student said 'your name is pitchaiah '

many students told like that and when my aunt answered correctly, she was praised for being SO clever !![:o)]
