Young Vadakkencherry!

It's been a long time since i blogged and i thought today was the right day. Simply because - read on and you'll know why!

There was this small,fat and cute boy who goes to a school 16KM away daily in the local bus. He has never been to the school alone - always accompanied by his mom. Why? She was also a teacher in the same school - Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Pallavur.


His pranks were less - with the tiny tot fears of being caught directly by his mom. But yes, still he was caught multiple times - there was a time when he along with his friends were caught red handed by the principal and made to stand in front of the principal's room for hours just before his annual exams. Imagine his plight when his mom entered the room to see her son there instead of writing the exams!

The best ones came in Class IX when his mom was his mathematics teacher. Imagine him using these phrases

"Good Morning Teacher"
"May I come in Teacher?"
"How many of us have this luck of your examination paper getting corrected in front of you by your teacher / mom at your home!"

The gr8 one - getting thrown out of the class by my teacher mom, for making so much disturbance! Can this fellow really be a prankster?


Yes, there were those bad moments, but very few of them.

Many of them were bright and happy moments - My mom was my best teacher. I just love to sit in her class and that may be why Mathematics was my best subject. Love you, Mom!

How many of us would enjoy the below moments? Rare!
- my friends flocking around me to know their exam marks before hand. after all i'm the teacher's son!
- seniors buying me chocolates to help them :)
- other teachers not punishing me so much just b'cos i was their friend's son!

This is the pic of my Class IX with my mom as my class teacher and the school principal. Spot me if u can?


Awesome naa..?

Then come the examination times - after every exam, i was treated to a Kerala Paratha and Peas Masala plus Banana Bajji(my old time favorite) from Goodlands restaurant and a 3-in-1 Ice-Cream from Amrita Ice-cream Parlour (it was called Parlour then!) These were gr8 moments and the best places in my home town - Vadakkencherry.

I used to be the happiest person then - the last 30 mins spent by me in every exam was not revising the paper - but thinking about what ice-cream flavors to choose today...

There are so many such happy memories. My mom cheering me @ annual day in my school when i used to get the proficiency prizes is still fresh in my mind. On those days it used to be double treats...!

Yes, I remember them very clearly today - Or @ 7 PM, only a crazy guy will be blogging from Office in Lowell, MA with his system test running in background. :)

Dunno why, memories kept on crossing my mind - one by one it rolled over like a touring talkies which made me post this.
As years went ahead, the memories remained in my mind and in pictures.

The boy grew and looks entirely different today - many words to describe him - the best one being "Dev D II mein role pakka hai".


Those times were the best - lots of friends, lots of happiness and lots of treats! Wish those times return!

This post is perhaps the fastest i've written as I just wrote whatever came across my mind with no intentions of editing them out.

And this one is for my Mom, My School, Goodlands restaurant and Amrita Ice Cream Parlour.

Moving on.... till then Mr. Aswinkumar Vadakkencherry signing off....!
