Rajyalakshmi teacher

Rajya lakshmi teachr joined after wards. She had been transferred from some other school.She was aged and and a very good teacher. She used to teach science to us. Her daughter was also studying higher class in our school. I was one of the good students she liked. To encourage us she used to declare that for the highest scorer she would give gifts. In one of such exams. Rajeswari asked answer to one question and I showed her. Neeraja has asked answer to some other question and I told her. When answer papers were given both of them got more marks than me.
My nature was that I would not take such help during exams even from my childhood. If ever I was in dilemma as to the correct answer and I accidentally look into others answer paper and see the answer, I would omit answer that bit than to attempt it. I would feel guilty that if I ha dnot seen in others paper the right answer there was only fifty percent chance of my writing the right answer.Like that Ilost so many marks. Rajya lakshmi teacher knew my nature and she gave me special prize for all round performance along with Neeraja and Rajeswari.On Sundays or on specific days she would take us on local tour like Kapilathhertham and such like places and tell us stori
e sall along the way. I like her very much. her approach used to be motherly than as a teacher.

my teachers at girls high school

So many teachers used to come to our class for different subjects. Till fifth class only one teacher used to take all the subjects and all the periods. It was a new experience to me. I learnt English alphabets and Hindi alphabets after I joined sixth class. ALl the four types of English letters were taught.Two teachers used to come from TTDquarters. They used to send me and Rukmini on personal work to markets and their house during their periods. We were happy to leave the class rooms and roam in the streets.We were not worried about the taeching missind during those periods. Some teachers used to send us to Udaya cafe opposite to our school to bring tiffin to them.
Idont know fear . So I was not afraid if teachers come to the class and while teaching also I used to talk to my friends. I f they observe and call me to stand ,I used to glare at them seriously. One madam used to comment on it. Bu I didnot know I was looking seriously at them and could not understand WHY she was scolding me.
After one or two months of our joining in school , our class teacher and games teacher called the entire class to the main building and asked about our talents if we had any. Myself Rukmini , Umamaheswari, VV Subbalakshmi and many other raised our hands. From then onwards for any function our involvement was there. Rukmini and I were there in almost all the dances.

Vasantha

Vasantha was my class mate in sixth class. I think she was about my sisters age ie 5 to 6 years older to me.She was wearing half sarees by then only. She was calm and would not mov efreely with us. H er house was in Thulasapuram. Later I became her friend and I used to go to her house. In her house ther eused to be big murphy radio. I never such a big one any where till now. They were Tamil Brahmins. Once I lost my maths text book and note book. I searched and could not find anywhere. After annual exams when one day I went to her house she gave that book to me back . Ofcourse by that time it was no use to me. She told that at one time she was jealous of me and stealthily snatched that that book. After I became her friend she realised her mistake , acknowledged her fault and returned to me.
I came to know that her mothe rwas very nice lady but she died at an early age. Vasantha was very much attached to her . So she was mentally disturbed by her mothers demise.She ha dbeen under treatment for few years . So her education has suffered during that time. She used to sing songs to me only. She was not participating in any extra curricular activities in school.

wall paper change

Today when I opened my laptop and saw my Gamil ,the backdrop has changed. HOW IT HAS CHANGED Idont know. I doubt if my children have changed it. Experience is new.Previously, along with the time, color and position of sun would be altering. Now new cute cartoons are seen. Today, Ujjwala has sent her photos at her office. I was happy to look them because in every dress she is nice. I recieved mail from bulli also regarding her ongoing trip to supriya. Already chinnannayya and vadina have gone there. lakki, vinny and bulli would be leaving on thursday . So there would be so much hungama , play, jokes, laughter and festive mood there. I wish I too were there to see the enjoyment and happiness. It would have been nice if Vikky and VAni also managed to to go there. I know that as vikky joined duty after long gap he is unable to go there. Every one of you who are going there would definitely have a nice and roaring time. best of luck.
