MY SCHOOL LIFE - PART II

My school was one among the best in an area called Shadnagar, in Mahaboobnagar District of Andhra Pradesh. The teachers hired were good. In my last three years in school, we got the best of the teachers we ever found in school. Three teachers came from Chennai. One was Mr. Kuttappan. He taught us Social Studies. He was not I was talking about to be the best. He just used to find tactics to take money from students. Whether we were absent, or got less marks, or not say the riot learned answers, he used to charge money for everything. Along with him came to more Sirs, one Mr. Anthony and Mr. Suresh. Anthony Sir used to teach English and he was very good in his teaching. But the one who stood out was Satish Sir. He taught Mathematics. He was a very strict teacher. He made us understand and think Mathematics properly. He raised my performance in Mathematics to a considerable degree. I remember I was getting 7th or 8th or even worse in my class. But as my performance in Mathematics improved, and so did the other subjects, magically, I got the 1st rank in Unit Test-4, the last unit test in a year. The day before the report cards were given, I was told by Sathis Sir that I got the 1st rank. And just before the finals my morale was so high that I began studying with extra energy and extra confidence. Come class 10th and I was on my way of getting one of the best ranks in the city. I would also like to add some other teachers names whom I can never forget. Mr. Hanumantha Rao Sir, who was a Hindi Pandit. He liked me a lot :P. Actually he was such a person whom never would dislike. He used to help me not only in Hindi but in other subjects too. He always encouraged me and added the belief in me that I can be the best among the class. He was a true Guru. Mr. Sekhar Reddy, who used to teach us Physics, he did actually? No, he didn't. I disliked his way of teaching and interacting. So, one day I complained to our Father, that he wasn't teaching anything properly. This became a huge news in the school and I was told my Mr.Gopinath, a good friend of Sekhar Reddy Sir and our Biology teacher, that I should not have done that. Actually something about Gopinath Sir also. He was an amazing personality. He was very young and probably studying when he was teaching in our school. He carried his charisma everywhere. Anytime he used to enter in the school, which was most of the time late, not even a single student wouldn't know that he has come. He was also very encouraging. After my Class 10, he insisted me to take BiPC. But as I was more interested in Math, I took MPC. I got the 2nd rank in the city, next to Shabbir, my class-mate.
About my friends now.. they actually were with me almost all the 7 years i had been in MRSVN. I remember Pushpa George, Priyanka, Ambika Priya, Swathi, Karuna, Shiva Kumari, Ashwini, etc.. and among boys, Santosh, Shiva Kumar, Kiran, Shabbir, Appi Reddy, and so on. All are my good friends. The most closest of them were Ambika Priya, Priyanka, and Pushpa. Unfortunately I lost contact with them after 10th, but now I'm slowly regaining contact with them, thanks to cell phones and social networking sites. :)
