Doing well in the 10th board exams is a badge of honour for many students. Parents, schools and even coaching institutes put up boards congratulating top scorers on their marks. However, a teenager in Kerala has gone a step ahead and installed a flex board congratulating himself for his board results.

Jishnu aka Kunjakku, who is from Kerala’s Pathanamthitta, has installed a quirky flex board with the help of his friends. The teenager’s flex board shows him posing with a pair of sunglasses on his face.

The teen has had a hard life. According to a Matrubhumi report, Jishnu’s parents are daily wage workers. The teen and his sister used to study under a kerosene lamp. He was often mocked by his close ones, who said that he would not clear his 10th exams. After working hard and qualifying for the next level, he decided to install the flex board as ‘sweet revenge’ against everyone who mocked him.
