Small Beginning

Father was a railway man with touring assignments.
I was with my uncle for class 3 and 4.
My tution teacher was Munuswamy Vadhyar.
His english tution was an asset for me even today.
Wren Grammer and Martin Composition was by-heart for me.
Viswanathappa was teaching mathematics in my tution.
Tution Master was working in the Rly Time Office, Loco Works, Perambur.
My grand mother was the guardian for me.
My sister was also with me.
Manikkam was the postman who used to give me money order from my father
for our living.
Waiting for the Manikkam postman is a sight then.
Kanniah was reading in class 8 and I was in class 7.
He was having Raleigh Cycle costing Rs 75 and he used to ride and I used to go by walk.
If I touch his cycle back seat, he will say, dont touch, the cycle will be dirty.
I remember those words, his cycle for Rs 75 and my going running behind his cycle.
He had one son Deenan.
Kanniah's brother Subramaniam did not talk with his mother as his mother wanted the girl
to be married whom he did not marry.
Mother did not talk till his death.
I brought Subramaniam when she died to see her dead body.
Over today.
1st Oct 2006 Vijayadasami Day or Ahudapuja Day or Saraswathi Puja day.
Venkat at 8.51 pm
