A post just like that

How come, childhood is the most cherished part of an individual's life?Is it because the sheer innocence a person has during that time ?

Off late I have been thinking a lot about the past years. There was a decade change which I was fully aware of as I was a teenager/adult during 2000's. A transformation from being a teenager to an adult. And the decade before ,1990's I was school going.
I was born into middle class Christian Family in Angamaly where the sole bread winning member was my father.Even though my father's family was rich and influential in that area,we dint benefit from that much. He always got treated secondary by his own family members.But my mother's side was different.They were everything that my father's family was not. As children, we spent our summer vacation at my mother's house and us and our maternal cousins grew together. Those fights with them,quarrelling , getting mad each other but always making up at the end of the day . Cousins, like someone said, they are the friends what we get by birth. 

Numerous weddings that I have attended of my cousins,second cousins, my father's cousins.I tried remembering the very first wedding I attended. I have four distinct memories of which I guess 2 of the weddings were in 1989 and the other  2 wedding's time line I don't remember. I should ask my mom about it.
When I was pregnant with my son, I craved my mom's breakfast like anything. School time she used to make very tasty peas masala and we used to have it with Bread.Somehow my in-laws are not very fond of green-peas but I made sure that I ate it though what I made dint come upto my mother's original taste.

I am feeling very homesick and should visit my home soon!

Memories

Sometimes when I really don't have anything to do,not even something to think hard or brainstorm,I refresh my memory back in the time line to trace till where I can reach... My friends always tell me that I am a person who can get lost in thoughts in just a snap of a second...Yes I am a day dreamer.. I agree!.
In one of those memory sessions,following are the things I can remember.

1. I have a vague memory of having a cow at my home. Recently,When I asked my mother about it, she said it was around when I was three years old.Probably my first memory.
2. I remember writing the year 1989 in my notebook .I was in grade 2 then. Again, I recollect writing 9/9/99  during a  Physics Lecture in 12th  Grade.Also I remember 12/12/12 which happened last month... :)
3. I remember my father taking me to attend the very first class in 1st Grade (year 1988)and asked me  to say "Haajar" when my attendance was taken.
4. I dint attend any of KG classes. Only class I attended before joining school was "Ashaan Kalari" where I learned those Malayalam alphabets.
5. I studied in 'Malayalam Medium' school where formal English classes started only in Grade 5.Till then, the only English what I knew was alphabets.
6. During grade 2, I was so scared of a girl in my catechism class that  I used to make reasons for not making into to the classes.I can  still remember her face.
7.Once some draw happened in my school for some prizes and I got '0' .. I still laugh thinking about this.How could someone drop '0' in a box where each student was asked to take one slip and whoever get '1' wins the Grand prize.I was in Grade 3.

Above listed all are my first memories of my life (the significant ones..:).Whenever I hear a past date or an incident I usually try to recollect what was I doing then? Do you also do the same? :)

Cheers!

High School Days!!!

In my high school time those days there was IX E division. Usually there are only 4 divisions for all classes except in 9 th standard .

When students are about to enter the ninth standard , they will pick up some 10 students from each class and make the famous IX E. The criteria of selection , not known :P

Any student would feel bad to go there , just cuz we have to leave your friends and all.

Anyways I fell among them and was shifted to the E division :)

Now 9 E class was a mix of divisional attitudes , teenage issues , gossipping etc.

All the teachers used to wait for the sem results for this infamous 9 E class. The year we were in it
1996-1997 also was not an exception..

Usually teachers scold not for studying.. but here I remember even our drawing teacher also left the class once crying cuz of our exceptional drawing abilities :D

Hey Listen, I never used to get thrown out of the class or get punishments cuz i dint perform well in my studies , but oh yeah but all other things like mocking the teachers, nick naming them etc...
Imagine standing on the benches last row :) .

Now finally the much awaited annual day competitions reached.

We all decided to take part in a drama competition .

Somebody came with script and story line. I don't remember the story line exactly..

But at the End the Hero Kills the villain . Sheikh William.. Damn the writers :).. Sheikh Villiam it seems.. :)

In the climax scene the Hero shoots the Sheikh and he has to fall down acting the pain..You guys know how is it they show in movies and all , the same way

hey i forgot to mention something .Its a girl's only school.. So all the male characters are also played by girls only..

Now the drama is going on the stage. All judges keenly watching it..
The hero shoots the villain... But the villain does not fall.. She is standing still smiling !! GRRRRRR

Curtains down!!! Drama over!! Nobody understood the climax


Back stage we are blasting her and asking


" Why the hell dint u fall down , stupid"

She answered "If I fall down my dress will get dirty,its in white color ok.. My Mom told not to get it dirty "...

U can imagine our reaction after that :)
