20.0 Have Fun In Your Tough Times And Collect Memories To Remind Later.

Even it was a tough time, there were certain advantages of staying in a boarding place also. At boarding place, I learned to manage my own stuff and work alone. It was not an easy task in the beginning and, it was additional pressure for me with the studies sometimes. Maintaining the school uniform was such a big job that I had those days and, I learned to iron it well by arranging the pleats. 

It was not my job when I was going to school from home. So, in the learning curve, I could not keep my school uniform neatly. Therefore, there was one friend in the boarding place to help me with this, especially when I had a special event or something in the school. She did that favoritism to me without my request. However, she used to blame everyone when she was working at that job. Lol...

As well as she used to arrange the mosquito net and, cover us once we went to sleep without the mosquito net. I heard that she was blaming us as a dream and she used to continue her talks once we got up in the morning as well. Then what I said was 'I did not ask you to do it, buddy. Then it increased her anger and, she said 'If I did not do that, then the mosquitoes will bring you to the hell men. After that you will come with more diseases and, it would annoy us more. Don't talk nonsense and do not forget to arrange the mosquito net before going to sleep. You are like a bladdy drug-addicted fellow when you feel sleepy. I do not understand you all'. Later on, it was fun for us to hear her mosquito net song in the morning.

One day she came to guide the root when I had a tuition class at a place where I did not know the way to go. Because of her kindness, she was like a mother to us. Though she blamed us several times, her union was a great pleasure for us. We had a warm feeling and felt secure when she was at the boarding place. She was a kind-hearted fellow. We had contacts with each other for a couple of years after leaving the boarding place also. Later on, we lost our contacts when moving with higher studies and jobs. I think now she is working as a nurse in a government hospital. Once I got to know that, I was happy and, I thought it is the best job for her. 

The other person was the one who took responsibility for any work. She was also like an elder sister for us and, she was a crazy fellow. She could work as a boy. She had the technical knowledge and, repaired many broken electrical items in the boarding place. Therefore, she was a useful resource for aunty, though she did not care for her much. In such situations, we could recognize the auntie’s fake voice. 

Some days we did not have water in the pipe when there were renovations. So, she was the one who brought water from the well. Though we also did it, she took the responsibility and supplied water for the kitchen and bathroom. The funny thing out of here was, she had to go to the toilet a few times when there was no water. So, our mother in the boarding place asked her to save water and, she pointed out as a mental issue. 

However, in mid of these little battles, all of us were like siblings than friends. Therefore, we exchanged our clothes with each other as well. She liked one of the skirts I had and, she wore it for tuition classes than me I think. One day she went to watch a movie with her few friends and, on that day, she wore my skirt. However, she could not go to the movie hall as she met one of our school teachers in the nearby place. Watching a movie was only allowed with certain conditions, according to the rules of our school. Therefore, she had to come back without going there, and she said that she lost that opportunity because of my skirt.  

Another fellow was 'Hotta' and, we gave that nickname to her as she suffered from cold in most of the days. 'Vaas' was another nice name of her and, 'Vaas' was her favorite cricketer. She loved that nickname. She gave that name to one pillow as well, and her younger sister threw away that pillow when there was a fight with them. Those days, she was the one who had problems in love affairs. One boy was following up with her for a long time and, she could not make a decision. So, she had different views on each day. Sometimes she hated him, and sometimes she wanted. Though we gave several bits of advice and pointed out our views, later on, all of us were tired to think about her problem. So, we asked her to do whatever she wishes.

There's nothing to say about the other people. They were normal.

There was a lot of laughter in the boarding house and, today I could take this topic for my blog because of those incidents. One day there was a pageant in the night and, aunty was busy with many works. A few of her friends came on that day and, aunty gave dinner for all of them. It was a fun day for all of us also. That night we had many junk foods while watching the pageant. We bought some big balloons which give sounds like 'Chili Chili. Later on, we hanged those balloons in our beds.

The biggest challenge that aunty had was to keep us in her eyesight, and she saw that a few boys were looking at us. Most of them looked at our friend's younger sister, and she was the beauty queen. Some of us received chits with contact details from a few boys. One guy looked at me and said that it's pointless to share his details with me as I had short hair. At that time, I cut my hair like a boy and, I received similar comments from boys several times. 

So, aunty arranged dinner for her friends on a high scale, and it was a good dinner for us also. She arranged fried rice, string hoppers and bread with some salads. Apart from these items, there were a few desserts as well. Most of the curries were non-veg. Therefore, she prepared a small portion of veg curry only for me also. Auntie loved me more than everyone in the boarding house and, I did not know the reason. Though I broke some small rules, she did not shout at me. If the same thing happened with others, she did not excuse them and, sometimes she informed their parents also. I had zero inquiries, I think. She worried about my food pattern and, discussed it with my parents once they came. 

Once my father came to the boarding place, he called me instead of aunty. But she did not care about it and, she also yelled and said 'Hey, your parents came to visit you. She did not accept it with many people. However, I asked my father not to do it again. Though my mother also advised the same, it did not work.
