The Glittering Building

On the active road of the immense city in the country, the speeding vehicles were moving in diverse orientations with noise. Accordingly, all the vehicles were heading toward their respective destinations, but most of the cars were driving in the same direction.

One thing that was common in the automobiles heading in the same direction was the presence of frolicking children, bejewelled ladies, and influential and formidable gentlemen.

That 12-year-old innocent-looking boy seating in the rear seat of the Toyota Hilux was engaged in observing the city outside the car through the window completely overlooking his older brother sitting next to him and his father and mother sitting in the driving and the front seat respectively.

It was almost six o'clock in the evening. The looming covering of light natural darkness and the advent of dim electrical lights added charm to the environment.

That naughty girl who was almost the same age as the boy was seating in the back seat of a Honda Civic passing by the same car, ignoring the constantly verbally fighting parents sitting in the front seats as she was too busy taunting the children in the passing cars.

Hundreds of vehicles passing through various and thriving parts of the municipality were now parked in a vast parking lot in front of a very large and luxurious building.

There another very beautiful twelve-year-old girl, wearing a red Cinderella frock, got out of her car holding her mother's hand and glanced at the beautiful building in front of her with amazement.

Although the parking lot was huge, still a few arrogant dudes and spoiled nobles were engrossed in deliberately causing traffic jams just to show off their authority. Even the security officers in the parking lot could not disturb them because the majority of them were those who believed in taking sustenance from the ancestors of these rich people instead of God.

In the same chaos just to show off their supremacy some teens started brawling there.

The surprising thing was that this stampede and traffic jam was not affecting any soul present there. On the contrary, everyone was enjoying this chaos. It seemed as if they were all used to these spectacles.

Seeing the older boys fighting with each other, the other kid who came along with the driver himself looked at them for a while and then moved on with great confidence.

After a few minutes of trying hard to outwit each other, all the young males cooled down on their own and started entering the building that had "The Star's Science School" written on it in big bold letters.

There was also a third male child who was busy reading the board with his hands stuck in his pants pockets at the entrance of the building while his parents and elder sister were laughing and proudly receiving compliments from other passers-by on his behalf as he was an exceptional student whose ability was discussed far and wide.

The school building was well decorated. Welcome boards for the dignitaries were pasted at the entrance gates along with bouquets decorated with colorful flowers.

Her parents were moving on, unbeknownst to her and away from each other, when that third beautiful girl stealthily stole a rose from one of the vases at the entrance.

The guests entered the school premises showing their special invitation cards to the security wardens at the gates.

It was supposed to be a children's school, but looking at its glittering and ornate building that evening, any typical man would have thought it was a five-star hotel where some extravagant party was taking place.

Thus, schools are opened in daylight, but this school was the only school of its kind. The children of VIP personalities of not only the city but also of the government used to study here.

Instead, it will be better to say that there were only a few who were studying, the rest were just visiting to have fun and spend time away from their houses.

Despite the clear existence of the word "science" in the name of the school, there was more emphasis on extra-curricular activities than curricular activities. Because the owner and its endowments here believe that mental health depends on physical health, which is true to some extent. But to make physical health enviable, where is the wisdom of completely neglecting the children's intellects by entirely ignoring the curricular pieces of training?

As mentioned earlier, rare children even come to study there, so for them and just to rise the reputation of the school, international instructors were hired by the authorities who were highly skilled and qualified in various science subjects despite having competent and intelligent teachers in their poor motherland. Although the students get the best guidance through this process. But the deserving and needy teachers of their own country remain unemployed all their lives or they give their services in anonymous schools in a small town in exchange for very little money.

The callers had entered the school premises. It was twilight time and the interior of the school building was decorated as in the early days of Eastern weddings, newly wedded brides were decorated and seated in front of the visiting guests.

The classrooms of this spacious school building consisting of four floors were closed, but the school's wide courtyard with marble stones, full of plants with various flowers, small but beautiful trees and Italian grass-decorated gardens and many more were giving a great view. The perimeter of the playground spread over a large area was decorated with small colourful electric lights. As soon as one entered the school, seeing the beauty of the school, one feels like reaching another world.

The round white moon in the transparent blue sky surrounded by thousands of shining stars was also surprised by seeing the premises of the rich school of this poor country. An extraordinary stage was set up in the spacious courtyard of the school with a large banner reading "Result Night 2010" on it. Chairs were lined up in front of the stage for hundreds of teachers, students, and their parents. The garden adjacent to the courtyard was furnished with chairs and tables for casual seating.

Passing through these chairs and reaching the playground, there were decorated tables full of various types of delicious food. Indeed, today was the result day, but the decorations and people's tantrums were no less than a farewell party of a noble person or a celebration of New Year's night.

On all sides walking, wandering students in school uniforms, confident, well-dressed teachers and other faculty members, and the rich and VIP people of the city made the atmosphere more interesting.

As there was already a lot of excitement on the school premises, but as soon as the chief minister of the province who was the special guest of the event, arrived, those people who were still outside of the building also gathered around the special guest in the premises just to gave him some special respect and soon the schoolyard was almost filled with people.

For a few moments, the CM greeted the influential people there with a smile on his face and then proceeded towards the school director's room under the watchful eye of his private security guards.

As the special guest had arrived both the stage speakers of the opposite sex left their seats and came in front of the speech desk to welcome the distinguished guests.

Due to the close connection of the owner of this luxurious school with politics, the rituals here were also kept realistic. And one of them demonstrates a practical tradition where people were honoured based on their position and not on value.

Seeing the splendour of the building and the adornment of the guests, some children dressed in modest clothes and the labourers also tried to enter the premises of the school, but the guards on duty stopped them from entering and humiliated them.

The sad thing was that instead of supporting these innocent children and poor workers, the nobles standing there laughed and laughed at their condition.

It is indeed very important to have a sensitive and tender heart to understand someone's pain. There were also a few soft-hearted young people in that place who felt the pain of those poor people but could not do anything for them because they themselves were grinding in the mill of an empire that was as edible as an elephant's teeth.

As the proprietors of this luxurious school were among the famous politicians of the country, it will not be wrong to say that even though the money from the taxes of poor people was used freely for the construction and decoration of the school, the entry of the poor into the school was difficult. It was forbidden. Only the children of nobles could study in this hi-fi school. Because paying school fees was not a matter for middle or lower-class people. Although a few seats were allocated in the name of scholarships for the capable and intelligent poor deserving students. But in our country, only those people whose influence is very high or whose pockets are very heavy are capable and deserving. Therefore, even on these few chairs, the children of nobles, dignitaries and nobles of the country go around bragging about getting free education on scholarship in their social circle by getting free education based on recommendations or bribes.
