Nurungukal contd......
One thing that still linger in me about the primary education is about my teacher Konthan Master.. He had an exclusive technique of communication. It was loud and dramatic. Each alphabet that he uttered thrust into our mind.We could visualise them very clearly. His voice was so loud that it can be heard in the neighbourhood.
In mathematics I was weak, even now it is so. Those days our strength of arithmetic's was tested by doing problems mentally. The teacher gives a simple problem and we had to find the answer , write it in the slate and keep the slate as quickly we can on the floor. Each right answer will get a chalk mark on the frame of the slate. Invariably mine used to be blank and the punishment was sure.
In 1940-50 years children were served with milk and biscuits in school. Milk powder and biscuits were received from America through a project known as Cooperative American Relief for Every where (CARE).
We used a gun metal tumbler popularly known as LOTTA. Lotta is not now in our kitchen ware. The shape of it is so cute and convenient to hold.
