Local hero: Girl from Nepal scores 90 in Kannada - Bangalore Mirror

Local hero: Girl from Nepal scores 90 in Kannada - Bangalore Mirror: "Fifteen-year-old Meena Masrangi wears a broad smile on her face when we meet her at Fern Meadows in Hennur, where her parents work as domestic help, on Tuesday. After all, the fruits of her hard work have paid off—scoring an overall of 85 per cent in the SSLC examinations, and 90 per cent in Kannada, a language which was alien to her till a few years ago.
Waking up every morning at 4 am, she spent two years studying Kannada and Maths (in which she scored 82), the two subjects she was weak in. "Initially, since I found Kannada difficult, I used to mug the questions and answers. Then I found that while taking exams, I wasn't able to understand the questions and hence wouldn't be able to write the correct answers," she says. "
