The title says it all !!! At this point you can even stop reading !!
About a year back, we took the Aspire super kids program for Developing the baby’s IQ when its in the womb.
The fee for this program is Rs. 8000 for couple and Rs.5000 for one. We took the couple program trusting the hype given by the receptionist and the program head Mr.Paul of Aspire Super Kids. He was saying, this course is in high demand and due to this the fee has been increased to the said. (When we enquired first the fee was Rs.3000 for one and Rs.5000 for couple.)
We had a lot of trust, especially because of my father who had asked me to be 100% positive and happy and keep my wife happy at all time since only then the baby in the womb will also be happy. We both, my wife and me were positive and had lot of trust over Aspire too.
When we enrolled and went to the institute, we were astonished to find there was no body at the said time of start ie., 9 am of the course.
At 9:45 the receptionist some guy came in and informed that Paul had called him and said that we both will be there and take care. Shocked. Why we two alone? A sense of suspicion surrounded us. (me and my wife!)
We were the only one at the institue for this course, others were mostly kids who came in and went for their morning tution classes... even that strength was negligible (around 3-4 boys of 8th or 9th std). Paul came in at 10:30 am, and said due to some reason the blah blah blah ... the other course opponents were asked to postpone ... and since we were in Bangalore they tried reaching us but our mobiles were not reachable !! Oops, we were all the time getting calls... myself and my wife exchanged a eye contact and came to a acceptance that this guy is uttering lie and thinking we will not find...!! Crap Paul!! And we having come all the way from Bangalore he didnot want to disappoint us rather wanted to finish the course for two of us alone!!! Wow!!
And we both said to us that having given the fee and the baby in the womb lets not fight, Rs.8000 ... gone is gone ... let us finish without fighting.
So we both were the only ones in the course and Paul being our instructor for the one day course.
The forenoon session was with the usual story of Pragaladhan and Abhimanyu stories, which we already know. He made a extra story that a women in California (he rather felt that after 2 of these stories our face showed the feelings) how her born kid knew the way to her office since she kept communicating with her baby when she went to office.!!
Any thing new!!!?
Lunch from Meenakshi Bhavan .. another crap ... packed mini meals ... which I got fed up! I used to eat the same crap when I was working in Chennai ...
Then post lunch few more stories. California to be changed as Paris and then New Zealand.
Then we were shown a video. We thought atleast we will get the video CD. Nope!!! The video Cd showed some real baby learning program made by some out of India people. Paul played us this around 3pm and said. Keep watching and call him in case of any need. and he had to leave since he had some personal commitments that day.
11 - 3: 4 hours and 1 hour lunch = 3 hours and 6 stories that we know already in 3 hours We realised that we were cheated, but this was not the moment to fight and scare the baby. We knew much from our parents how to be than this crap Paul!!! We went home and complained to our father saying we want to go to court. My father convinced to leave the matter and be positive, the world will be of such people and also good ones... he will eat this s**t for the mistake he did. Bounded by his words we forgot that. Until I thought atleast I will write in MouthShut and let my fellow people informed.
Thanks for reading! Be careful with this guy! and the institute! I know this institute runs other courses also..... but ..
I remember the proverb "The person who is not good to the bearer will not be good to you"
