This is a little note about my school in Kerala. Whenever I pass through my school, I could hear the enchanting voice of ‘Jayanthi Teacher’ like a background music!. Her favourit poem was “MOHAM’ and eventually it become mine too. She was our class teacher and used to recite this poem.
Our class was quite infamous due to some of our class mate’s behaviour. Few of my class mates have been addressed with an initial of “N.P” (Naikurana Podi case Prathi) by the students and teachers. They have been caught red-handed for delivering “Naikurna podi” (Mucuna prurita) to the senior classes including Staff Room. The whole school had to close that particular day and school re-opened only after cleaning. Some of the Seniors will never forget the effect of “Mucuna Prurita” in their life!!!!
Mostly it’s hard for the teachers to properly conduct the class due to the heckles from the back bench. However, whenever ‘Jyanthi Teacher’ comes into the class, the entire class room will go silent. She was one of the most beautiful lady, we have ever seen but I always noticed ‘little sorrow’ in her eyes. When she starts reciting the poem ‘MOHAM’ our class will get into a sort of ‘settled mood”. All villains in the class room become the most peaceful folks in the class room. We were about to reach our end of the Academic year but all of sudden a new Teacher replaced our dear ‘Jayanthi” teacher. We later came to know that she was in hospital for cancer treatment and then soon the sad news hit the School ‘Jayanthi Teacher had passed away”. It was really sad for my class and the entire school. We all visited her home to say good bye. Since that incident all the villains in my class changed evidently and they become the topers! I am sure ‘Jayanthi Teacher’ would have touched their heart like she did it in mine!!
