She returns empty-handed on Textbook Festival Day!
My sister, a student of Monipur High School, got up early on January 1, 2013 and went to school with the hope of getting new books. She came to know from the media that this day will be observed as 'Textbook Festival Day'. She was very excited about getting new textbooks. She went to school facing much difficulty since most of the roads were dug for repairing. She reached school on time but she was told to come again at 1 o'clock the same day. She came back home and went to school again but the authorities told her to pay the readmission fee first for getting the books. My mother assured them that she would pay the readmission fee soon and requested them to give my sister a set of books but her request went unheard. At last, my little sister and other students came back home broken-hearted.
