Valayanchirangara - It is the Confluence of Three Major Villages Viz Vengola, Mazhuvannoor & RayamangalamIf Ernakulam derived its name from Eere Naal Kulam( Pond for a long time) , Valayanchirangara is named after a Chira ( a small natural fresh water lake) which has an 'L' shaped Bend .
Earlier the Valavu( bend) was only for the Chira (Small natural lake ). This Valavu over the years must have constantly impacted on the vertebral column of the nearby inhabitants and eventually succeeded in bending the rigid back bone so as to be in alignment with the Valavu ( Bend) of the Chira. The name of this Yahoo group is also aptly chosen and it amply portrays the genetic impact of the Valavu of the Chira.
As I have been staying out of the country for about 3 decades ,I used to get very little chance to notice this change. During my short visit in last September , I was bombarded with so many dirty information and I felt that the society is unveiling the plot of a Sordid Drama .
The Back drop is Ready ...... Read on ........
The soul of Valayanchirangara is in its "Saraswathy Kshetra" the erstwhile VHS ( Valayanchirangara High School) and now the Higher Secondary School. During the last century it used to shine like a vermillon in the up and coming suburb of Perumbavoor , but the first decade of the new century reduced it to a puss oozing scar on the hitherto immaculate face of the Hamlet ,which boasts of a checkered past and culturally developed heritage .Some time I used to wonder .....is it not the 'one-up man ship' ??? Else is it not the fake intellectual exterior of the Valayanchirangarites which is emasculating this more than a century old institution and polluting this immaculate Village
An enterprising youngster who was a sub-staff in VHS had to sacrifice his life out of fear of getting caught and punished , as he was forced to do some forgery , reliably learnt to help the daughter of his Superior ( Head Master)in getting the job confirmed .All the people alleged to be involved ,are enjoying the yummy juicy fruits of that forgery , but no one had even crocodile tears to shed, even when last rights were performed on Shyam's body . Alas ! Shame on you, my dear Revolutionaries of Valayanchirangara !!! All of You are standing naked !!! In the story only the King stood naked !!! Here all of you !!! Why all of have put banana in your mouth at the same time !!!!
Have you not heard of the recent incident !!!! Coital intersection in a the car parked in the wilderness of Kothamangalam! !! Two teachers of the VHS are said to be involved !!! One is a Nowjavan (youngster, most eligible bachelor)and the other is a married lady teacher. The management out of helplessness and as there was no other go to quench the public ire and wrath, suspended the Teachers for 1 year , it is learned !!! If the poojarees of this sacred temple committed such a vulgar crime , why did they not be given the punishment they deserve ...... Dismissal .....We all know, they did not earn their positions of Pujarees by knowing the right Mantras , but by standing first in the Secret Auction !!! Painful ..... tears in my eyes ..... it is rolling down through my cheeks ..... quantum of which is sufficient to wet my blouse and chunni ..... How can such Teachers with criminal and cheating mind guide our children to lead a meaningful life ......
In front of these criminals , former teachers are Gods .... Nothing less than Gods ......Going back to the olden golden days of Eminent teachers like RK Sir,AK Keshavapillai sir, TV Poulose Sir, Narayanan Nair Sir,Varrier Sir, Bhaskaran Nair Sir, PM Poulose Sir, VR Sir,Varkey Sir, Indiradevi Teacher ,Sreekumari Teacher ,TN Sir, Radha Teacher ( Maths), Sita Teacher, Gangadharan Sir, Sudhakaran Sir ..... I think I have to end this list here ....These Teacher Gods are towering 100 ft high ....... Me and my contemporaries were lucky to be taught by these teachers ........... The way they inspired us , the way they dedicated their life for emerging as Great Teachers .... Had they been in any other country, they would have been National Heros ..... I know RK sir would be always wondering about simplifying physics to make it palatable for his students .... AN Sir would have always wished to see his children using good English and developing good reasoning skills..... Varkey Sir would only be happy if all the students perform equally well ....... The free flow of words from the tongue of Varrier sir, ability of Bhaskaran Sir to draw parallels from the old Classics and applying in today's context ....... The grammar base laid by AK Keshava Pillai sir ........... most importantly the kind of Trigonometry that TVP sir pumped into our head ......... Oh my god .... when my children asked me as to how I am able remember and solve Trigonometric & Algebraic problems even after decades together my answer was this ..... my god/goddess like teachers ... TVP, Indira Devi P( IDP) and RADHA .Any intellectual encounter with Gangadharan Sir would have been Brain Vita for his students.
Many used to ask me as to how I learned English though hailing from an interior Village in Kerala .... my answer used to be " 3 persons in my life are responsible for developing my English language skills... AK Keshava Pillai sir & Narayanan Nair Sir and RK Sir and all of them put together is a Viswa Vidhyalaya
Oh my God .... it was a like a divine call for them or a sort of vocation .....
For today's criminals who spend their major time outside the school for collecting interest of the vatti panam ... it is not vocation but vacation ..... EESWARO RAKSHATHI'
The old adage says ....
A good teacher teaches
An excellent teacher Guides
And a Great Teacher Inspires
This inspiration ignites the human intellect ... then there is no stopping .....
Learning will go on ......
The position of today's sex workers ( Oh Shameful my dear music teacher and his married lady colleague) is much below the position of a good teacher . The greatest sin is comparing these hooligans with the Great Teacher Gods of ester-years
The act of the political leaders who helped to hush up a serious crime of adultery and scrape through, is nothing but an Atrocious/Heinous crime.
Now food for thought ..... This one case was unearthed by the police ..... How many such cases must be happening in VHS and other schools ... which are not even noticed by dear and near ...
