Katradhu Vaan Alavu - 11

Hi Buddies, I am back again (ofcourse after a short while)
Before entering into the Episode, something for you all :-

Tooth Brushes and Wives are not to be shared with any one - Italian Saying.

Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.

Wife is nothing but knife so be careful.

Will you please answer ?

1. If you go to a Parlour and you get a ice chilled cool drinks and if you want to bring the same to the drinkable chillness - what will you do ? (Pl don't say that you would make use of the Stove).

2. If you go by a train and the climate happened to be very chill and you get a side berth and in the absence of the blankets what would you do ? (Pl don't say that you would lift some one else's blanket ?)

3. If you get a Degree Coffee and you are in a hurry to have it early with lesser heat and should be within no time, what would you do ? (Pl don't say that you would forgo the Coffee).
Nuv u may go ahead with the Episode.

The days were moving on slowly without much of the changes. I was a bit improving in my Studies (Examination time la Nallaa Padikkira Payyan Pakkathil vutkaarndhaal - Improve aaga maatenaa enna ?!). The marks were not that bad. There was a slight improvement.

During the subsequent book outs, apart from going to the Cousin's House, I thought of going to other places as well. I along with my friends went to Ashta Lakshmi Temple, Thiruthani Murugan Temple, Maangaadu Amman Temple, Golden Beach (we had a concession in the entry fee as well), Besant Nagar Beach, Marina Beach. Once on our way back from the Marina Beach, the bus was over crowded and I could get a place at the last seat window side. A cute figure was ready to compromise and sit with my friend. I told her that he would stand. My friend was looking at me with Netrikan. I told Netrikan thirapinum cutie udan vutkaarvadhu thappu (adhu appa - ippa adhellam onnum illa - right ?). My friend was really frustrated.

In one of my trips when I was alone, I just handed the money for a ticket for my back to Tambaram Base. In those days, when you approach Tambaram from the City, the Sky scrappers used to be decreasing and on the contrary the Sky scrappers were increasing and due to which there was an Alarm in my Brain. I could make out that I was going towards the city rather than coming to Tambaram which is situated in the outskirts. That time the following incidence came to my mind, ofcourse not at all worried.

When I was in my Plus One, a friend of mine whenever and wherever he called, I accompanied. Only once, when I called he did not. I was realling waiting for an opportunity. He is from my native village. We used to go in the same bus and come back in the same bus. Our village has four stoppings and we both can use any of the two neighbouring stoppings cos the stoppings are of equal distance from both of our houses. With his refusal, slowly I was keeping a distance. Very soon, on one of the fine evening, I could see him sitting at the front of the bus. As it is, I was in no mood to talk and mingle with him, I preferred to sat at the back. The bus stop came, the gentleman did not get down, why cos, he was sleeping. Normally I used to get down at the first stopping. But in order to confirm whether he himself or with the help of others got down at the next stopping, I might or might not know. Hence, I got down at the second stopping. I waited for the bus to move, even then this so called friend did not get down. I heaved a great sigh of relief. I came to know on the next day from him that he got down at the third stopping which is almost half a Kilo Metre away and ofcourse this was not sufficient. What to do, his fate was good and mine was not that good ?!?.

Before the start of the Book outs, the trainees could invite their guests to the Main Guard Room at the entrance of the Camp which is almost 2 1/2 Km away from our Billets. They used to bring the favourites of the trainees ranging from Idlis, Dosas, Upmas, Snacks, Savouries and sweets.

Just like this our Six and half months training went off quickly. For a Defence Person, when he travels on leave, once in a year he can avail Free Railway Warrant (FRW). It shall be issued from the duty station to his nearest Railway station. For me the nearest Rly Stn is 65 Kms away. Be it Salem, Erode, Karur (Naatamai Aiya Avargal Vooru, right ?!), Trichy. For me the best one was Salem, as it was well connected with the North due the presence of Broad Gauge (BG). Hence, I opted for Salem. The FRW was issued to us for doing reservation in advance and we did in one of the Book Outs. If the FRW was availed, one can make use of the Concession Vouchers (CVs) and 50% would be borne by the Indian Railways (IR).

C U Soon......

May God Bless.
