on a rainy day

till that time i did not know the meaning of rain.i t was raining likehell let loose.there was no sun. it was cold  and dark all through the day.for days together it was raining. e were six children in our house. my cousin radha was there besides my two brothers and sisters. we all huddled up covering our selves with blankets and talking in hushed tones. we were afraid because there was gossip all round that world is going to perish  because of non stopping heavy rains. 

on the fourth day ,sky has cleared and even then we could not come outside of the house.the main reason was that temple pond near our house overflowed and the waters along with fish have come and all around the house water stayed for another two days.after thw water has receded  al l around the house , tadpoles were hopping. they looked so small and cute. i was fascinated to see them jumping hither and thither.

my elder brother  started to go to school and i used to run after him to go to school with him. but he usedto go in to the lane and run fast.i used to return back weeping.

one day my mother took me to the goldsmith.he gave me banana to eat. when i started eating ,he suddenly pierced my ears. i could not even cry properly as there was banana in my mouth.

i studied first class in local primary school. for second standard , my eldest sister joined me in christian school near municipal park, because bothe my sisters were studying there.there ,they used to give christmas greeting cards and sweets for christmas.we used play in the grounds.there was a hostel for christian students. thers a s a punishmnt for children, they used to ask us to remove weeds and thorns inthe ground.for prayer they used to sing christian prayer songs.

after my sister left that school passing her sslc, i again joined in local school. there i was made a leader for cleanliness.  when one day ,my master satrted checking our finger nails, i was afraid. because inspite of being a leader for cleanilines,my nails ere out grown and were not properly trimmed. i hid them and my master did not obserev them.

our mahadevaaiah sir used to tell us bharatham  inleisure periods  in an absorbng manner.i used to attend his tution also.i was a good student and did not give them chance to punish me.

bye for the day
