Her name is S.Thilakawathy, small in size..skinny...fairer than me...with short hair. I met her in my primary school (Vivekananda, PJ) when I was studying standard one. We were in the same class every year then. She will be the class monitor every year and I'll be her assistant..I used to sit beside her...yes, only beside her. I never let anybody sit beside her or get closer to her:) Coz she is my BEST FRIEND u know...and I'm very possessive in her matter. We used to go everywhere together, till most of our teacher knew about us. She became my best friend till we finish our standard 6. After that we lost our contacts as we move on to different secondary schools. Yeah, I know this happens to many. Then, I met her back when I was studying Form 3. We studied tuition together in SMC, Vivekananda (Brickfields). Her look was never changed. That was the last time I met her in 1996.
But today after 15 years, I called and talked to her. Thank to Caron, my niece who is studying in Vivekananda PJ, helped me pass the letter that I wrote to her teacher Miss Thilakawathy. Yup, I found Thilaka...:)) When talking to Caron, I got to know that Thilaka working as teacher in the same school that we studied.
Was soooo.. excited when talking to her through phone. She said she was busy when Caron passed the letter and thought it was from a student, since it was "Report Card Day" in her school today. Then when she opened the letter she knew it was from me. She mentioned me, my Tamizh hand writing never changed yet. Wow...! I'm so touched. She still remember my handwriting..!!! God, that is so impressive...:) We shared some left out stories about what happened in between our BIG gap.
I requested her to sign up in Facebook. But she said "I'm not interested in that "chapter" yet and laughed. And then we talked about our future for a while. Then planned to have a gathering too. Hoping to meet her soon and other friends as well...:) I am still wondering how beautiful is she right now..:)
This is our 3rd standard class photo. She is the one wearing green color tie, sitting first row just beside the teacher. I am in the photo too, but not beside her just a bit further in the same row.
