'Super proud of my boy who scored a 60 per cent in class 10 board exams,' Vandana Sufia Katoch wrote in her post on May 6.

'Yes it is not a 90, but that doesn't change how I feel.'

'Simply because I have seen him struggle with certain subjects almost to the point of giving up, and then deciding to give his all in the last month-and-a-half to finally make it through!'

'Here's to you, Aamer. And others like you -- fishes asked to climb trees.

'Chart your own course in the big, wide ocean, my love. And keep your innate goodness, curiosity and wisdom alive.'

'And of course, your wicked sense of humour!' the mother of two added.

Vandana has been inundated with congratulatory messages from across the country.

'Didn't realise that the post will go this far. But glad that it has. Let's keep the conversation going, and help shift the needle,' she responded recently.

Thank you Vandana for leading the change. More power to you!
