My mother has immense faith in her Gods and it is to them that she turns in times of deep trouble. M She turned to them on that day - my day of reckoning – my Class X final Mathematics examination. She saw me off to school at 8 a.m. and went straight in to sit before her Gods in supplication. I returned home at 1 p.m. and there she was - still sitting before them having made every kind of promise in return for a passing grade in Mathematics for her youngest child.
