Remembrance

RAVIN'S INK PROMPT " about insignificant thing you only "get" and now you remember by seeing it.

This is a bit of quite personal (liking hosting the past memory), so if you don't want to read it means please skip and have fun. This is about back in my school days, and the narration of revisiting those days will give you some reflection, but no promises that it will entertain you .😅 OK here, hear my ramblings..

I studied in a very small school which consists of totally 300 plus students from kindergarten to higher secondary. I was studying eleventh at that time. In my class there fourteen students. I steated at second bench or rather last bench 😅 because there was only four girls in the class and with two in each bench and I was seating at second bench. The day just began. Everyone got seated at respective seats. The period was chemistry peroid. Then, my chemistry teacher pointed at me and asked me to read the lessons. I was shell shocked. Just a girl with mere knowledge and reading infront of class was not her list, she didn't know anything but the Sir seemed didn't know about my nothingness. I regain myself and in standing posture with head down, finding my voice and started to read. I didn't know the spell and pronociation of many words. I struggled hard. But sir was not even noticing it (OK he pretending like am giving my preach in church) and started taking lessons with every paragraph I read. The class over and after sir went off , everyone in the class buzzed off laughing. This left me into near tears. I was joked and I became a joke. It' embarrassed me in all extent. But, life just threw more at my face from the pockets.
The next day began and he pointed me and asked me to read from where the lessons left yesterday. Till the peroid over, I was doing the same thing. I was asked to read every paragraph, stops me when I struggled to pronounce difficult words and respond it how to pronounce and continued his teaching. This happened everyday of eleventh chemistry class. I tried to ignore my fears and quite done reading infront of class everyday. Being navie at sports I was left at class alone my whole class went to other school for sports events. Then again chemistry sir appeared and I was asked to help in making or preparing complete laboratory solutions before exam by diluting the concentrated solutions. Naming the bottles and sorting and keeping it. It took whole of two days whereas others enjoying their exposure of sports talent and there I was preparing solutions. 😅
I scored well after higher secondary in chemistry and chooen chemistry in graduate. I left it because of one teacher harrashed me badly. That time my fears overtook my wishes and dreams. I left the within two months and joined engineering. I passed out. I wrote the entrance exam and scored well. I went counsellings and there again, the board displayed college and subject list. There was "Biochemistry " in masters was also displayed. Opportunity didn't knock me once but twice. But being again fearful and homesick bunny , I choosen the subject not related to chemistry but the college located cated in my city and hopped in it and called' it as a home '.

Little did I know, my old self " that there is something more than actually trying and wishing." That is to confront your own fears.It's been years after years.

Now, I am living with my human chemistry and results of those chemistry (my kids😅). Unfolding the past is just a history, so live in this unpredictable moment which is life's mystery.
Studying again to go in chemistry line.
Journey is not a stop, it is what keeps you going.

Jeyanthi,
It is impossible to steal what is freely given...
Because English is not your first language, you have developed a beautiful, poignant voice that I enjoy very much. I understood everything you said, and your style is delightful.
Your story is touching and speaks to a serious problem we as the human race have never been able to address with any success, and that is the suppression of women by men. I am proud you are in our group because you are a persistent warrior to help fix us all.

A bitter sweet feeling from the past. I am sure the 11the grade Jeyanthi must have felt embarrassed on being treated like so by an adult by the very who was supposed to teach us to be better…how we need to address such ill educated person as our teacher. But as I proceed to read further I revel thinking of the masters degree holder Jeyanthi. Mastery over her fears and master in her subject. How your children will enjoy your chemistry of love and strength dear. I enjoyed reading and feeling the highs and lows of your deep writing and you kept us readers with you every step of your journey to triumph. You have the ability to have a humorous take on serious topics and I love that , enjoy my time with your style of writing, very nice dear.. Happy Diwali Jeyanthi!
