Starting with a smile.. :)
How can I forget my school life.. It is the most happiest period in my life.
The moment I think about my school , a few faces suddenly flash before me. Lavanya, Satish, Priya, Gowtham, Sivakumar, Ramakrishnan, HariPriya, SriHari.. my gang.. :D
Ideal Matric Hr.Sec Secondary school, Pudhupalayam, Narasimma naicken palayam, Coimbatore - 641 031.
A very calm place. Our school is situated in a deserted area, not even a single house surrounding our school for about 2 kms.
I still remember the day I joined there, for UKG. I was interviewed in our school branch at pochiyur by our English teacher Radha.
During that time, LKG and UKG classes were under pandal, straight opposite to the present volley ball court. When I entered the class room on the first day, I was stunned seeing a huge black face, sitting in the last bench and eating something. I was praying that I should not sit with that guy but fate, I was allocated that place. But that time I didnt know that huge black faced guy will be my best friend and still our friendship continues. Yes, he is A.Satish Kumar, now working in Wipro Technologies (Sorry da karupatti, unna comment panradhukku :P)
I was the topper in alomst all the classes. Whenever some one scores even 1 mark more than me, I will never accept. I will curse that guy to the extent :P
Let me describe about my most valuable friends first, not in specific order.
Satish, my first friend in my life. We are very close and still our friendship continues. 20 years of friendship. I'm close with his family also. His sister Devi is also a good friend of mine. He calls her as akka only but I never call her like that. Even now, I call her by name only. I'm like second son to their parents. Whenever I visit their home, his mum wont allow me to leave without having lunch. Tea prepared by his mum is my favourite. After a long time, I went to his home in Hosur, some 2 months back, to attend my college friend's sister wedding. I purposefully wanted to go to his home, so fought with my college friends and took this chance to go to his home, stayed there for a day. 
Priya, my another childhood friend, of course my best friend. We are from the same village, relatives too, my sister :P. We are friends right from 5th std. We still remember our first meet. I dont want to mention that here, Priya knows the reason for this. It will be a big comedy for others and a great damage to me. So, Priya, pardon me for not telling about our first meet. :) We cant forget the days spent. Me, Priya and Vanitha are very close friends. We will be discussing about all topics in this world, sure, we wouldnt have missed anything in this world. My mum and my sisters will be always teasing us, as we will be always in phone for hours. We call each other on a daily basis. The only person with whom I was sharing all my happiness and sorrows. Spent very good time during her house warming ceremony. I gifted her silver kungkumachimil and she preserves that as a precious one :P Have one important thing to tell about her but she will kill me if I talk aboout that. Puriliya Priya.. R--hB--a. HariPr, unaku purinjirukumae. Unaku puriyama vera yaruku puriyum :P Days passed, we were out of contact for some years but now we are back on the track :)
Gowtham , Sivakumar, HariPriya - Though we know each other from lower classes, we havent spoke much. I became so close with them during our 11th and 12th classes. Gowtham and Sivakumar were big competitors for me in studies and I will be always scolding them if they get 1 mark more than me. Me, Satish, Gowtham, Sivakumar form a good gang and we will be having get togethers regularly. Always these guys will be scolding me for not calling to their mobiles. I will just give a missed call, sometimes not even that. They will be always scolding me but still again and again they call me regularly, atleast for scolding me. Haripriya, hole mouth (otavaai). She will call me as 'vichu' only. Very matured, at the same time always pulling my legs in front of others. We couldnt forget the incident happend to us in one of our friend's marriage(will be talking about this friend at last). 'Incident' is the best word to describe about that. Hari, when you read this, definitely you will laugh :D . We call her as 'Alagi' Dhanalakshmi, Dhanam(my mobile have her contact info in this name only. Dhanam, Dhanam Dad, Dhanam Mum, Dhanam Home). Yes Yes 'Alagi Nandhitha Das. :D :P We all will be torturing her with this dialogue 'Nee nalla irukonum shanmugam' :PRamakrishan and Hari - What to say about them. Best companions to me and satish. Ramakrishnan will be the main target for all of us, especially satish. Of course, I'm a good boy and will never tease him :P. Satish will be calling him as Sakkara only. He is the point of attraction for all girls lol :P Really miss these guys :(
Last but not least, my best friend Lavanya. No words about her. Really missing you de Butty :( Have to write a seperate blog about her.. :P
Couldnt forget the teachers we had. Right from Venkateshwari to Neelamani, we still remember all of them and I have some of their wishes in my diary too :)
Venkateshwari - It will be best to describe her as my friend, rather than a teacher. Me and my sisters are very close to her. Whole school knows about my affection with her. All rounder. She teaches Tamil, Physics, Chemistry and she is the sports organizer of our school at that time conducting all tournaments. We were really happy when she came to our home to invite us for her wedding. We 3 attended her marriage along with our parents. She is the only reason for me very much interested in Physics. My aim was to become a good scientist but my dad didnt accept that and now I'm a good software engineer.. hopefully.. he he he :). Even she scolded me for my decision of taking Physics as my future. Miss you Venki :(
Radha- My first teacher, who interviewed me and gave me admission in this school. She will be always advising us about the importance of speaking in English.
Thilagavathy - 'Paera kaetala summa adhirudhalla' - This dialogue best suites her. No one can forget her. Everyone in the school, right from LKG to 12th students were afraid of her. But she is the favourite of all, especially the kids of lower classes.
Thilagamani - The only History teacher in our school. We will be always talking about her like how she is interested in this boring subject.
Kalaiarasi - Mathematics. Her language will be really superb. When someone didnt finish the assignments, the line which comes from her is "yaen homework pannala. ponnu paaka poitiya illa unna maapillai paaka vandhangala. en vaila nalla varudhu".. She and her hsuband were my dad's student, so she will not scold me :)
Jiji - My another good friend. The only teacher who bet me, when I was in 7th, for getting low marks in csc(88/100). It became a big issue and she got nice scoldings from princi. Like vathy miss, everyone will be scared of her.
Sujatha - 'Two Gentlemen of Verona". This is the first lesson she took for us, in 7th std. We will be calling her as Verona only. The way she pronounces the word "verona" will be very cute. 'Two Gentleman of VVVeroonnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'. She will be always scolding me. Tom and jerry. But a very good friend of Satish. Still they are in contact. Cant forget Satish's action of waving his handkerchief when she talks with others. Satish, correct thana... :D
Neelamani - Chemistry. Best word to describe her.. 'ZINC'. She will be pronouncing it in a different way. We will call her as 'Zingc' mam only. My another good friend. I missed one mark in 12th public exam in Chemistry. More than me, she felt a lot for that. Could never forget the chemistry labs and her teachings. Gowtham will always target her asking doubts and I will come into picture to save her. Gowtham, hope you remember this. She has filled 12 pages in my slam diary. She invited me alone for her marriage but couldnt attend that. :(
Zakia Sultana - Our tamil teacher in 11th std. Only me and satish still talk about her. She will come to our place and will tell all her sorrows to us. "yenpa enna ipdi panranga etc., etc.," At times she used to cry and we use to console her. Whenever she starts 'urainadai', the only line she tells will be 'Vishnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, endhiruchu padi'. I have read the whole lesson aloud. At times I will hide under the bench but this stupid satish will make me caught. Satish and saravanan will always tease me with this.
Vallinayaki - A very good friend of me and my sisters. Very close to us. We 3 are the only persons in this school who like her. She will be very rude towards others but we 3 never felt like that. Still she is in contact with us. She is also in touch with my parents. She will be always teasing me as 'unnoda rendu akka vum irukara yedamae theiryadhu. avlo amaidhi. adhuvum kayalvizhi romba amaidhi. nee iruka paaru avanga paera kedukarakunae'. The reason for telling like this she doesnt like boys-girls interaction and whenever she see me, I will be chatting with Priya, Butty and HariPr. Butty, haripr and priya hate her. aagavae aagadhu.
Others include Usha, Sasikala, Accounts Bhuvi(cant forget her and her advices and mokkais), Maths Bhuvaneswari, Thiruchelvi, Mareeswari, Helen, Jai Suganthi, Thenmozhi, Aruna, Rani.
Let me now start a few memorable moments which we will never forget in our life.
The first thing which comes to my mind was our computer lab hours. Me, butty and satish were enjoying a lot at that time. We three will be always together in the labs. Satish will be sitting in the middle and me to the right of him and butty to his left. Me and Butty wantedly make Satish to sit in the middle and we would torture him by discussing about serials. Yes, how to forget Annamalai serial. Its our favourite. Me and Butty would be discussing each and every scene of that serial and sometimes fight for our favourite characters and irritate Satish to the core. Also Jackpot. How to forget that. We all will be always discussing about Kush in that program and we text each other while the show is in progress. About her costumes, hair styles, her pronounciations etc., Another unforgettable moment is about Kavitha. Satish, hope you will be laughing now by reading this :D Once she asked me and Satish as 'rendu rendu paerum enkoda paesavae matingiringa. eppa paathalum lavanya kuda mattum than paesaringa'. :D We were shocked by hearing this. Even now when we three meet or talk over the phone, we will remind this and laugh to the core.
Satish will never tell truth about me to his mum. When he gets low marks in some subjects, he will tell his mum that Vishnu also got very low marks and escape from scoldings. Still I remember, he never showed school fees receipt to his parents. Will not tell the original amount to them and take some 100 rs extra with him. :D
Once, Priya was very crazy about Abbas. SSSSaapppppppppppa my second sister will tease her a lot, 'ennada un friend. abbas ellam oru ivan, avanuku oru fan'. I will be always teasing Priya with this. Like how people remember me when seeing Kush, I remember Priya when I see Abbas. Want to tell one more thing. My mum has too much confidence on her. In the sense, whenever I go out with friends, my mum will allow me only if Satish and in particular, if Priya comes. I remember once she said to her 'en paiyana batharama kootitu po'. While writing this, one incident flashed in my mind suddenly. Hey Priya do you remember once you had pop-cut style and Radha miss scolded you for that and she dressed your hair in the class room :D :D Thoppi thoppi :P We two really spent a lot of time together in our childhood and many were jealous of our friendship. Missing our fun :(
Haripriya's wish is to become a wife of a military man. Paavam that guy. If it happens, I'm sure that guy will run to Pakistan and become a terrorist and kill her.. lol :P Non stop talking. Very jovial. We had a good time during 11th std when she was sitting behind me and Satish. One thing I hate is their family supports KK and me JJ. So at times I feel like killing her. Whenver some one tease her, she will tell 'inga paruda vichu'. I remember her slang very well even now. 'Loosu maari pasesadha da', 'Chi po paiya' , 'Ennada Vichu ipdi paesara' are her frequent words. Nalla kalla poduva :D Hey Hari, shall I tell about Sen....ja. :P Ha ha ha.. Hari, do you remember the song 'Poo pookum masam'.. especially the humming 'hmmm hmmm hmmm'.. Definitely you will be laughing when reading this.. 100% sure. Enna happy tears a? :P The interesting thing about her is she will always plan forget togethers and get bun from everyone. :D Hari alugadha. :P ha ha ha
Worser than me is Gowtham. Sabba mad of games. Will be always playing games in PC. Whenever me, Subbu, Satish plan something, this guy will nod his head for everything and finally tell as 'appa vida maatinguraru' and drop our plan. I still remember, once me, Satish and Subbu were waiting for him in thudiyalur bus stand, near auto stand. We had actually planned to go for a movie, I think Peralagan. We waited for an hour for him. He came atlast in his bike, said coolly that his dad didnt allow and went. Stupid guy, he will always drop our plan. While going to college in s29 bus, he will be studying in bus also. Sujatha miss tease him as saamiyar only. Correct name. Hey another interesting fact about Gowtham, do you remember da, when we were studying 11th, during sports day time, you camewith me to computer lab and Radha miss scolded you like anything that 'biology student ku computer lab la enna vela' and she made it a big issue telling to Vathi miss and all.
Next, Subbu. Main culprit for keeping pet names to me. Once he listened to some proverb from the serial 'Chinna Paapa Periya Paapa' and told this to all and tortured me like anything. He drew that symbol in all my books and in my autograph diary. I will get irritated and attack them with compass and safety pin. These guys told about this to Mareeswari miss and she called me andgave advise for half an hour. All credits goes to Subbu alone. We two went together for counselling and we had actually planned to take same course. But that stupid guy suddenly changed his mind in the counselling room and took ProdEng in GCT. Got very nice scoldings from his mum.
Me, Subbu and Satish went to Peralagan film. We went to town hall, from there we walked towards Archana theatre using the sub way and got ticket. We went to Das film also. All mokka films. While watching peralagan, we were talking about our 12th results 'naalaiku result vandha epdi irukum' and as soon as we reached home, got a call that our results were announced. Satyaraj called me and said that I got first mark.
Hey guys, you remember, once during physics special class in 12th, Satyaraj slept in the clas while Suji was teaching. She got angry and threw duster on him. When she asked him about that he said he had a head bath and so suffering from severe head ache and so slept. We all hada good fun at that time. Also a big picture which he drew in all our slam books with the caption that was his image.
Ramakrishnan will be the main target to Satish. Satish will be always teasing him and I will scold Satish and support Rama. Hey Satish do you remember, he will call himself as 'Kicha' and tell lots of storiesabout his mannerisms and how he will cheat his neighbour kids. Satish will call his as 'Sakkara', pointing actor Vinith in the movie Aavarampoo. Hey guys, do you remember, he will ask us to give super poses and he will take usa snap using his ears. Satish will get irritated by this and beat him. We all will tease Srihari and his lover Olifia. Very good guy but will always get scoldings from Satish by talking about Olifia.
Hey I'm sure all remember about the love pair in our class. I do not want to mention their names. Me and Satish will never forget. During 11th std, we were sitting in our class room. that girl came and told to Satish 'Inga paaru Satish, avan enna love panreanu solraan. Nee konjam avanuku advise pannu. Indha rakki yaavan kitta kuduthudu'. Satish turned towards me. I said 'Aala vittudu paa. Enaku theriyadhu. Neeyachu avalachu avanachu'. After some days, we saw the same girl giving card to that guy on Valentines Day and we were shcoked. We teased her like anything. Even now, me and Satish will mail her on rakshabandhan day reminding about this and she will blush saying 'summa irunga pa'. lol :P :D
Another was muruganand. Neelamani would scold him as "nee public exam la kandippa fail than".. :D He got tensed and shouted that he will complaint about her to princi. Also she scolded HariPr as 'nee ellam eduku biology group edutha. Onnum padikadha'. :D :P Appa Hari face a pakanumae.. Chancae illa. :D
Satish, Priya and HariPr will be wondering why I didnt talk about Butty yet. Ya starting about her. Wanted to have her as a last, lots to tell about her and she is all our favourite too.
'Ivala ellam paethangala illa order panni senjangala' - This dialogue suites her best. As soon as we think of our Butty, her laugh only comes to our mind. Appa. She will laugh aloud and make all of us caught. She calls herself as Aishwarya Rai and she has written in my diary that her favourite pass time is attending fashion shows(Hari, Priya sirikadhinga). She comes to school by bicycle and at times will get scoldings from our driver Sivakumar for coming in the centre of the road. Hope you all remember, during margali month, when our bus crossed Perumal temple, we can see Butty there. Thala viruchu potutu, manja thanni oothitu, vinayagara suthittu irupa. Also if we talk some secret, she will torture us to tell that to her also, but she will not understand about whom we are talking and some time late, she will correctly talk about this to the person about whom we spoke :D I really couldnt forget her laugh and especially her nose stud. My mum and sisters like her very much. Hey Priya, HariPr, do you remember the way she draws frog? First she will draw a circle using one rupee coin and then draw four lines for its legs. Hope you two will be laughing now. Also her letter writing. In 10th, in English II, we need to write a letter to the post master that our address has been changed
and request him to send the letters to our new address. But she wrote 'My address is changed and if any letter comes, send it to this address and gave post master address' :D For that, Account Bhuvi gave full 10 marks. Also once Priya, HariPr caught hold by Valli miss becauseof her. These 3 will be sitting in last bench and Priya near the window. She was explaining them about Kadhal kondaen story. They didnt notice Valli miss in the varanda and from that, whenever Valli miss see them, she will stare at them. Also once in 11th std, Priya fired a match stick in the class room and called me and Satish and showed 'inga paathiya epdi yeriyudhu'. Smoke started to come and we were scared. Zakia Sultana miss gave complaint to Princi that Ranjith and his gang are smoking in the class. We kept mum and escaped from the situation. Priya oru Rowdy Rangamma. Whenever Butty is around us, we all will forget the whole world and will always laugh till our stomach pains and tears from eyes. Haripr, Satish, Priya, hope you guys accept this. :D Also the invitation we wrote for her. Cant explain about that here. :P Still she preserves that safely.
Also the days which we spent in Butty's home during her marriage. It was such a memorable moment, especially for me and Hari. Special thanks to Butty's grandma. Hariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, dont laugh. Me, Priya and Haripr were in Butty's home for 3 days and we spoke on all nonsense topics and advised her about her marriage life. Hari, Priya mulikadhinga. :D Also about Nimmy and her uncle's son... Hope you two can guess what I'm mentioning about. We attended her engagement, marriage and reception. My parents also came with me. It was such a pleasant one and of course, her last minute with us as our friend. We will be always teasing her as we couldnt believe that she got married, still she is like a kid, but now she have a kid :) Really we all miss you Butty. You are such a good friend to me, Satish, Priya and HariPr. We all miss you like anything de. No one can replace you and no one can take your place from our heart. You will be always our best friend. Miss you :(
Finally, I would like to mention about all our pet names.
Me - E, Kushboo Raaj- Pazhapalathumaela E ukkaralam, adha thookitu poga aasa padakudadhu(By Subbu)
Satish - Balcky, Karupatti, Karutha machan(a song from Pudhu Nellu Pudhu Naathu), Tommy - Tommy uncle ku good morning sollu (By Subbu)
Gowtham - Kotai sami(A character in the serial Soolam - By Satish), Saamiyar(By Suji)
Sivakumar - Kaakaa
Priya - Gundu, Jothika
Lavanya - Butty, Aishwarya Rai, Rajam(Metti Oli character, Girijaka komalam(Satish, we two know the reason for this :D)
HariPriya - Eru kuchi(By Butty), Dhanam, Nandhitha Das, Kari, Sori(Gowtham, Nice name da), Sori pulla
I really enjoyed my days in my school, especially 11th and 12th std.
I'm happy that Priya and Butty are much possessive on me and if I talk about some one or mention someone as a best friend, Butty will shout like anything :P
Another final thing, about Kushboo(ennada ivan innum arambikalayae nu thana yosikiringa :P) I have many friends in my life but only Priya, Butty, Satish and HariPr knows how much I like Kushboo. Wherever we are, if any Kush song comes in TV, I will be getting a message from you all to watch that program immediately.
Still me and Haripr will talk about this. We two always like our school life and hate our college life to the core. HariPr will be always telling as 'school friends thanda endha edhirparpum illa friends aanom. engaponalum school friends maari namaku vera yaarum varamaatanga'. Very true Hari. None can replace you all. Our school life memories will always be in our mind, at the same time, we never want to recollect our college life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy ending :)
Guys, please share your views.
