Lets start the first topic with God itself... after all He is All..
well.. I would actually like to share certain instances from my life which might be astounding, magical or even unbelievable... But there are some moments in life for which we cannot find answers... those moments only i name it "GOD" or a supreme power...
Instance 1:
I joined T.V.S Lakshmi Matriculation, Madurai at 7th.. I came from chennai.. My second language at my earlier schools was Hindi.. Though my mother tongue is Tamil... i dunno how to read or write Tamil till i came to Madurai because i was not given the chance to learn it... I came and was shocked to know that there is no second lang, third lang system here.. and everybody should learn both the languages till 9th.. which meant i had to learn Tamil at 7th std syllabus straight away without even having previous exposure even to alphabets.... worse of all is its grammer... i seriously thought i would never be able to do it... Everyone advised my parents to either change the school or put separate tutions for Tamil alone.. But my mom was not game in for both... she dint want me to lose this good school nor to put under somebody's guidance.. she took the challenge of teaching me Tamil...
She would be there patiently teaching right from alphabets to forming sentences... Then not to forget My tamil Sir at 7th.. He was also new to the school the same year but he encouraged me so much and ensured i understood what was happening in the class.. If not for both of these people i would have never passed in tamil and also missed such a beautiful Language.. Believe me or not.. I never flunked in any of the tamil exams.. My first exam i scored 54.. which was the my all time low marks in my school but that mark is very special cos i still remember that day coming home in tears telling mom that i was not even able to read the paper though i knew answers for the questions.. Just that i dint know how to write them... Understanding this My tamil Sir, KaveriManiam gave me 54... i really treasure that paper with spelling mistakes all over it... ;)
By the end of the year, i scored 87.. 2nd highest in my second paper tamil which i consider the biggest acheivement in my Life.. And i owe all this only to these 2 people.. My Mom and My Tamil Sir....!!
I see god in these people... Even now when i think about those moments.. it looks miraculous... When i cried to my mom telling i would fail only.. she told me.. You have never failed in any of the exams.. And you wont in this also.. But even if you i will worry because it will only help you to acheive higher....
Thats my mom... always beside me.. even now.. when i undergo a distress time.. she gives me a consoling word and a hand to lift me up... After all, Mom is god to everyone so is she to me also... My special god...!!!
Reading this post brought to my memory a related anecdote!!!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not i had to face the similar situation when i came down south to do my 8th Grade from Karaikal and i was not as lucky as you were in school cos i had a hard core pro ('To put it in a slang "Amma")teaching us the divine language and in the first class i got the bashing of my life from her for writing down the symbols and signs wrongly(which were dyslexial thought at that time about the language).In fact i was supposed to write down the first chapter which is called "Saiyul udamai" rather i wrote down "Thirukural" thinking everything in tamil is Thirukural.
Ha Ha.. thats really funny...!! ;) pity you a lil also...!! i kno the times wen we had to translate the local slang tamil into proper tamil.. like it would be given as "Nashtha Undacha"?? for which i couldn even read it in tamil..??!!
