My Schooldays...Collegedays....and....Friends

My studenthood...mmm, I started my First Grade at Kuzhithurai Public School, next year as my moms' work was transferred to another place I continued my Second Grade at Thuckalay Public School. The only friend I had at  this time and I could remember is my younger sister Beaula, she was in her first grade there. Next year came back to Kuzhithurai but another school, Kuzhithurai Public(Middle)  School and folks like Xavier, Johnsileria, Russel, George, Edward Sam became my friends. I was there for four years.Entered in to the big campus of Govt. HSS Marthandam in 1984 in my Seventh Grade..., I got a good friend of mine Premsingh Rajayan in this campus. Another Jeromson was also a good freind. After passing SSLC myself, Prem and some other friends went to St.Josephs' HSS, Trituapuram to continue our HSC with Maths as our major subject. In these two years (1988-1990) I moulded myself a lot and got an ambition to become a Graduate in Agricultural Science.

I had a  friends circle here with friends like Redlee, Alexandar, Aji My daily commute to school was mostly in my bicycle and some times by bus. When the results of HSC was published I realised I could become an Engineer rather than an Agri. person.

There was a good turn when I got admission at A.K.College of Engg, in my favourite branch Instrumentation and Control (ICE). I improved my leadership qualities and organizing abilities here a lot. Our Head of the Dept. Prof.Arumugha Mudaliyar was a good encouragement for me both academically as well as in the extra curricular activities. Our second year tour to different places in South India was a good one, the moments we pushed the bus in which we were travelling on the uphill of Ooty road made us to remember 'Union is Strength'. During my third year I just became a poet after winning the First Prize in Verse writing competition. Our third year study tour had left ever green memories in the hearts of all participants.

We three (Hema, Vino and Viswam)  were a good combination to do lot of mischieves in campus, but my inspiration to score good was Viswanathan Raju. Friends like Maads, PAPS, Reuben, Bals, P.K.Sudhaher, Gums, Maruthi, Andi, Tenkasi, Mangudi, Uma, Rakesh, Senthil, Siva, Rajkumar and Venkatramanan were with me most of the time and in events. Some of the seniors who guided me are Raju and Senthilkumar of Instrumentation Dept. The poem which I wrote on our last working day April 4th 1994 contained most of the events happened in our college life and got good appreciation from every one. We made our college Alumni Association an active one.
