Hey i m trying 2 write ... ya i know there is a huge risk in this .. because dis is d 1st time i m trying dis ... so if u have d courage n time 2 take this risk, read on ...
It will b better if i start with myself ... So here is how i became what i am now ...
My life ... well i remember myself as a primary school going kid .. i was just a usual one ... i had no impression about myself, just a usual kid. i grew up like d same .. i had nothing new or fresh in me ... tried to do many things ... nothing worked out ... n i remained d same... I was an average guy in studies .. or u can say an Above avg in VVB standards (Its my 1st school )
Well everything was absolutely normal till den .. i had no expectations of life ... no issues ... Life was just repetition of d same day ... I had a few friends den, yaa i loved them ... [:)]
It was wen i was in 6th std wen my bro passed Xth. He had good scores. 83+ % in SSLC is never anything less... but he had gr8 problem in getting admission in some college 4 PDC ... it was in yr '98 wen d govt was moving from PDC to +2 ... By God's grace, he got into UC College for PDC, and at the entrance coaching classes of PC Thomas, he met Rakesh Pai and heard about Model Technical HSS and my parents decided to move me from VVB to MTHSS... I never wanted 2 leave VVB (i don understand y i didn't want 2 leave, may b because of d new bycycle i got dat yr)
The biggest break through in my life... I joined MTHSS infact i was forced to join in 8th std... I cannot explain how irritating it was to be ther at that time ... All my class mates were among the toppers in their schools n some of them where undergoing coaching classes 2 get admission to MTHSS .. oh man i cannot tell u hw bad i felt der ... It seemed to me like every1 was selfish, and were born just to study n nothing else ...
Class tests every month, quarterly exams, questioning in classes ... huu i was really irritated n the worst thing was that almost every 1 was dying to study n get in2 the toppers list in exams n were like pleading to the teachers to let them ans the questions in the class... All these happened in the same class where i was there striving to push myself from the bottom 5 so as not 2 be in the list who have to go n meet the principal !!! i managed to save myself from that 'hit list' a couple of times but most of time, things were not good for me ... I was one of the 'Standing Army' in the humanities classes ...
I was really frustrated in the transformation of myself from 'An above avg' to a 'faaaaar below avg' guy ... In the beginning it was like i had no impression about myself n now .. i have a good impression that i m such a WASTE !!!
I was happy to see that i was not alone... i found at least 2 -3 people in d class who were in the same condition as mine ... !!! n yaa .. they were my 1st friends in MTHSS ...
Abel && Balu became my friends !!! It was like a bliss to get some one like you ... I think they gave me a light in the lyfe den ... Now it was a combined effort of v 3 to push ourself from the bottom list ... copying in exams n all ... ya things go easier wen u try as a team ! [;)]
Days passed by and i discovered my class mates r not just book worms and i found some of them interesting as well ... now i got a bigger friends circle ... had lot of fun playing @ noon intervals n all ... it was a big relief for me to understand that my class mates r not ONLY made to study, but they r good @ many other things as well ...
The good days in MTHSS started by the end of 1st yr ...
Now its class 9 n v have electronics in our syllabus ... Well ... That was a gr8 break through 4 me ... i had an added advantage that i had my cos, Madhu Chettan who was staying @ my home then for his studies in final yr ITI in Electronics. I was thrilled to study Electronics cos i have some one to whom i can approach for any help. Well electronics helped me a lot to make a feeling in me that i m not a complete waste... [:D] but still i was d same in almost all other subjects ... a below average guy ... But still i was happy since i cud prove myself that i was not a Complete waste ...
The dayz which followed were the most wonderful dayz in my life ... Oo dear .. i forgot to tell u something ... before all these .. i proved my self 2 b good as a singer... the very same guy who alwayz stood up n never sat down in humanities classes, who was there in the hit list of every teacher, won the second prize in classical and light music in Arts fest ... n yaa ... Galz... the started noticing me ... (i was noticing them from d 1st day in school ... :D ) Well that was a gr8 relief .. n with my good 'skills' i cud manage a reasonable no of gals as my gush friends ... ;)
I understood most of my class mates were too good that they cannot be but loved ... Der was a wonderful atmosphere in the class.. some wonderful persons whom i cannot forget @ all--> George -- Anju -- Balu -- Abel -- Anish -- Rahul -- Ambily -- Surya-- Sreekanth -- Anoop-- Vineeth -- Kavitha -- Anjaly -- the list goes on ... Really loved the time with us ... They all influenced me in some way or the other in what i m now !
Every one became so close to each other n v did a lota things together ... Jyotigamaya a hand written magazine and The class X website were jus a few of them ... i remember, when our Malyalam Miss - Mary got a transfer from Kaloor she was weeping to leave our class... i m sure every teacher who taught us will definitely remember us...

And wen it was class X ending, besides the fact that every one will be in the same school (but in different class) and v were going to write the 1st board exam ... every one was really sad wen v realised we wont be the same class again ... Even our class teacher Jaya Miss, Prasanna miss and Jisha miss couldn't hide there tears in front of the class .. i m not exagurating but it really happened in our class !!!
The class X exams went well .. i think (i don remember) i studied well in the study holidays .. anywayz .. i cud get a good score in my Xth ... a massive 899/1000 !!! even i couldn't believe that score .. n that really gave me a SOLID feeling that i m not that bad ... :P
Joined XI th in electronics grp ... Missed many of my friends in my class but still it was nice to get the special one .. ;) New people in the class(who joined MTHSS in XIth) really disturbed us... bt still ... v cud adjust .. some of the new comers were really good as well ... Sujith AKA Susi (we miss u dear ... ) is the ONE i can name without any thinking process ... Lyfe went busy in +2 n u know y ... it was den wen i started geting d reputation of 'techie' (i think ... not sure if i got it from std IX :p) well things were slightly different den but still nice... got some new friends and d Sunday classes was real fun ... the journey in train .. v luved it .. :)
