The fifth grader, who did not return home after school on Tuesday evening, joined his parents by midday on Wednesday after a radio announcement helped churchgoers to recognise him and alert his parents.

A student of Gulf Model School in Dubai, Aswin had boarded the school bus after the afternoon shift classes. Instead of getting down near his house, he alighted in the freshwater pearl jewelry next stop telling the driver and conductor that he had to go for tuition there.

Aswin’s parents had allowed him to go to the tuition class directly from school. But they had no idea about the tuition class on Tuesday. “He lied to the conductor and driver. He did not want to come home as he had got low marks in a class test,” said his father Thomas Abraham.

Aswin is not bad at studies. He even scored 100 per cent in the class test in science this week, according to the school’s head for the afternoon sessions, Mini Chandran. But, he was weak in Mathematics. Also, he had recently angered his parents by tearing off pages from pearl earrings notebooks to avoid doing homework. A single child, Aswin did not want to be scolded for fairing badly in his 
test paper.

He said he decided not to go home and got down in his schoolmate’s bus stop, about 10 minutes walk from his house. He roamed around for a while. As darkness thickened, fear 
gripped him. “I was scared... I did not know where I was... Nobody was noticing me,” said Aswin. He then decided to hide on the rooftop of a nearby building. “It was a two-storey building. One aunty saw me there. But she did not ask anything. I went to the terrace and sat over there. Later, I slept.”

When he woke up late in the morning, Aswin found there was no more water in his water bottle. “I was hungry and I wanted to drink water. When I went down and pearl jewelry walked around, I found the church we go to.”

As he meandered into the premises of the Sharjah Worship Centre, church-goers noticed the boy in school uniform. Some of them had heard the radio announcement about the missing boy. One of them, identified as Lijo Mathew, questioned Aswin, collected his father’s number and informed the latter.

At that moment, Abraham, who works in the engineering services section at Dubai Airport, was about to enter the police station again. “I had filed the complaint as we could not find him till 10pm.” The father had desperately searched for his son after the school conductor and driver, on pearl jewelry enquiry, told him that the child was dropped at the next stop. “As they told the same to the police, I was advised to wait till midday today (Tuesday) to see if I get any news about my son. It was when I returned to the police station that I received the call from Liju,” said Abraham.

The parents, who reached home at 3.30am after the search for the son, wept through the night. “Anything could have happened to my child. God saved him. The wheat pearl radio announcement really helped in tracing him.”

Aswin was not scolded for his unforgivable mischief which he promised never to repeat. He was playing computer games when he spoke to Khaleej Times. On the other hand, he has given some lessons to his parents and school. “It’s become difficult to read the minds of kids pearl earrings nowadays. I’ll be taking more care about him here onwards. We will also accompany him when he boards the bus and gets dropped,” said his father.

The school head said all the bus drivers and conductors were already instructed never to drop any child in a stop other than the one near their house. “Doing a favour to the parents has boomeranged on us. Parents should take the responsibility of sending their children to tuitions,” said Mini Chandran.

Huge optimism and end of term fever will grip the Formula One paddock this weekend as the global circus races into the unknown on the futuristic Yas Marina circuit in Sunday’s inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

After seeing the 2009 World Championship cultured pearl jewelrysettled in Brazil ten days ago, the leading teams and drivers all believe they can relax and take a more aggressive approach to winning the season-ending race on a Gulf island.

Traditional power-houses Ferrari and McLaren Mercedes are both confident of performing well on the newly-built harbour-side track as are champions Brawn and their season-long rivals Red Bull.

That means a fierce scrap between outgoing pearl earrings champion Briton Lewis Hamilton and his compatriot newly-crowned champion Jenson Button is in prospect.

Former champion Finn Kimi Raikkonen, Australian Mark Webber and his Red Bull team-mate German Sebastian Vettel and Button’s Brawn partner Brazilian Rubens Barrichello are also likely to be at the forefront of the action.

Brawn team boss Ross Brawn, fresh from pearl jewelry a week of celebrations, budget worries and endless speculation over the future of his team after their fairytale success in winning both the drivers and constructors titles in their first season, said he is determined to do well in Abu Dhabi.

But he may find he is still engulfed in the media frenzy that has swirled around his talks with Button for a new contract, starting next season.

Brawn has made it clear he wishes to game machineskeep the 29-year-old Englishman on board, but has to find a compromise between his salary demands and the team’s ongoing budget.

“Jenson’s obviously a great driver and for those teams without their full compliment of drivers he has got to be a target,” said Brawn.

“We want Jenson to stay in the team and I think we will find a solution. He has a contract with us, but of course that contract is not the salary of a world champion freshwater pearl jewelry and not the salary of a team that is now in a much stronger position than it was ten months ago.

“We are working with Jenson to find a balance between what we can afford and what he feels is fair for his status and what he can contribute in the future. You are never 100 per cent, but I would say we are 99 per cent.”

While Button seeks to secure his future  cultured pearl jewelryas a world champion with Brawn, Ferrari’s former title-holder Raikkonen wants to bid farewell to the Italian team with a win.

The 2007 world champion will be replaced at Maranello next season by two-times champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso, now of Renault.

“The race in Abu Dhabi will be my last Grand Prix with Ferrari and as usual I will give it everything to gain the best possible result,” said Raikkonen.

“We’ll try to conclude this difficult year with pearl jewelry a good result, hoping that it will be enough to gain the third place in the Constructors’ Championship.

“McLaren took over in Brazil so we know it will be difficult, because the competition is very strong. It’s time for me to say goodbye to the guys at Ferrari after three years together.”

Asked about Sunday’s sunlight to darkness race, he said: “It looks like the organisers have done some great work — the circuit seems to me very interesting and wheat pearl challenging and it is going to be a special challenge to start in sunlight and finish racing in the dark under floodlights.”

Webber was also bullish about the track and his prospects. He knows he will finish fourth in the title race. “It looks great and I am sure we are going to go well there,” he said. “Bring it on.”

Hamilton was in much the same mood and  pearl earringsas a lover of street tracks said he relished the prospect of a battle in the dusk race.

“We have had a terrific second half of the season and it would be good to go out with a win,” he said.
