30 december 2016 KhandalaDear Diary,Today I am very upset. I don 't understand that whats wrongwith the citizens of our country. Why don 't they realise collective belonginess. You already know about my best friend Ankur Kashap. We are the best friends ever. We stay togehter, play together, study together and even accompany each toher in our class room. We can 't spend a day without the others com[pany.We both care for each othe r a lot. But I don 't understand why our new teacher didn 't see this.We got a new class teacher. Ankur and I sit in the first bench of the middle row. Our teacher asked each one their indroduction. She asked every one to mention their religion. This was weird but more weird and annoying was waht she did. When she discovered that Ankur was a hindu and I a muslim she said ' "Who made you sit this way? Don 't your parents object it? Do they even know about it?" We both wonderred about what she meant to say. "Kalam, you take that last bench there" she continued. If she would have shifte dme becouse we were mischivious it would have been fine. But she shifted me because a hindu and a muslim were sitting together.I informed my parents about this. They told that they would talk to my principal about this matter. But I am not going to let it go. i will look to it that India lives without any discrimination. Religion is not your identity but your way of living. How can that divide us?? Such people must realize that discrimination is not encouraged in any religion.I must lay dowm my pen. Ammi is calling me for dinner.Yours,Kalam.

Dear Diary,
Today was a distressful day at school. The reason why I feel that way would undoubtedly be because of an incident that took place today. In my classroom, I usually sit in the front row with my dear friend, Abdul Kalam, who is a Muslim. He wears a taqiyah while I wear a sacred thread that marks me as a Hindu; however, we never let our religious differences affect our friendship. We never even felt that we were different because of our religion, let alone segregate ourselves in the classroom because of it. But that's exactly what our new teacher did. He could not stomach the fact that a Hindu priest's son was sitting next to a Muslim boy. Abdul was asked to sit on the back bench, and neither of us could argue with the teacher for making that decision. I felt very sad and utterly downcast as I saw him moving to the last row. I began to weep, thinking about how unfair things can be. At the same time, I was also exasperated at the teacher for being so orthodox and intolerant. I never considered a difference in religion as cause for withdrawing from a friend. I believe that children should live in an equal and communally tolerant society, and me sitting with Abdul was the perfect example for that. Right now, I have no choice but to speak to my parents about the incident. I trust them to take the right step and I really hope that they do something about it.
