CHILD HOOD

I don't know how to start it .Because I am not a writer .But one thing is sure ,childhood days are the best days in our life .Because during childhood we are so innocent .Our mind will be as clear as spring water .
I was born in a traditional nair family(Hindu) in Ambalapuzha ,Alleppey(known as Venice of the east ),Kerala.A place of scenic beauty with canals,backwater,paddy fields .My father was a commercial tax officer .And my mom, a traditional house wife.And the most interesting and important thing is that ,am the only son of my parents.I was a part of a joint family system.My uncle(fathers brother)was my hero in my childhood.I still remember those days ..He was the one who took me to my nursery in his bicycle.And he was the one who taught me swimming .He always prepared fish curry and fish fry for me.The good old days .It just went away .I really miss those days .I had many friends in my childhood(now i dont have many ).The friends with whom i fought ,i played ..its really nostalgic..I still remember their names-Aysha Ashraf,Aysha Jahan,Kannan,Aleena,Arun,Nandu,Jibin,Subhash,Nitish,Aswathy.s.Babu,Aarya,Gokul,Hima,Vidya,Amal,Neethu,Sandhu,Darshan,Gopi,Rohith,Rahul,vinayan,nikhil g,Nikhil jith..forgive me if i missed any one ..
the list goes on like that ..These are my school mates .Also i had some friends around my house .Most of them were girls...Haha .We used to play a lot ..Now those girls are married ..Goshh the days went like that ..
MY FIRST LOVE
Here comes the most interesting part of may child hood .I still remember ,it was during my third standard i met that girl ..Readers please don't get excited ..hehe.Her name is RESHMA. She was sitting near to me .She was too much friendly with me..I was interested in Sketching and it was my hobby.Even she was also interested in the same. Years passed by ...Gradually as time passed we stopped speaking to each other .I was friendly with all other girls in my class.But not with RESHMA..I don't know why I did like that .It was in seventh standard that we spoke each other after a long time ,but that too not for a good cause..She gave some funny comments on me in front of the whole class .(i think she called me Maddy ...).I was really angry at that time & I just went and slapped her on her face..the first and the last time i slapped a girl ,that too in front of the whole class..She was totally shocked .Even i felt very bad.I was little afraid because i will be punished if she give a complaint against me to our class teacher.the matter came in front of my class teacher (Rekha mam).She was angry on me.She asked to me "Ananthu!! Why did you slapped her"?? I replied,"Miss...miss I..I No i am innocent ..I didn't slapped any one"!!Dont lie Ananthu she replied again..Suddenly She asked to my class mates "Did any one saw Ananthu slapping RESHMA"??I was really out of my mind .But they said "no we didn't" .
Oh my god thank you ....my mind said ..the whole class was supporting me .I felt that i am something .Mam told RESHMA to say sorry and she did the same..I looked her eyes at that time .Tears were flowing out like a fountain ..My mind got disturbed by that ..But as the time passed away the matter also got buried ..After that i got many calls in my land line .But when i attend the call there was no response from the other side .I was totally confused .So after this incident caller-Id was installed in my house (so that we can identify the number from which the call comes)One day i got a call in the afternoon .It was a holiday .I said"hello ...hello..who is dis..hello " no response from the other side But after some times i got a reply .."its ROSE"...
Rose ..who the hell is that I thought in my mind .suddenly she disconnected the call.After that i got the number from the caller id .So i started searching for the address for this number from the telephone directory................huh it was really a hectic job to find the address from the directory with the help of a number ..At last i found the Address...OHhhhhh my god it was RESHMA..
I told this things to my friends ..After that they started teasing me with the name ROSE.It was Sheena one of my best friend in my class who teased me the maximum ..I was not so serious about such things ..The things went very smoothly ....But our relation was also growing in between .Even though we didn't speak ed each other ..we were knowing how close our mind were.
But now i realise that it was just an attraction(for me ),not love .As the time passed i slowly started enjoying the relation with her ..I still remember the School Anniversary Function of my school when i was in 8th standard.I was the part of a drama called Tom sawyer and i was playing the lead role as tom Sawyer.She was also participating in a dance program.I met her in the make up room .I told her that " RESHMA hey RESHMA my drama is there .please stay back and watch my drama.She smiled at me .I was feeling like being in heaven ,when she smiled..The best memories of my life ..
We were in ninth standard when she left our school .She went with her father (he was in Saudi Arabia ).I still remember the day on which she left the school ..My friends asked me to tell her that i love her ..but i refused ..i dont know why i did like that .but my friends forced me to write a letter to her and i wrote a letter at last.It was not a letter It was just the words which came in to my mind "LOVE IS THE SPONTANEOUS OVERFLOW OF POWERFUL EMOTIONS" TO ROSE WITH LOVE ANANTHU".But theses words are not mine.This was said by some poet and it was regarding poetry..i dont remember that much ..she left the class room with tears ...MY LOST LOVE....
