20 December 2018 in a college 

Arjun- Hey, Mukesh! How are you doing? 

Mukesh- Hi I am fine, what about you?

Arjun- I am great. How much did you get in the History paper? I got 95% 

Mukesh- Wow! 95%. I got 60%

Arjun- Oh! I hope you are prepared for the English test tomorrow, the Math test on the 22nd—science on 23, psychology on 24, and 3rd language on the 25th. Bye brother got to go!

(Saying this, he exits.)

(Mukesh gets quite bad marks in all the tests.)

(At Mukesh's house)

Mom- Hello, Mukesh! How was college today? How much did you get in tests?

Mukesh- Hi mom, the college was fine as usual, and I got pretty bad marks in the test.

Mom- It's okay because marks do not matter. Eat your food and go to the football academy.

( Mukesh eats his food and goes to the academy)

( The next day at college)

Arjun- Hi! Did your mom scold you?

Mukesh- Hey! No, because marks do not matter in my case

Arjun- What do you mean?

Mukesh- You will get to know in a year or two. ( saying this he exists.)

Mukesh is a footballer, and his name comes in the paper very often. 

One day Mukesh gets a call from Arjun after his match.

Arjun- Hey! How are you?

Mukesh- Who is it?

Arjun- It's me Arjun, we used to study in Colledge Racenburg.

Mukesh- Oh! Hello Arjun.

Arjun- Can we meet tomorrow need to talk.

Mukesh- sure

Arjun- Okay, then bye

2 January 2020 

Arjun and Mukesh go to Cafe Coffee Day as planned

Mukesh- Hi! What are you doing these days?

Arjun- nothing much, just an IT professional.

Mukesh- that's great! What did you want to talk about?

Arjun- First, Congrats! I see your name very often in the paper. And second, I understand what you meant by marks do not matter in my case.

Mukesh-Thanks, What did you understand?

Arjun- You wanted to be a footballer and marks do not matter for that. You need the skill which you have. Now I know aunty Ji( Mukesh's mom) was right. You were also correct at that time, and you are still. 

Mukesh- You are right, and also I do not mean that you should not study if you want to become a sportsperson. All you need is a skill and some common sense. Bye! Gotto go

Arjun- Byeee
