Sizzling Razzmatazz!!!!!-2

Hey! Dears -inspired and extremely touched by all of those overwhelming responses that you'll gave me for my 're-entry blog'-Sizzling Razzmatazz!!!!! - Blogs - IndusLadies-here's the sequel to the same..hope you'll would enjoy it as you'll had of the earlier one


‘Imagine my first day me being handed over a memo by the Director.’:spin

The very next week I DID receive my first ‘Appreciation Letter’…...:clap


*There was this Inter-School Elocution Contest for the children. Though the charge was given to a Senior English teacher I too was asked to assist her by organizing the children to assemble at the right time for practice..take drafts of the speeches..go to the Principal’s office to get his instructions if any;-


The topic was ‘My Role-Model’. Different personalities right from Swami Vivekananda to Sir.Radhakrishnan..Beethoven to Michael Jackson..Mother Theresa to M.S.Subbulakshmi..Lokmanya Tilak to Subramanya Bharathiyar..were all under scrutiny by the Principal.


*All said and done every single School to compete would surely have taken over and over again such of the great personalities..and when our children would go on stage, it would appear the same clichéd one with nothing unique!!


*This, I expressed to the Principal and told him that who else could be a better model to a child, rather than his/her Mother?!?!


He too seemed to be convinced and out of the two entrants asked me to take one child and train him on this theme, while my colleague would train her student with the script of Vivekananda.;


*Luckily, my student was a ‘first-timer’-which made it all the more possible for me to mould her diction and modulation. Moreover I could easily gain access to the hostel or even take the child to my room-SHE being a girl-student.{Lady-Teachers-unless they were mentors-could not go to the boy’s hostel}


Radha was from Andaman..a very sweet-looking child..am sure if any Cine-Director would have spotted her, she would have been made a heroine!!!Whoever says Beauty cannot gel with Humility must come and take a look at my gal-such was her commendable attitude!


*She mastered the script just in a matter of two days; I now had to work upon some improvisations in her body-language, expression and also her confidence levels!


*All set to go zoom past ..yes! the d-day had arrived; the previous night I had got a call from Radha’s mom who too was a teacher..she was too excited for her daughter:-”I consider Radha half-won mam because the ‘Object’ of her speech is someone whom she loves dearly..and am sure..this would make her perform better.. Yesterday when she spoke to me –{every child gets to speak to either the parent/guardian twice a week from our exclusive phone-booth for ISD and Local Calls} she had told a lot about the toil you have been putting in for the same..my wishes to both of you mam.”


**There were 27 Schools in all that had geared up for the competiton:
The ‘Host-School’ was yet another reputed School in Chennai. Moreover, almost all the children seemed to have prepared well and I could literally sense, Radha having a swarm of butterflies in her stomach!!!


*‘The Person who gave me her blood and flesh,

*One Person in the whole world who knows me the best,

*The Person who does not allow any harm come near me,

*That Soul who cares for me, nourishes me and protects me all my life!!!!!

*She is none other than my Mother who is definitely my role-model whom I will look upon at all times.

*Not just as a MOTHER, but also as a TEACHER….SHE has taught me the values of goodness and kindness..
So, why should I look upon somebody else, when I have a Role-Model who lives her life before me?!

Thank You, Thank You all’.

The moment Radha had just done the speech with those last few lines..delivered with a lot of Emotional Intensity..there was a loud applause from everyone in the audience, who gave Radha a standing ovation!
So…. that was the story behind ‘my memo …superseded by an appreciation letter’ straight from the Director’s desk!

*Thank You, Thank You Radha!! Now don’t ask me how me and my gal, who won the first prize, went surreptitiously to the nearby Ice-cream parlour..and had treated ourselves, to some ‘Wonderful dollops of Bliss!!!!-Saras.
