School days – Golden Era


Today I am getting nostalgic about my school days, when ever you think of school; you would always end up thinking of teachers & friends.
If I go back in time I remember Sukumbha teacher who taught me in UKG. And I remember having only one friend those days and I was not a very studious student in class those days.
Some how, I got pushed to 1st std. I don’t remember the teacher’s name but she was very strict I was really scared about her; I think this could be one of the reasons that I do not remember her. Again I was very week in studies hardly got any marks in tests and exams. I don’t know how I moved to 2nd.

Moved to 2nd, I remember me crying on first day to entire into the school. Indrani was our class teacher I was in B section. Indrani was very strict and my memory is still fresh with her beating on my hands. I am grateful to her, she changed me totally. I suddenly started studying. I used to complete my home work on time. I started improving my rank. I moved to 3rd.
I was in 3rd, poornima teacher handled our class, she was cool as cucumber, never punished any body.
In 4th, Indira priyadarshini handled our class. Even she was very good. Many kids loved her including me. She was very good.

I was really happy to move from primary to middle schooling just because I could start using Pen.
(We were allowed to use only pencil in 4th and below, now a days nursery kids use pen from day one.)
In 5th, there was reshuffle among all the sections, I was in B section. After reshuffle, I remained in B, but there was many people from A, C & D section. Again I knew only couple of people in my class. Shilaja Raghavan Teacher handled our class and she was not strict. By this time my rank in class has come down because there was no strict teacher to mend me after 2nd std.

In 5th I had very good friend Pramod (we are still friends and we met every weekend), we studied together from 2nd. But we got closer in 3rd and again regrouped in 5th.

In 6th, Gayathri Jayaram handled our class; she was very strict and valued only intelligent students. Pramod being the topper and I always with him got some recognition sometimes.
Till 5th, I was most decent guy and I loved to play and be with friends. In 6th due to some bad company I started to know things which I am not supposed to know.
But I studied well in 6th and passed with good percentage. I remember moving to new building of our school campus in 6th. In 6th I was good at extra circular activities; I was bold enough to sing songs to entire class (off course I was not rhythmic those days, which I realized after long time)

In 7th, Gayathri A.N. handled our class; she was awesome to look at, highly religious. She used to make us recite Bhagvath Geeta for 30 minutes every day. For some reason she was not married.
She used to visit Ramakrishna ashram regularly. Again in 7th there was minor reshuffle, our class strength had increased because some students joined our class for language change.

I moved to 8th, I was very eager to move to high school because we were allowed to where pants
In 8th again there was major reshuffle; most of my friends were in my class I got to meet some more good friends. Our class was over crowed just because most of the student wanted Sanskrit as there first language, off course including me.
In 8th we had one teacher who handled just for 6 months then we did not have class teacher at all. Sorry I don’t remember her.
In 9th, we had very soft math teacher, Shakuntala goipnath. She did not dare to scold anybody. She did not teach us math that well also. Still with my own interest i studied maths and got good marks. Most of my class mates got pass class in maths.
In 10th, Anuradha Ramesh, handled our class, she was good but taught us outside syllabus which did not help many students in public exam. In 10th I put all my efforts and passed the public exam with got percentage and got into college to end my schooling days.

Apart from my class teachers there were other subject teachers who I must remember like, Parvathi AN(English), Bhatt Sir (Math & Science), Noor Salma(Science), Nalini(Social Studies), Gangabalachandra(Biology), Hema Nayaran(Our Principal, taught English), Vishnu Bhatt Sir(Sanskrit),GK Kamath(Sanskrit), Physical Traning Sir(Nick named Blunder Bore), and others

Happy New Year

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all. This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year. I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it. I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!. This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.

India needs Revolution.

Have you ever renovated your house while staying in it. Believe me it is a mess. In early 90s, my father was did a small renovation of our house and we stayed in the house while extending a part of kitchen, bathroom and dining hall. I was not comfortable during those 30 days of renovation. There was no privacy coz, workers were every where doing the job. The entire place was full of dust. The small tiny particles of sand and cement were there in all the places. My mom used to clean the house all day long to keep it clean. Once the renovation completed, there was sense of relief and I particularly was happy because of no dust. I am telling you this story because this exactly fits the current Indian system. Be it the Nair Radia tapes, Telecom Scandal, common wealth scandal,political parties, etc. By seeing India from a distance, as i am currently outside India, i feel India is still in process of renovation, there is corruption every where. Everybody know all political parties and bure...

Nostalgic about food.

Have you ever experienced in your life a certain addiction to a particular food with particular flavor and taste.No matter you eat that food any where in the world you will never ever get satisfied and you constantly miss that taste.And sometime you regret that you could not eat as often as you could, simply because we could not afford it. It was way back in late eighties when i used to live in beautiful Bangalore. Unlike today Bangalore was so peace full and a calm place my brother and me used to ride a bicycle and go to a mobile shop(i.e a small shop on wheels) and eat "Masala poori" and "Pani poori" which used to cost us just Rs 1.50 a plate, together we both would spend utmost 6 rupees. we used to go some where around 7:30 and 8 PM in the night relish the great stuff.  I agree it was not the most hygienic food. After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...
