2. The "ROWDY" Class...
CAST: ujwal (dada), vijju, avi, uppi, koundi, tija, sandy, ribbin, shiva, thumesh, buddi... (i am sure i missed a few)
TAGLINE: put chutney in their eyes
PLOT: We were a small group of guys always fighting with the A-section fellows in the lunch break in 2nd class. Though I don't remember much about our opponents, I can recollect a bit about those tussles. It somehow was a matter of pride for us with everyday points and yearly championship...
Our captain was Ujwal who led us from the front... "put 'chutney' in their eyes"... those were the instructions we got. Ujwal was the naughtiest guy in our class and hence the most capable leader there. I don't remember a day when we lost under him. He fixed up a kind of honour code to be followed strictly... part of it was a compulsory bubble gum in your mouth. Koundi almost always invested for most of us... he used to buy those colourful POPS.. which costed 25np each.
Our standard (mutually agreed) fighting grounds were the back gate and the area around the auditorium (which was under construction). Special matches were organised in the small pit, in the shape of a heart, to the right of the auditorium. We even had peace treaties and ceasefire when the participants were less... and all this was handled by Ujwal himself.
When Ujwal was absent, no one even dared to go any area close to those above... But, Ujwal left the school that year..
Then I voluntered to take the hot seat... in fact I had to convince each one of them telling that "I am the topper in the class, so you should follow me"... but physically I was the weakest in the group... always stood behind everyone... couldn't run fast when were being chased... in fact I got caught a few times... even before they did anything I started crying and shouting "I will tell to teacher"...much to my relief I some how convinced everyone that fighting is bad and it was over... I was the ASHOKA of B-section!!!
well those were the days...

i am quite excited about the whole thing... as a result... running ahead of schedule..

ReplyDeletei remember one day we both had games on d same period n ...we actuall ended up throwin stones at each other n....at last tat time princi VIJAYA NAIR mam came n sent us back to class......we had missed our games pd.... :-(
ReplyDeletei remember i had a fight with ujval but don know wat happend exactly.. it was in the break that he was bugging me allot then i think we had a serious fight with a steel scale in my hand.. he had this so called army behind him as support (buddi,vijju and the rest)... and i was all alone as i was new... i think it continued for few days and it ended abruptly when he left the school... and i remember he returned for his bday and gave me handful of chocolates...
ReplyDeletei don't remember a bit about Abhi's fight... for ujwal's birthday i picked up lots of chocolates and he also gave a gift to everyone.. i don't know what they call it... it has concentric circles and small balls inside... you have to get them to the centre through the gaps... i had it till i came to 10th.. then missed it while shifting to another house... :(
ReplyDeleteonly because Abhi was fighting against our batch he ended up in that A-section... hehe...
