Kellogs Special K and Guptaji Family

          “Good Morning, Seetha”, I greeted her and entered into my cabin in a good and happy mood. From Seetha’s reaction, I can understand that she wants to know what has happened yesterday. Seetha’s place is next to my cabin and we both joined in the company and on the same date. We were close to each other than with any one in the company and almost we share everything with each other.
After a short while she entered into my cabin and asked, “You look so happy today. Any good news? Share me the reason for your happiness today”.  
I said” Thank you very much; it is because of you everything ends well”.
”Really, Then congratulation, When is your marriage date fixed” asked Seetha.
“In June”. 
”Okay. Nice to hear from you. Now I have to go to my place and we will continue in the lunch time”. She left my cabin.

          Four months before, my weight was nearly 65 kg. I never felt that I am little obese before my parents started searching alliance for me. One day my parents informed that they have seen a proposal for me. They said everything about the family and the nature of the job. My parents said the groom’s family has decided to visit our house to talk about the remaining formalities and they showed the groom photo to me. To me it was okay since my parents were very much satisfied with the proposal. Two weeks later they came to our house with their son and after talking for a while, they left the house informing that they will update about their decision later. My parents were eagerly waiting for their reply and were expecting that the reply would be positive. Two days later they called my parents and told that the bride was little obese and cancelled the proposal. My parents got disappointed. From then I started to think of reducing the weight. One day when I was talking to Seetha, I said her that I want to reduce weight, but I should not lose my energy and strength. Immediately she suggested me to have “KELLOGG’S SPECIAL  K” in the morning and night. From then on I started using Kellogg’s Special K both in the morning and at night. Slowly I reduced my weight without loss in energy and strength. After three months I lost 10 kg weight and now my BMI says that now I am slim and fit. After two months my parents got another proposal and that was confirmed yesterday and my parents are now happy. He is also a software employee.

          During the lunch time we finished lunch together. I invited Seetha for my marriage and informed her that she should attend the function without fail. Seetha Said me ”By the way I forgot to tell you one thing, tomorrow there is get together in Gupta’s house. She has invited us for the nashta.”
“Gupta Ji.?” I cried out in excitement.
Gupta Ji’s family is known for Kellogg's Corn Flakes breakfast. Her recipes are always lip-smacking and with just corn flakes she prepares more than 100 variations of breakfast.
“Join in the get together without fail.” Seetha stressed again.
“Sure I will be there tomorrow”

It has been just 3 months, that I married Raju who is a software employee. Apartment life is new to me, so I spent most of the time inside the house by watching Television and reading books. Due to these, I do not have any contact with neighbor. Raju is hard worker and sincere, yet he loved to spent 10 hours in his company and he is team leader. I never felt such loneliness before marriage.

I have two elder sisters who have settled in Chennai and both of my sisters were working employee. So their kids were left under the control of my mother. First sister have two sons and second sister has one son and a daughter. Before marriage I spent my whole time with the kids. Almost they spent most of their childhood with me, so always they like to enjoy their vacation with me. Whenever I see any children playing in the park, immediately I remember my sister’s kids. Daily in the evening they used to call me to the mobile and share their school memories with me.  I said to my husband that all my thoughts are with the kids. He convinced me that we would go to native when time permits.

One day my father called me in my mobile and informed that he would come to our apartment to invite us for first Diwali festival. In the evening, when Raju returned form office I informed him about the conversation I had with my father. As my father invited both of us, we have planned to go to native during the festival which I am eagerly waiting for it. We went for shopping and we purchased clothes, crackers and sweets for the kids. When I was talking with them they said that they will be coming to my home town three days earlier for Diwali as the school has announced 6 days holiday for Diwali. So we also planned to go to native the same day.

During my entire travel all my thoughts were around the kids and was dreaming about the time I am going to spent with them. When I reached my mother’s house, I was disappointed to hear that they would come only at night. It was after three months that I am going to see them. After some time I could hear the horn sound of the car. Yes, it was my sister’s kid. Both the sister have joined at Chennai and they came in the same car with their kids. When the kids saw me they shouted out in excitement and jumped towards me. Two hands are not enough for me to catch all my 4 kids. They shared all their memories with me and we were talking till late night and we all slept together. On the day of Diwali they wore new clothes which I specially brought for them. We all together burnt crackers, had breakfast, lunch and dinner together. The time I spent with my sisters kids gives me the real happiness. For me nothing can replace the moments I share with them. #Iamhappy

This incident happened some 4 years back when my son was in Pre K.G. Now my son is studying II std. we admitted him in the nearby school. Usually school is said to be second home, where children use to spend more time apart from home. I and my husband were working in college, so we decided to leave him were at most care will be given to kids at school. After enquiring all my friends we decided a school for him. The first day when I took my son to the school, I was nervous about my son. Since it was the first time he is leaving home and going to a new environment. I said “bye” to him and was eagerly waiting for the staff to come out from the class. Later the class teacher requested me to leave the place because on seeing my face my son might cry out with excitement. That day happened to be half -day for all the kids. When I went to receive him in the afternoon, I asked him about the new school and new teacher. He said he liked the school very much.
Slowly he began to adapt the new environment and he loved going to school. He got new friends and he began to learn new activities. We enjoyed all his new activities that he does at home. Daily it is a new learning for him and we also started to like the school. Days passed and it was almost in the year-end. Summer started and for kinder garden kids vacation starts earlier. So we planned to leave him with my parents during the holidays.

 I visited school to pay fees for the next academic year. After a while the office staff asked about the purpose of my visit. I said I have been here to pay the fees for the next year. They asked me to wait for a moment and then they said to meet the higher authority of the school i.e. Principal. I waited for my turn to meet the principal. When I entered the principal room she offered a seat. I sat in front of her and said that I have come to pay the fees.
She said “last date is over. You cannot pay fees now”
I replied, “I didn't receive any intimation about this”
She said, “We displayed the date in the notice board”
“I didn't see notice board.”
“What is this irresponsible answer? It’s your duty to see the notice board”’
“I am working, so not able to come on that particular time“
She said, “Then what responsibility you have. All parents will leave their children here and they will never come. Big headache to us”
“I have visited earlier many times. But regarding fees I thought I can do the payment at any time”
She said, “School rules will not let to do so”
I asked, “You can intimate us through diary, so that I might have been aware of it”
She said, “Here thousands of students are studying. We cannot intimate to each and every one. That is not our job”.
I can’t even believe that a person who is in higher position is behaving in such a harsh way to the parents. I said, “At least you should intimate the parents who have not paid the fees”
She said, “We have lots of other job in school “
I asked, “Finally what is your answer”
She said, “Wait for some time. I will tell you. Where is your son?”
“He is with my parents” I Said.
She said, “Without your son you are not allowed to pay the fees. You may go now”

I came out and called my husband and said everything. In the evening when I met him I said I don’t want this school anymore. He was shocked with my statement and said “Don’t be fool. We will meet her again tomorrow and will convince her."
I said “No. They are treating parents like servants. How can they teach humble manners to the children? They will never learn good manners from this school. We will change the school. I want my son to be educated not in a big school but in a right school”
I took that decision and was also strong in my decision. We moved him to another school where there is good relationship between the parents and school teachers. Today he is at II standard and no issues so far regarding the school. The Class teacher will speak to all parents of their wards once in a month and will discuss the students performance.
Still now I feel pleased of that bold step which gave a positive change in my life and my child’s life.
