However when his parents were approached by a’ do gooder’ to put the lad into a leading school, the so called ‘do gooder’ had insisted that the parents fork out, Rs. 5,000 first, Rs. 6,000 next and Rs.50,000 thereafter. Altogether a sum of Rs.61, 000 was be paid to the ‘do gooder’ in order to meet the boss of the institution. However when the parents met the boss he simply said: NO. When the parents asked for the monies that they had spent to meet the boss, the answer was again NO. Now the parents are wondering how they could pay back the monies that they had borrowed for this useless cause. All this because they belong to the not so affluent society!
