Everything is ceremony in the wild garden of childhood.” Pablo Neruda

Prize distribution


And then the photoshoot.


This is one of the most priceless pictures that Amma had saved for me.



It features Amma teacher (Irene teacher) who passed away recently and Rasna, my first ‘best friend’. I lost contact with her once I left the nursery and have no idea where she is now. Hope she still remembers me.


I can hardly recollect the names of others except for Karthika and Manikandan. 


Myself, obviously the handsome lad, is fourth from the right, and Rasna is third from the right. 


The first prize was a stainless steel dinner plate :) I got three of them. Yoohoo.

..the thinking process..(another teen day..a chapter on friendship!!!)



(Trust me… this is a piece of fiction…and if someone finds that the characters are real…just meet me…we’ll solve it face 2 face…!!!Plus the language used is strictly the kind of spoiled stuff modified by the typical Indian youngster for use in online chat rooms. No harms intended to true lovers of English)

So y did she actually say that..?

Hmmm…she was probably kidding…

But still she shouldn’t have...

Ha who cares…if she is like that what am I 2 do?

And I start the first page in Robbins (the first and the last name in Pathology)


Chapter: Immunology


But still is this what I deserve?

4 all those time I spend thinking of her…?

Hmmm…some things are like that…you never get things the way you wish…

I go through the first few paragraphs in the page.

Man…oh…man…this book is really cool…I really missed it all these months…

Going 4 a movie ain’t such a big sin…

I didn’t cut a lecture 4 that…okay I could’ve read something 4 the two and half hours..

But what is life without some fun?

Well lemme not waste another hour on these crap thoughts...learn boy learn…

Tiring stuff..don’t these guys know to summarize things into few pages…

Yupp…no…respect it dear…

Okay I ignored her call…what else should I do when I am inside a theatre with DTS..? Say “hello” louder? And does ‘ignoring’ a call mean I am ignoring her..? Does she know that amma had rung me at least five times continuously…? Y can’t she understand?

And how many times have I got into ‘call waiting’ when I dial her..?

And after keeping me waiting 4 half an hour she says… “dat was from home…”

I never question 4 credibility…do I?!!! Though ma brain get filled wid a trillion question marks…!!!

So are all gals like this..?

Hmmm…go to hell…I have my life to look into…and she has her own…

If that’s the way she need it…let her…idiot…

(CLOCK STRIKES 12)… okay I can’t stand longer…

Oh world here I sleep…

That creep could’ve directed the movie a better way right?

Hey what am I gonna do tomorrow…?

Hooo… Hey wait…dats my phone..ringing?

Tring tring…

Dats her yeyyyy…I know…she can’t resist…

Tring tring..

Hmm..im not gonna pick that so easily..

Tring Tring

k..that’ll do…

ME:“Hello…pal…”

REPLY: “For the latest Hello tunes dial 99838393……..”

ME:“Shit! I should complain to the consumer’s court…stupid chunks”

Okay its my fault…I’ll call her…

Tring tring..

Tring tring..

C’mon pick it up..

Another tring tring

SHE: “Ya”

ME: “Hello pal”

SHE: “Well hi…!...don’t you guys actually sleep?”

ME: “Answer me...o pal... Its 12 midnight now. Tell me how one feels when a beloved friend of his has not called him yet…and he has been waiting all the evening…4 a call”

-------------------------------------------

SHE: “hmmm….SLEEPY…right?”

ME: “Grrrrrrrrrrr.”


…Thus ends another day, 4 a teen…and 2 days later starts the second session exams…

I wake up next day...n i find a message sent late night...it read-" I know u got irritated, well de same happened 2 me wen u rejected ma calls...n i was waiting all day 4 a response...u were late..!!! Luv ye pal..."

Is it too bad a thing 2 b possessive of sumthin u luv so deeply...does it really result in breakup..?

I've heard...If u love something let it free, and if its yours it will come back...
