Memoirs of Christ Nagar - II

Hello all,
Nice to know that many of you are interested to go back by 19 years
and refresh your memories.
Vinay, it is not that the rest of the classes can't be remembered of
(expect later,ie, after 5th std). But,it is that I do not know much
about the 5A,B,C,E batches (Sorry to those in non 5D batches)
Hope it would be nice to think of some of the teachers and what they
taught in 5D, before going on to the events. In the last session, I
missed out to mention Mr.CS Paramanandan Sir (Music).


Madhu Sir : He taught English for us.
Guided English - Remember the first chapter on the tracherous man
and Ram. He taught us parts of various famous writings like the
Counte of Monte Christo, the story of the great fire in the forest,
and many others.
Remember how he taught English grammer, and give exercises for
us.Also, the English composition book, Cursive writing book.
Remember the second paper book,'Robinson Crusoe'. This was the
adventurous story of a person who went throughout the world in boats
and canoes, caught up by pirates, escaped ultimately and ends in
rapture.

Harindran Nair Sir : He taught Malayalam for us.
Malayalam I text book - Remember the first chapter (Keralam). How
he sang in the class the first poem (tr to remember that sweet tune).
Parinu paribusha charthidum,
Bharatathinde chitrakam,
Keralam vilangunnu komalam,
Keravrikshaka sangulam ....
This rings in my heart when I am away from Kerala.
There were 25 chapters of which around 15 - 20 were taught. Also
remember worthwhile chapters like Kuyilum Minnaminungum (4th),
Kolumbante Nattil (17), Kaliyamardhanam (25), Thazhmathanabhyunnathi
(6), Asian Games (5), Thiruvathazham (14), Akshayapatram (19) etc
Remember the II paper text with 10 chapters (Dasapushpangal).The
story of the rakshasan, Kabuliwallah, Abhimanyu, Balikeramala and so
on.
None would have forgotten the day when sir took class on
Dooradarshan (15) with all students in the class standing (due to
making noise), and writing notes standing.
I also can't forget him pinching in the arms, and the erythema (for
next one day) and healing following that taking around 3 days.

Sukumaran Sir:
Feel nostalgic !!! or getting bored ????
Others please make your additions to this.
Shall continue in next session.
Yours sincerely,
Sundar Singh
