The 100% attendance kid

The 100% attendance kid was called 'Kimo' and the whole school knew him. He got the awards for attendance, which was okay but we all hated him because whenever we were absent he was the lord to learn from. The lord never moved an inch from his place, attended all classes, prepared for all exams and never ever was absent. In chinese philosophy 'Ki' meant  circulating life energy and so we believed it was in him, the lord of energy and non-absence. It was not respect but mockery, however nothing could beat Kimo, he still won his awards all his years in school. Now was farewell. We were a little surprised to see his absence, it was the first time you see? Later we got to know, he had proposed and was soon to get married to the girl. Kimo's life was envious now....

We are over our school days, grown up, some in touch, some not. Kimo remains a matter of discussion almost at every reunion and the best part is Kimo has become a legacy to the school. Kimo's generations have followed him into the school and due to his early marriage, he would be a grandfather by now. However everyone still remains envious of Kimo even today. Many of us didn't get considered because our profiles had a low attendance percentile, we cursed Kimo. Often our presence got diluted in classes and we missed the pretty teacher's attention, cursed Kimo. He had ruined our lives like an alien and we unanimously hated him. We decided to have a grand reunion and send VIP invites to Kimo. It was a targeted plan to ridicule the curse of our lives 'Kimo'.

The preparations were ablaze. Everything went perfectly well and the day arrived, however Kimo ditched us. Our heart burn in having being defeated again but his grandmother came. She broke the bad news that Kimo was taken ill recently and could not make it. It was shocking how Kimo had managed this human stuff-falling ill? His grandmother was so humble and sweet, we got talking to her and loved her chitchats. She had prepared some very traditional chinese dishes that we all enjoyed. She had also served something very soothing. On asking further she said it was a drink of various herbs from ancient days that helped one keep out of cold. I was curious and asked her about Kimo's life. Slowly I derived Kimo had this drink everyday and thus also considered this as a probable reason for his unwanted presence at school. On knowing the details, it was too complex to make, I didn't take any efforts. Later, someone from their lineage had found an easy way to get it to us, it was called 'chyawanprash'. Having this may not make you like 'Kimo' but it surely can increase your chances. However, don't be Kimo, be different, be you. chyawanprash may only help you to stay fit always, so you could be more of you.
