Can understand that feeling.

How much ever you try resisting it, the urge to gloat when ur kids do well wins. All the time.

Congratulations to Zohr!!

Maybe the party can wait till May 23rd.

Then Mom & Son can celebrate the victories together.

In April, the Congress questioned Irani’s educational qualifications after she filed her nomination from Amethi.

Irani declared in the poll affidavit that she is not a graduate and passed secondary school examination in 1991 and senior secondary school examination in 1993. According to reports, she had in her affidavit in 2014 said that she graduated from Delhi University’s School of Open Learning in 1994.

Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was at the time Congress spokesperson, came up with the party’s own version of Irani’s popular TV series ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahun Thi’ to take a jibe at the Union minister.

The toppers of this year’s CBSE class 12 examinations are Hansika Shukla, who is from DPS Meerut road Ghaziabad, and Karishma Arora, who is from SD Public School Muzaffarnagar. Both secured 499 marks.

The top-performing region is Trivandrum with a pass percentage of 98.2 percent.
