Welcome to schools

We are glad children after holidays for over one month are joining back to school from Tuesday or Monday . We wish them all the best … any child feels thrilling and happy to go to school while re opening and entering the next higher class on promotion . 

Vaibhav must be entering 1st Grade and Poorvi 5 th grade , Dhwani 8 th grade and Jahnvi 4 th grade .

We returned from USA in May 2023 end when schools were about to end the academic year .

We recall our presence there about 6 months prior to May 23 and be with children going to school .

I had the morning walk of accompanying Vaibhav to school in Murdock Portal . After reaching school used  to remain behind his classmates till the teacher called them in lines by 8.15 and took inside class.

While going to school and returning , it was a daily sight to see the signal lady , signal man and a few senior citizen waiting there around .

While at home , to cope with their time schedule , I used to wake up Amma by 5.30 AM help her make coffee from coffee drinkers . Later after taking the washed vessels from Dishwasher , commenced day's work by cutting vegetables .Prior to this I used to switch off security alarm, lest Amma May open some doors leading to sound of security alarm 

It was seen Chitra / Sreekanth getting up early, taking bath and waking up the kids to get ready to go to school by 8 AM.

Some urgent or fast work by Amma and me 

Making breakfasts for us , cooking food for lunch ..

For children I used to search their tiffin boxes, school boxes, umbrella, coats , socks, shoes etc 

Meanwhile Amma asking their preference prepare food to eat and carry to school, also fill in their boxes including food, one fruit box, snacks , water bottle , etc…

After they left we were free to take our breakfast , orange fruits, etc and get ready for taking bath and finish completion of making lunch.

Just a beginning of our memory ..

We remember many episodes , food preparations, visitors , visits etc 

We stop it just our first note on the occasion of children going back to school .

Don't forget to carry Thursday yellow folder and all Library books etc 

Bye bye

Fwd: Old memories from Appa(Raghavan)



Appa was earlier President of Pensioner's Association Trichur We had one room in Paruvakkat house reserved for the pensioners . He co workers in committee were KN Menon, Pandit, Kochukrishna Menon, Porinju, etc They would have regular meetings at home Some coffee/ tea , bonda all served . The Kerala pensioners were fighting to get increased pension . When he retired at 55 or so , I was 10 years old. 

Also he was a Managing member of Trichur Town Library 

When he was Devaswom Commissioner Cochin Keralavarma college Trichur was under Devaswom . Some staff used to come home with all files and Appa was signing cheques for college staff etc .

After coming to Bangalore he got engaged in Asthika samajam etc They had Sasthaoreedhi etc every year .

This is part of thattha or my appa.

He lived in Bangalore for a long period around 23 years 

He had his Account with Syndicate Bank Seshadripuram where his pension bill used to be credited .

This is a little about Appa

Our Amma was obedient and innocent .. which qualities some children possess

The Pensioners Association room in first floor of Paruvakkat house  Trichur was personal study room of our late Brother Kuttan when he was  studying in Keralavarma college/ St Thomas College Trichur . Presently Kousthabam Kalyanamantapam has come in the place of our big house
