Do you all know Osama Bin Laden and his favourite day? I will
give a clue, its in September. Now its obvious right?
Long 24 Yrs back, in Kerala, known to be the “God’s own country”,
in northern part , known as the land of festival and pooram
“Thrissur”, blessed with lots of rivers and greeneries, in an
evening, I struggled to come out to see the light, Yes it was on
Sep11 or 9/11 I saw the world and now, I am here for drawing a
picture along with I want to break the ice on this great day!
Kottapuram is a small village which had the foot steps of Tiger
of Mysore, Tipusultan,has lots of rivers surrounding it. Ours was
a small and happy family in that village.
In spite of being a government servant, my Dad found
time in giving us better education. Christian missionaries’
started schools in our village so it was easy for my Dad to find
an admission there. My Mom, was more concerned about our
studies and taught me the first lessons of mathematics, she found
it difficult though.
Being the youngest is good since for every mistake the youngest
one does, elder one gets punishment. But in the absence of
parents they come in role in making the youngest ones obey
whatever they say. I enjoyed and still enjoy being the youngest
in my family. I had a good chance to play at the same time fight
with my brother and sister.
They really added more color to the village as I can proudly see
my brother holding a bachelors degree in Engineering and my
sister masters in Nursing.
I enjoyed the homely food and somewhat strict rules(it was not
though ) set by my mother upto class 12. After 12th class, I
found it difficult to reach St.Joseph’s Engineering College since
it took 4 hours from my village . So the only option was to find
a good hostel nearby. I found it and got lot many friends from
different parts of Kerala. I had a good experience like mingling
with everyone,handling things by myself and making more friends.
Taking participation in all kind of musical competitions, coming
back with prizes , was one thing I liked most apart from studies.
4 years passed very fast and the second last year all were busy
in finding jobs through campus placements and I had a big
opportunity to be a part of one of the big software firm that
time, the satyam computers now known as Mahindra satyam. Dec
2007, same year I passed out my engineering degree,I joined with
satyam in Hyderabad. I did not forget to see all the palces in
Hyderabad during the 10 long months there. Was missing homely
food so badly and was so eager to stay with my nephew and I
planned to get relocated to Bangalore. Next month I will be
celebrating my 1 year in Bangalore. Now that small and happy
family near the riverbank has shifted near to old airport with
all the members, new members too except my dad.
Now you can draw a picture with few changes, erase the river
instead draw an airport, forget about birds that sung beautiful
songs, include the sound of fighters and jets. 24 years back I
was the youngest but now my niece and nephews holds that place.
But by gods grace, happiness still remains the same.
I hope I made my promise.i drew the picture and with this I have
broken the huge ice piece!
ThankYou!
