Botany teacher Malarvizhi, who teaches in a village, promised her Class 12 students that she would take anyone who scored 90% and above in their exams on a plane ride. One student, Magizha, exceeded the target.

Both teacher and student travelled to Thiruvananthapuram before boarding a flight to Hyderabad, where they spent two days exploring the city as tourists.
