“Whenever a student scores high marks in a big exam, he wants to see the smile on his parents’ face. I missed my father the most today but the smile on my mother’s face compensated for that,” Ghalib said.
He added that he wants to pursue medicine and is preparing for NEET. His father Afzal had enrolled himself at a medical college in Jammu and Kashmir but did not complete the degree.
