“What if there was totalling error or some answer had
not been checked correctly? I might still paas the
course”
Haddi thought and decided to ask for the model

“Sir can I have the question paper and the model
answers??"
After Prof Rao handed him the model answers, Haddi

staring at him unblinkedly. Apparently he was getting
very restless and rightly so, Haddi was taking a lot of
time going through his answer sheet. But he didn’t care,
he wanted to be sure about his answers. Haddi was
