Hi Buddies, I am back. How are you all ?

On the first Book Out day, I including my friends felt very happy, as we were allowed to go out after a period of three months. Normally for such a long period, we never had restrictions, as we came from the Civil Life. It was really a different experience to have restrictions and it was new thing as well for us . We all had restrictions during the time of examinations at home (To be frank, even during exams, I did not have any restrictions).

During my Training period, we wore Khaki Shirt and Pant and we were from different Squadrons. In order to differentiate, we were given different Badges and with the colour and the number in the Badges, one could easily differentiate and make out about Squadron. Since we were in the Basic Phase, our Number was 1 and the colour of the cloth was White like my Manasu.

My cousin's late Husband, Dr Dhandayutham (a student of Mu Va) was a 'Sahitya Academy Award Winner of 1975'. He was a HOD - Tamil in Kulalampur University (Malaysia). In order to extend support, I did listen to my family members and visited them. So, even now I don't have any idea at all about Chennai. She was staying at Besant Nagar and just before Auto Shankar's Story came to notice, her house was purchased.

During Week Ends, I used to go there in the morning and did spend my time till evening and used to be back the Camp. She has three children namely Arun, Arthi and Ilango and ofcourse, they are all married now (Ah, Aah, E - I mean in Tamil). Dr Dhandayutham wanted to settle in Chennai and he was about to take over the school named 'The School', of TVS Group. But before that could happen, he left this World.

When I was on my way to Besant Nagar in a bus, a passenger was asking for a Bus Ticket from me, as I was in Khaki. On the road, enroute my Cousin's house, a Mum threatened by showing me to her kid saying that if he did not stop weeping, she would complain to me so that I would put the kid into the Jail. It was really a different experience to see the people with such remarks. Ellaam en neram and enna seiya ?!?

It was a great change to have homely food after three months at my Cousin's House though we did have food from 'A Home Away from Home'. Ofcourse, I used to finish my B'Fast at Mess and the Lunch and at times the dinner also at my Cousin's House. The life was going on without much of the changes in Chennai. It was really a different experience to stay away from home and mingle with many, having had no such previous experiences.

C U Soon......... May God Bless.
