"Thakur Villa", Memories cherised

                                                                        


                                                                       Guys, The house popularly known as "THAKUR VILLA" (Home of GOD) in that locality is not another house for a few concerned. It carries a lot of childhood memories of those who lived in that house or who used to come around to meet us from neighboring towns. Here is an abstract from a guy who was born in that house, brought up in that locality and finally settled somewhere far from that place.
                                                                        Man..... I still remember those of my start up days at an adjacent primary school "Joykumar Balika Vidyalaya".Didi, my elder sister, who was a student of that school and had already passed a few more years there, used to take me to that school along-with. We were then asked to stand in a single row in the veranda. One of the teachers then used to start a prayer and we were asked to follow her in the same tune and words with prime impetuous on pitch. For all of us, it was nothing but a shouting for few minutes as none of us on that age had any idea about all those difficult Sanskrit words.We were not even explained about what words we were supposed to utter and also in what accent at the time of prayer along-with her. Actually,once it went as a surprise for me when I was caught by a teacher for not speaking the right word during the prayer. I was spared from punishment on that occasion because of the popularity of my Didi (Elder sister) in that school. I didn't know how could she gain so much of adulation from all those teachers but at-least that came as a savour for me on that day. We were then asked to sit on a bench of height around two inch from floor and utter some numbering table along-with our class teacher.I still remember the pitch at which she (my class teacher of that 1st standard) used to shout with those numbering table. It felt like people from those neighboring houses were taking some test of her skill in arithmetic. She used to keep a glass of water in her table to take care of her extension of pitch which excelled with no bounds over a period of time.My prime duty was to keep track of the state of that glass so that it didn't get empty at any point of time during her stay in that class.
                                                                         GOD, I don't know how z she right now, if she is still alive or not, but the numbering table she taught those days keeps me stay alive and competitive even today in my Corporate world ......GOD BLESS HER.
