Cherian .... My Darling!!!!

As promised.. I am writing about my sweet cousin Cherian!! He is a gem of a person. He taught me lot of things in my life. Which in my years, I found that they were very essential for the whole humanity itself!! As he is older than me, I always had my respect towards him(Till I was 5-6 years old) . Then I realised that its not just about the age that you get maturity, Its about education and things like that!! Then I started to realise that he was starting to feel this insecurity.. I thought and thought about it, what could be the reason for this.. Then I found out that reason, it was me the reason for that!!

I thought and wondered... how can i be the reason for my sweet bro's insecurity??? This story happened when we were in 3rd standard in Don Bosco. If you wonder why I am writing about it now, the blog which my Bro dedicated to me "Q&A" made me to remember about this incident. The reason why he was feeling insecure was that , I was scoring 100 out of 100 in almost all the subjects, but poor him was finding it very difficult to even pass the exams!! I tried to advice him and help him to learn like the way I study, but as he was elder than me , he had that superiority complex and he will hit me and run away when I will be sitting down and doing my daily home work! This trend continued till we were in 12th!!

But what to do, he was my bro and I had to do something to make him happy. I had a wish that atleast one exam my bro should score more than me.... And I wanted it to be an exam were all will know that he scored than me.. Hence the bar code tampering episode, which he mentioned in his blog happened!! I still didnt tell him about this.. I thought why to tell it to all and make his feel sad!! But still as he reminded me of our old school days, I thought I should write it..

Hey Bro... U remember that good old days which we used to have in school!! As you never used to do homeworks, u were always out of the class!! But you used to go to Leo's bakery without anyone seeing and buy me Beef puffs!! I can never forget those wonderful puffs!! There were days when I come to school, go to church and pray that "God , please make Lonappan master to send cherry out today also!". Even though I didnt pray, he used to still go out and buy me puffs as he was an "OUTSTANDING" student!!

You are a wonderful man Bro.. I know that everyone in IJK now know about the bar code tampering incident, and now in Blogg also.. I am loving it da Cherry!!

I am expecting a quick response for this :)

Cheers

My Thiruonam....

My Thiruonam!!!

I was waiting for an auspicious day to start my blog! And can it be a better day than Onam.. I don’t think so. So let this be the start of my official blogging!! Please wish me luck. Thank you..
The story starts one day before Thiruonam : I came running from college the day before Onam (Uthradam) hoping to see all the movies and a delicious lunch. Came home and messaged my cousin if he is joining me for lunch. He happily obliged and I was waiting watching tv dreaming about my Onam special lunch and the dessert after that. There were two very very good movies in tv , Malayalam dubbing of Dasavatharam and a movie by name Malabar wedding! A gift of the cable tv network to me! I was watching the movies in the hope that my cousin cherian will call me and me, him and our friend Jose can go for lunch. I kept waiting waiting and the call never came. The hunger in me started to call loudly and I phoned Cherian to see if he still remembers about the lunch. He asks me to come to Kairali Resturant by 3.30 pm and I went there. We were having heated discussions about what to eat and rounded at chor (Rice) which I was dreaming from 12 o clock and Fish fry, we asked the waiter for what all fishes were there and he said karimeen, mathi, ayala, neyimeen !! Each one ordered one unique fish and rice. And as per my luck goes there was no chor and only fish!! I was trying to tell my hunger that it can be expected as there was Chatan (A unique form of bad luck which is only seen in the central part of Kerala) Cherian was with me and had to eat Porotta and egg!! I was reasonably happy as the bill was paid by Jose!

D – day Onam : I took a leave from college to watch all the movies and enjoy the day. I woke up at 8.30 and me and my roommate Kiran were having heated discussions about were to put the pookalam! The discussion went on and on and Kiran went to his aunt’s house for Celebrating Onam. I was teasing him that he will miss the part of the movie as he will have to travel for one hour. As soon as he went out, the power also went out!! I sat thinking of all my luck and started calling people to wish them. Lot of my friends were very amused to get a call from me as It was for the last Onam which I called them the last time. But I felt very happy about the power cut as I could talk to lot of my friends. I waited waited and the current came after 2 hours and I was able to see the climax scene and the names of the crew of the movie!! I was not feeling to have Onasadya as I had a heavy breakfast. By 2 I remembered that I had kept some cloths for soaking yesterday afternoon and I washed them and went up to hang then for drying. As soon as I came back to the room and turned on the tv, I heard a sound and opened the door to see that it was pouring outside. I again smiled and slowly went up to get the cloths, I could see the cloths also smiling at me (Inspired by the great movie “Jaane Tu” I guess) !! And as soon as I came in again the power also went. I again started to smile and sat down thinking what to do! I got this idea of writing a blog as I was very inspired about the fact that my cousin Cherian has started to write them recently. And also all great people have started to write blogs and its a status symbol also!! Also I can add this to my hobbies in my resume. I started to write this blog in MS word and then to copy it to blogspot. Current came agonisingly close two times and shaded away. But I should admit that the current has come now and I can post it to blog spot and enjoy the movies. Hopefully my remaining 9 hours of this thiruonam will be better and I wont have to write a blog, My Thiruonam continued...
I have learned two morals of the story today:
1. Don’t bunk classes.
2. Wash the cloths one hour after they are kept for soaking.
