XI C...Padmaja Madam or oul 'bloved' Puppy enters the class.Some fellows in the front bench and gals stand up as a mark of respect others make a big loud yawn and pretend as if searching 4 something .While some are trying to hide under the desks,some say good night to each other.somehow everyone finds themselves settled at a predetermined place.Puppy with a "nee okke ee kanikkunnathinu walladuthhum ninnu padichhoolum"expression clear cut on her face looks towards the board and seeing it full of signs of self expression made by some of the desperate intellectuals of the class shouts out.."Class monitor"..evrybody starts to look at each other as if enquiring"who is the class monitor"..a few minutes later the monitor with a "oo athu njaananelle look" appears on the scene.Puppy orders "clean the board".The poor guy tries his luck wid a duster saturated wid chalk powder,,puppy wid a"ninne okke enthinu kollaam look"..tells to return to his seat.The guy cursing her in minds returns..Finding the windows closed Puppy in a very animated way..and in her typical stretching style yells out"open the windows let life be colourful" the guys siitting near the windows open them with an expression "ivarinnu gulika kazhichillenna thoonnunne"Puppy somehow with a sigh starts the class"use of optical fibres" suddenly Yusuf Khan frm the back bench realisinng where he was yells out "yes ma'am".Puppy astonished '' eeh?ivanu piraanthaaya?"look tells him to sit down.Again when she says"use of....",yusuf finds himself repeating the same reaction..satanding up and giving a startled "yes ma'm".Everbody laughs out and Puppy explains that she was talking abt "use of..."and not "yusuf".The calss went on wid only the buji gals interpreting atleast the topic being taught.Just as the period was about to end there was somebody at the door wid a big packet...kurachu koodi aduthu ethiyappo mansilaayii it was Sophia Ma'am.HMM why is she here wid a packet of laddoo ?Is she transeferred?Bhagavaane nammal rakshapetto?A ray of hope...But no ithu athonnum alla..she is here wid the report cards ..she has to get them filled by the class.Puppy gave a half hearted consent "ivarkku were pani onnum ille" and wentout.Angane oru shalyam ozinju..the report cards were distributed .and some of the intellectuals of the back bench had a very serious doubt "what shud be written in the hobbies coloumn" the marks coloumn were blank..the coloumn 4 books that were read frm the library was also blank..card fill cheyyan enthenkilum wende?..ini enthu cheyyum?Angane kure peeru jeevithathil kanditillatha cycling , music okke ezhuthi.But the writer in a must state of mind said"eda Shankare(.....Raju) enta hobby..shaving"enthaanennariyilla Shankar liked shaving as a hobby very much(kulathozhil aayirikkum ..inheritence)in short time it reached two other geniouses JK (Kumaaran)and Kannan(Pedali/World bank/forest) pinne parayyanundo?all three of them wrote shaving as their most sought after hobby...and with a satisfaction of getting an opportunuty to express themselves returned the cards..athre ollaliya!!kollaam machuu great!!But the writer himself didn't get the time to write shaving as a hobby,Sophia ma'am grabbed the card and was off.Next day ,same class ,same period..somebody noticed that Shankar's father was in front of Principal's office.Shankar cudn't blieve his eyes"oru pta meetinginu poolum warathha aalu dee princiide officil..hmm ennoodulla sneham kaaranamaayirikkum"A little bit latter JK's dad as well was seen"ehh?innu case onnum ille?ooh athallenkilum illallo."surprisingly Kannan's dad was also there in a moment..the 3 people Kannan ,JK and Shanku were happy 4 themselves"nookkaliya our frnship is being reflected in our dads as well"Just as Puppy was starting to take the there was some kind of black and white figure on the door.Black frm top to bottom wid a streak of extra white clr in the middle "ithenthaa kodimaramo wid a white flag?"Ayoo ithu nammade Shivaanandanalle(cycle)..As he approached the teacher there were some yells frm the boy's bench(cycle ,cycle).As he left Puppy in a very monotonous way said"Shankar,JK and Kannan r required to meet the Principal now".Aliyaaaaaaa desp!!!
Kannan and Shankar in a very casual way walked out.JK was a bit frightened it seems..Any way just as they were at the limit of visibility Puppy said to the whole class"Is ur report card a place for writing rubbish?It is something that reflects ur personality.Dont write any rubbish there"A frightenning electric shock ripped thru the heart of the writer."Ippozhale kaaryam pudi kittiyathu..chummathalla terriffic trios's inte dads ithra orumayoode scoolil wannathu.Bhagavane..ab mera kya hoga ?."The writer's heart began to send out alarm signals.Its the writer who gave them the idea."bachao bachao koyi mojhe bachaao".A little bit later as expected Cycle arrives to tell that even the writer is required by the Princi."innu aarude thirumoontha aano entho kani kandanthu,hmm?njaaninnu kannadi nookkikkondalle wake up cheythatthu?werutheyalla!!"As the writer entered Princi's(Rajamma Kurien) room wid shakin legs and sweating hands ,he saw the terrific trio's fathers sitting there with each of their sons standin at the back. Princi asked "Are u trying to mislead people?".the writer in a feeble,trembling voice"I didn't try to lead anyone .I was just joking and didn't intend to write that".To the astonishment of the writer Mrs Rajamma told him to go back to his class"bhagavanee ithenthiru marimaayam".Pinee ee writer thirinju nookkkathe classileekku jeevanum kondoodi.Interval aayappo terriffic trio's thirichhethhi with"OOO pinne awaru olathhum"look flashing bright in the face.Rajamma weruthe aale wadiyaakki.Oru warning koduthu paranju wittu.Pakshe tension ellam weettukaarkkayirunnu.It goes like this that Kannan's father didn't allow him to close his room's door that night and had slept near him fearing that his son wud do some "bhudhhimoshams".Poor father! doesn't know that his son is a real Kandamrigam(aliya ninakku wan tholikkatti thanna).The really cool Kannan hadn't any regrets.Angane aa diwya diwasathee anubhawathodu koodi terrific trio's Barbers enna peeru kondu ariyappedan thudangi.(Barber Raju,barber Kumaran&Barber kannan)Princi ude roominakathhu nadanna wedi kettukal ethenkilum oru barber publish cheythaal nallathaayirikkum.Angane KV pattathhile kuree tense moments Kazhinju kitti.
