Before 10 th


Oru Naal bayangarama Idi Minnaloda Mazhai Paeiyuthu......... Oru Amma Prasava vallilla thudikuraanga........ Avangalukku Help panna yaarumae varala...... Avangala Oora vittu othuki vachi irukaanga...... Mazhai Athigama paeiyuthu.... Apa thideernu "Ammaaaaaaaa" nu oru satham..... Kuzhanthai Piranthu vittathu... Athu thaan naan....

Ipudi ellam onnum Over build up illa.......

saathaaranama, Veetla than Piranthaen...... 13 th May 1986 morning 2.30 A.M....




Amma:

Parukkal Graamam... Oor thalaivar com Kallukadai viyaabaari "Saaminatha mudaliyar" n Magal.... 1 annan , 2 thambi, 1 thangachi.........

Appa:

Saithaapetai town... Mudaliyar Sangam Saeyalaalar " Ekaambaram Mudaliyar"n magan..... 3 thambi , 1 thangachi.......

Enga Thaathaakal iruvarum Societiku pothumaana damage ah Already pannitaanga illa..

Thatha konjam Drunken type... Athuvum illama Sontha banthakal meethu athigam Naatam.. So, Saidapet la ellarum oru groupa than vazhthaanga.. Only income is from my Thatha..
Side business ah, Thari(Weeving).. Job of my dad is to delever the Completed Dhotis to Particular Agent..He will give some amount..What my Father will do is, " He will take 10 % of the Amount and give the rest to My thatha.", My thatha too know it..

After marriage , My Mom too added to that Gang.. But Due to some internal Politics of my Father's Athai, Both my mom and Dad came out from That house...

They Stayed in a Small Hut with 3 side walls... One side is damaged because of rain.. many multi personalities(Insects) will come inside the house via that way....
Some times Snakes too will come.. I myself had seen it...
My mother asked his elder brother to give them Land to Stay in Parukkal Graamam. But that selfish Fellow, eventhough own a lot of Lands, showed a land which is faraway from the village, where no one will come...

Then My Mother planned to Shift the residence from Parukkal Graamam to Melmaruvathur.. Note that she didnt have a single rupee in hand.. Her younger brother owns a hotel there. My Father and My mother joined as employees in that hotel.. My mother said " Naan thaan Kazhta paduraen..unga Sontha machaan kadaila maanam poga Koodaathu"... So my father kept a Small Stall infront of my uncles Hotel..

Kadai saamaan kalai Store panna , Bunk(Poti kadai Box) Thaevai patuthu... so with Some amount in hand he went to Acharapakkam to by it.. The Fact here is My elder uncle(That Land Lord Villan)owns a Bunk ... He is standing Opposite to the Road and sent his servent alone to sell the Bunk.. My mom Standing along with my brother and myself (in her Hip) in Hot sun.. "Veetuku Vaayaama" nu oru vaarthaiku kooda Yen uncle koopidalai..

Appa than yenga amma Mudiveduthaanga, " Dai, Enga Kitta Kaasu illainu thaanae engala mathikala , innimae paaruda " nu sollitu azhuthu kittae veedu(MMR) vanthu saernthaanga.. Itha en Chinna Uncle kitta Sonnanga .. Avaru " Vidu Akka, Avan Kidakiraan"...

Again the Turning Point.....

Once again a Blow to my Parents... My uncle Got married(Second Wife) ... She asked my uncle to Give the Space infront of hotel to her brother to keep a Stall... Athanaala,
Enga appa kitta iruntha Stall Area Out.... Engala Antha Area vitu thurathittanaga..

Enga Paati,( Amma voda Amma), Came along with us...



Now Look the situation.......

  1. No House to Stay...
  2. No money to Start any Business..
  3. No Relatves to care us...It was like a Situation staying in lone island...
Once again a Turning point in Positive Direction.....

My mom went to Adigalar Father... " That time this temple was popular but not upto the mark. Adigalar Father Gave 500 rs to my mother and asked her to start a Tea Stall... My mom buyed a Bench and Stove + one milk Vessel + one Dozen Glasses ..

Avolo thaan investment...


First A.Ravichandran Sir(Now Mailam College Principal) , That time Worked as Asst.prof Civil Department.. Changed his Account from my uncles Machan Stall to our Stall.. He Drank One Cup of Coffee and Gave 50 rs.. That time 50 rs is a Huge amount..

Followed him, All Students From my Uncle Hotel Shifted their account to our stall.. Each Gave whatever amount they had...

One month past... There is only one tea stall in mmr .. That is ours.. All Temple Pilgrims will come and drink tea in our shop alone..

There is a Porampoku land ( Waste Land) in SVS nager..( It is 10 feet left to our current palace).
We built a small hut there with red soil... The roof is made of Cocanut tree Branches..

Now Start Annamalai (Vetri Nichaiyam Song)....

Rainy Season:

That Hut will Loose his Walls whenever rainy season comes.. Rain Water will come inside the Hut.. Even Snakes... since no other Houses in SVS Nager at that time.. See We are the pioneer here..

And after a Year, All College Students asked My parents to Start a Hotel.. As per their Request my mom started a Mess(Mini Hotel with Account System).. A mass of 80 students joined ... Note that all Students had their previous accounts in My Uncle Hotel..So my Uncle went to Acharapakkam and Kept a hotel there... So the only vegetarian hotel before 19 years in MMR is ours...

Over...........................................................................................................

Now, Let me Start my Story.....

My Brother Joined UKG(DOB 1984) and Myself(DOB 1986) in LKG an St.Josephs Matriculation School..(That time our school has no Higher Secondary Standards)..

One Year of Tougher LKG Studies Over... That time i thought that " Appada! Padipu ellam Mudichutom.. Inimae Work thaan nu".. Appavae naangallelam Maedaavinga>..

LKG Result came in post Card...
Your Son Sankar is promoted to UKG... I Enjoyed a lot..

Another Post Card also Came...
" Your Son Kumar is Double Promoted to Second Standard"... En idayathil oru Idi... Sanniyan Avanuku mattum Yavan Double promotion potathu.....Actually i thought that After UKG I too will be Double Promoted..But Vedi kunda Vachutaanunga..

Yenaku therinju oru 8 vayasu yenakku irukum.... Appa thaan Muthal muthala naan Sampaathika Aarambichaen... Koviluku Maalai poda varuvaanga... Sema Crowd ah irukum..Cue la thaan nirpaanaga...

Apa rasna packet one rupee than,... But he Sold it to 1.25 rs... En vaelai ennana, Rasna packets a Kadaila irunthu vaangitu vanthu, enga annan irukira idathuku vanthu kudukanum.. He will be Some where at the end of a Lenghty cue.. That cue will extend upto 2 km.... If more packets are in my hand means , i too will take some packets to sell it in the opposite direction of my brother.. Finally we will get around 30 rs as gain per day... But we will give it to my mother.. Because antha Amounta vachu enna panrathunu theriyaathu...
