Jyothi Vidyalaya High School

This is where my journey called education began. Though I had not aligned this juncture of my life with the complete episode (now what is that - who knows) it was where i made many friends and was taught by many good teachers. Most of them were very nice excepting a few - who did not focus on developing the child but on being perfect on lecturing.

Initially, school was just a km from home. Later it was 3 kms and I had to ride my bicycle.

I am happy i am in touch with few of my friends from school through a Yahoo group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tenthh96

I had joined a computer course in my 9th class. With few of my friends we had participated in a science exhibition - "Robo Fire Extinguisher." I was the captain of our cricket team. Was the row leader and the class monitor few times. I belonged to the Granite group.

BHEL - Part 01

Adventures in my life started at the township of Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) in Rama Chandra Puram, Hyderabad.

It was a heaven - especially having had lived in 9 different places after that. Everyone is good to you there. It was a self sustained towship with park, stadium and community center. It was more than what any one could ask for.

It is the place where I first went to jog with my best friend, Ravi Kanth. We went to Zilla Parishad School every day in the morning at 6 am. Most of the time we used to play than Jog.


He taught me how to ride a bi-cycle at the same school ground - Zilla Parishad. This school was just 100 meters from my home. 425-A was the number of my home. It had a mango tree on which i used to climb very often and eat mangoes sitting on one of it's branches. We had a tiny garden. We used to take turns in watering those plants - very few of them.
