Apart from getting excited about his bro, Anirud was also taking part in the Spelling Bee - State Level Championship at Bangalore, as he got through the Inter School rounds. He worked really hard, especially on the pronunciation keys that were hard for us to master. The fact that around he was one among the 1900 chaps that got qualified from the initial 23000+ was enough to prove how hard he worked.
When he got out of the competition, I asked him how it went. They had asked him to spell the word 'mucus' - which he had not heard before. He has asked for the meaning of the word, which was 'the liquid that comes out of your nose'. He still wasn't sure about the spelling and replied 'mucos'. He was a bit irritated and said, 'Sali pa... that sali. I didn't know what it is'.
The results will be out in the last week of July and let us see if he gets to the National round.
