Crazy Memories Of JNV

I would like to share one of my experiences as a boy growing up in the residential school of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya,Panchavati,Uttara Kannada.

It was my of 4th year in JNV i.e I was in 9th standard . JNV's have a system where 33 percent of the class students be interchange with 33 percent of class student from a different JNV of different region at this grade. As such the situation , luck/unlucky me , I was among 66 percent of the people who had stayed back.

Why I feel myself luck! Because that year gave me a base for my 10th Standard.
Why unlucky ! Because I had to go through (again) all the humiliations (raging) from the seniors.

Anyways coming to the actual story which I want to narrate in here,

We had one Tuff teacher by name Janardhanan , who used to teach us Social Studies. We used to call him "Janna" (with respect) . As we kids remember, he was an extrovert. Whenever he walked, his shoes would make a distinct noise which every kid JNV was aware of. I believe the shoe sole was made wood.

We had his class (social studies class) scheduled right after tiffin (most of the days) i.e 3rd period when all MP student would be sitting in other class for there Kannada lecture and we local kids in another for our Social Studies. (similarly visa-versa during Kannada class)

At that point of time ,in our JNV we have 3 Houses (later it was divided into 4). I was in Nehru House (later Nilgiri). And as a system everyone used to shared mess duty according to rotation policy.

On one particular day, me and my Nehru house 9th class boys had this so called mess duty. As always late lattif i.e me , I was late from all the rest (reason being Mess duty). But for my surprise the punctual Janna who was always on time was not in the classroom yet.He was bit late that day (which hardly used to happen) .

I had a fibre writing pad (costing about 45Rs) gifted by my pappa. When I tapped that fibre pad it made a similar sound as that of Janna shoes. I had a long running crazy Idea about testing that sound.

What I did was this.

I tapped the writing pad which was of fibre and made a exact sound with frequency and rhythm as Janna's shoes always did and walked into the classroom and for my (no) surprise all my classmates stood up to wish me "GOOD MOrneeeee.........." and then came the scoldings...

How I Entered Navodaya Vidyalaya

It was rainy day of october of 1996.I had got the news that I was selected for the great JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA.
On that day I was in full swing.After coming to office UDC showed me my snap ,my chest got even broader.
As it was written in the letter ,that was just a confirmation day , I was asked to come after some 10 days to join the vidyalaya .I spoke to our then principal Joseph M.And gave a outh to stay in the Vidyalaya till the completion of my 12th(And I actually did that after all the odds ).

I was said that I'm a second batch student and there were already classes were going on .I was showed the classroom which was next to boys toilet (in Kumta ).

I had an information that there was a girl called Ashwini (Name changed) who was from my native and from my previous school(different section) JVD,Dandeli(I had a bit confusion in the matter,in fact lot )So I went to classroom out of curiosity to know her.


Now here comes a real embracing situation .....
Sannegouda Sir was there in the classroom and sent her after a bit of chat.
She got totally shy and I was in dilemma as to how to seduce her so that I can have some one for rest of my life in navodaya (I'm was thinking this because I was from a culture were I was made to sit in between 2 girls in my previous school , as I used to talk too much).

Now here we go ...
After bit of chat with Ashiwini, Sannegouda Sir offered me to sit in the classroom ......
What I did was walked behind her to sit along with her .
When I was about to sit,I got frightened due to the noise produced by all the people in the class.

OH MY GOD!!!!!
