Today was real fun at my workplace. We had a great team building activities along with some interesting presentations. I kind of had my share of fun. It was more based on understanding each other and all that sorts of stuff. We were given ten questions and given just about five minutes to complete them. So I thought let me narrate one embarrassing childhood incident which occurred when I was in my LKG (yeah! I have a long memory).
I have studied in n number of institutions and the first was none other than Velankanni School in TNagar. I used to get picked up and dropped by the school bus. Even though this was my first year in school I never used to be adamant to go to school. Not at least like the other kids who used to yell, scream, cry, jump, run, etc.etc... for getting to school. Some even cried while they came back from school as soon as they saw their mom's. Some cried till they had a sight of the teacher. Most of my teachers were anglo's & dress up accordingly and probably would be my grand mom’s age at that point of time. Since my mom worked it was my grand mom who took care of me. Picking me up from the bus, then horlicks, stories & finally to put me to sleep. This is the time of my life when I was like four or five years old.
One such day was this. Least I expected this would occur. Whole of my family had arrived at my place when I had gone to school, obviously without my knowledge. My grandparents (dad & mom's), aunts, uncles, cousins & my great grandma, who I really miss, wanted to see me in my school uniform it seems, so were seated at the entrance of my apartment. The apartment was just in the main road in mambalam and my bus used to stop at the main road for us to get down. That particular day I very unusual for me infact the only time I remember in my childhood days I peed in my pants (come on I was only 4!). So my aayama removed my uniform shorts & washed it (so nice of her). Since it was really wet she made me sit without my shorts & jocks in the bus (still curse her for that). I somehow covered my assets while coming in the bus. Least I expected my whole family to be standing in front of the gate to receive me. I got down of the bus to see the excitement of the folks. I was too embarrassed & ran like Ben Johnson to my house, nude!
Still when my family members get together this incident is spoken about. I just can't forget the expressions on my great grandma’s face when she saw me like that!
