Kundapur, Mar 28: In an unusual incident, a student’s heartfelt plea for specific marks in exams was found inside a temple donation box at Hommide near Hakladi.

The request came to light on March 24 when the management of the Holmage Bobbarya Daiva Sthana opened the donation box in the presence of local residents, ten days after the temple’s annual Halu Habba and Kenda Seve rituals, which were held on March 14.

Along with monetary offerings from devotees, a handwritten letter was discovered, in which a student had meticulously listed the marks they wished to score to just pass the exams. The student had requested: Mathematics – 36-39 marks, English – 37-39, Kannada – 39-40, Science – 38-39, Hindi – 39-40, and Social Studies – 37-38.

At the top of the letter, the student had written: “I must get these marks; divine intervention of Bobbarya Daiva is my only hope.” At the bottom, they further pleaded: “Dear deity, please do not let me get anything less than this.”

The letter had no sender’s address, making it unclear whether it was written by a boy or a girl. Although no class was mentioned, it is suspected that the writer is an SSLC student appearing for the ongoing board exams.

The letter, found inside the donation box, has now gone viral on social media, drawing widespread attention and amusement.
