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.
