Diamond jubilee lady hits the BULLSEYE 🙂
Tumblr media
Just as my mom Smt. Sanjeevini Rao turns 75 tomorrow ,here are 7 special moments which makes me feel proud of her. I call her The Iron Lady for these very special qualities. A gritty , focused and tough lady had a very special 70 years. Along with these special achievements, her biggest victory is how she battled Lymphoma Cancer. She braved through 6 full chemo treatment to fight the cancer. Having will power, dedication and focus to get through cancer with a positive attitude is not everyone's cup of tea. Hat's off mom. Keep rocking!!!Just as photo describes, she has hit BULLSEYE in this aspect .
Moment 1 : Period 1984. Place Bhadravathi. Dad was in transferable job as he had moved to marketing role. We got transferred from Bangalore to Bhadravathi. Me and Seema joined St Charles school. Mom and Dad were curious to see how we would fare in school considering change of school is not always easy to adapt. I was in 2nd standard and Seema in 5th standard. St Charles was a very competitive school with loads of bright students. In mid term exams, we did well. Results were to be announced after festival holiday break. Mom had put in a great effort to get me accustomed to new syllabus and new school. St Charles had a tradition of announcing top 3 ranks of each class in morning assembly. This was to encourage the students. I was literally chatting my friend Ashit during the assembly when all of a sudden something shocking happened. They announced my name for 2nd rank. In our class, we had 2 students by my name. They had not announced initials. They again announced my name with Boloor tag to it. I was shocked more than surprised. My hands were almost trembling when I ran towards the stage. I had shock expression in my face even when I received marks card from principal. Seema also came 2nd in class in that exams. Mom was thrilled . Dad was even more as he felt a bit guilty of being transferred to Bhadravathi. He literally picked me and threw into the air. My head almost touched the roof the hall in the house. Well, fun just started here. Seema was always a student who would excel consistently. I was like Ravi Shastri, happy in hitting a few sixes and then get out of form 😉 In Nov exams, my rank dipped to 10th and in Dec exams to 23rd. During this period, my aunt Sharath was in Bhadravathi. As soon as I showed my marks card to mom, lecture started as expected from mom. I expected that as her oratory skills was like legendary Indira Gandhi. Hard hitting words with spot on points. I had my face covered in hands as I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. She made a comment “ Your marks has fallen off the mountain, from the peak to the bottom. In next exam, I guess you would dig the ground and go further down !!”. Sharath aunty felt bad and tried to calm mom. I started getting a bit nervous. Things calmed post that. The way she expressed her opinion, I know she was more hurt that I scored less marks. Mom then didn’t say a thing for a week. She then prepared a daily time table of what to read. Seema on the other hand had secured first rank in both the exams. Mom never pressurized me by comparing to Seema. She knew both are of different mould. In today’s sporting world, She was Virat Kohli and I was a mere Rishab Pant with a few sixes here and there. I put in loads of effort post that. I managed to get 5th rank in final exams. This was my first face off with mom’s anger. I can relate to this anger even now. I am a bit tempered. Beneath anger, I knew she wanted me to do the best.
Moment 2 : A couple of years later, mom felt the need to work as it would improve the financial state of the house. She was always fond of teaching. She had done B.Sc in Maths and was even a rank holder. She decided to pursue B.Ed which would open up teacher roles for her. Unfortunately, there was no college in Bhadravathi which had this course. She enrolled into a college in Shimoga which was about 1 hour drive from Bhadravathi those days. So at the age of 38, she decided to do B.ED which was remarkable since she had to do on top of normal household work. She would get up at 5 AM, get household work done, then leave to Shimoga at 7 AM. She would return by 5 PM. She would have some assignments too. She would help me in my homework as well. This routine would go for 1 full year. It needed a lot of guts and determination to do this. By the time, she completed her B.Ed, dad came to home with news of being transferred again. Mom had the expression in her face which would say “ When one challenge is completed, other follows like a shadow!!”. We moved to Bangalore again !!!.
Moment 3 : Period 1988 to 1990. This was a phase we led a rapid life. I was super happy as our house was right in front of massive APS college ground. Mom happen to be teacher of the same school where Seema studied. Infact, she was Maths teacher of Seema for 9th and 10th standard. I was busy playing. The moment I return from school, I would rush to the ground. Mom and Seema would return from school together. This was period where Seema would win loads of awards. Mom was super proud of her. She won 2nd price in Hindi debate competition for whole of Karnataka which was splendid achievement. She won loads of awards in school competitions too. 2 moments brought maximum happiness to Mom during this phase. One was Seema winning Hindi debate competition and another was me winning 3rd prize in science exhibition. I enrolled my name at the last moment and didn’t have any idea what to present. Mom gave the idea of liquids getting heated faster than solid. Example was simple. Have a stand to place a cardboard box. Fill the box with water. Place a candle under the box with enough distance between them. Its observed that water catches fire faster than cardboard box. Mom gave me explanation points around it too which revolved around some molecular theory. I memorized it well as I had a knack of doing it. Judges were some college professors. 70 students had participated in it. Judges heard each student’s explanation. There were some interesting ones too like volcanic effect by my classmate Niranjan. I explained my part well. My only worry was that I had just 2 cardboard boxes. I had to use it smartly. I had to start the experiment just a few minutes before judges came to my seat. I did that well. Judges were impressed. I felt relieved. Post lunch, one of the teachers came and made 2 announcements. One was that parents and teachers would come around to see the displays between 3-5 PM IST. 2nd was the 3 winners. I was shocked more than surprised when they announced my name as 3rd place winner. It made my day. Mom couldn’t come to watch my experiment since she would return from school only 430 PM. I had a bigger issue in hand. I didn’t have any cardboard box left. I went around sweet shop near my house. He spared me 4 old boxes without charging a penny. We would constantly buy veg puff there. So he knew me well. Post 5 PM, I ran to house to announce my results. Mom was super happy. She couldn’t control her wide smile. She and Seema came for prize distribution later too. Actor Srinath was the chief guest that year. It was cool to receive the prize from him. Mom made science and Maths simple for me which helped a great deal in later years to come.
Moment 4 : In 1990, we got transferred again. This time to Madras. It took ages to get settled in the TN capital. I used to call it MAAADDDras with specific emphasis on Mad. I made good friends though but life style was so different. In school too, focus was all on studies. In the school I studied, there was no sports period as well. That’s when we as a family got really close. We literally became friends for each other. To top the pain, our TV had gone to maker’s factory for insurance claim. For 6 months we didn’t have TV. I literally followed 1990 world cup soccer on news paper only. Due to this, we had loads of time though. We used to go for long walks post dinner. We used to live in Ashoknagar which was really a good place. Mom got her job in school pretty fast. She directly approached principal of Jawahar Vidyalaya. They had a post open at that time. Her career really picked up from there. In initial years of tough life in Chennai, mom held us together. This was very critical since we led next 10 years of life in Madras.
Moment 5 : I had a crazy way of studying for my exams. I liked to read while walking. I walked around the house as if it is a temple. This is not just it. I had to have TV on with some sports channel on. I would constantly focus on scores as and when I come in front of TV. When I study, others don’t get to watch TV !! . Mom somehow managed to bear my crazy style of studying. The pace at which I would walk would increase as and when I get further in studies. Infact, I even studied Maths like this. I studied Maths also mentally rather than practicing it. During engineering days, books would get heavy. So I would tear books into 3-4 parts !!! Any other mother would lock their kid in a room and make them study if they study in such a idiotic way. She always smiled when I walked with an expression “ You are one unique specimen !!! “ . She kept saying to his students who came to tuition though that this is exactly NOT the way to study !!! 😊 . What she couldn’t say to me she said to her students. Speaking of making your point in a unique way !!
Moment 6 : I had met with a major accident 2 months before my XII board exams. I was bed ridden for almost 2-3 weeks. It was critical phase for XII as all revision exams and tuitions was scheduled during that phase. Any other parent would have panicked. But mom being mom, she just told me to give it all once I am fine. She did sound a bit nervous though. Mom and dad didn’t want to make me nervous though. Once I recovered, I just had a little more 4 weeks left for exams to start. I decided not to go final revision as well as that would reduce time for preparation for final exams. Though it was a bold move, mom felt that would be the best as well. I prepared a strict timetable. In X board exams even though I did well, I just managed to score 80% marks. Any such dip would make dad’s life difficult as management engineer quota was expensive. I just put my mind out of all this and just focused on studies. I still watched TV and still walked around the house though !!!. I did reasonably well in exams. When the day came for the marks to come, mom decided to stay back home and took off from school. She was a bit nervous but didn’t show it. My marks was like Bulls eye for engineering seat. I got 96.5% in PCM which mattered. I just got 85% in rest. But that was enough. Infact, I was topper in the class in PCM% which was a shocker for me. Had mom not given the freedom to study the way I did, I would not have fared so well. It mattered a lot as management quota seat would cost 40-50K per year but free seat would just cost 6.5K per year. I managed to get the later. Dad was so thrilled that he too came back from office earlier than scheduled with a box of sweets. I finally had a moment which made mom and dad proud and I was proud of it !!!
Moment 7 : Well, this has got to be Singapore trip . Mom, dad, Seema and Sanjay came to Singapore when I was posted there for an onsite assignment. We really had good time there. Mom had a wish to visit a foreign country and she was smiling all through the trip.
Cheers to Mom for her “ Never say die “ spirit. Though there were few moments where our thoughts didn’t match , it was negligible when compared to the respect we have for each other. Mom rocks at 75 !!! Many cheers to the IRON Lady who turns 75 tomorrow !!!!

Entry 2: my headphones arrived they are awesome so far. My air conditioning got repaired exams are coming so naturally im worried will go to the lib from tomorrow because this shit needs to get under control now.
Idc how i do now but id rather not be a super shit doctor
Anyways i ordered matthews for medicine for exams because boloor is just too effing haphazard to digest.
Here goes nothing.
Also something new i learned today
I need to negotiate with myself to come at something i can do without tyrannising myself because a useless sob like me is obv not going to wakeup one day from my current state of being and just crush 10 chapters so i need to negotiate with myself what i would be instead willing to do even if that’s studying one hr a day it’s tremendously better than 0 hours.

Brahmacharini
Pawan Acharya Boloor wrote : #conceptart: ✨NAVARATRI✨.
✨The nine days of Durga Puja are dedicated to different aspects of human life. With each avatar, we learn something. ✨The second most powerful manifestation of Goddess Durga is Devi Brahmacharini who prayed for over a thousand years to please Lord Shiva.✨
✨Brahmacharini means a devoted female student who lives in an Ashrama with her Guru along with other students. It is also the name of the second aspect of Goddess Durga or Parvati.✨

#793 Summer of 1986 - An injury filled vacation !!!
Tumblr media
Just as another summer vacation is approaching for Shreyas, it’s time to take you all back to 1986. Place Bhadravathi. Post completion of exams where I surprised all by grabbing 3rd rank in finals, we were all set for vacation in native Mangalore. Seema topped in her class too. Dad also used to get 3 weeks annual holidays during this period. We had to leave to Shimoga by 830 PM in the night to grab a 1030 PM bus from Shimoga to Mangalore.  We were all pumped. Dad had finished his work early and came back home. He had gone to grocery shop to do some last minute shopping. I couldn’t control the fun in myself as I walked around in great enthusiasm. I usually walked around with bat in hand. In midst of all this, I practiced a cricket shot. AT the same time, my sister Seema entered the hall. The bat hit bang on her  forehead. She started to bleed as well. Mom and dad couldn’t believe what happened. Dad called his friend Dr Karunakar Shetty and asked for help. He told to bring her to his clinic. While dad took Seema to the clinic, Mom gave her piece of mind to me. I probably deserved it. In my wicked mind, I felt bad for 2 things. I felt bad for Seema and also had a faint fear that our trip would get cancelled. I couldn’t make up as to which fear factor was more. Wicked Sandeep !!!!!
Dr had put stitches and put bandage around her head. They both returned back to home at about 8 PM. Dr felt it was fine to travel. I probably smiled within. Wicked Sandeep !!!. Seema had bandage all round her head and looked like a wounded soldier. Once dad entered the house, he gave me a stare which made me tremble. He has never looked like that at me either before nor after that incident. We quickly got ready. We just managed to reach Shimoga on time.  I never uttered a word throughout the trip.  Once we reached Mangalore, all started enquiring about Seema’s injury.  I got my share of stare from everybody in Boloor !!!!  Things started getting better after a couple of days.  Life in Boloor during vacation was packed with loads of fun. We Boloorians can talk at the drop of a dust as well. Any topic, any time, any place with anybody !!!!. Morning breakfast used to be redboiled rice with some yummy sambhars. My Grandma used to prepare some yummy Mangalore red chilli sambhar. Nobody prepared it that well. The right mix of ingredients was the trick which she mastered at.  Since we had a huge gathering cousins around, cards was a game which we played regularly. In between games, snacks was in regular supply from all aunties houses. Our favourite event during vacation was trip to sultan battery beach. We had to walk for about a kilometre, wait for a boat which helped us to cross the other side and again walk for about half a kilometre to reach the beach. Boat used to shake in middle of the river which was nerve racking for some and fun for others. We played loads of games in the beach. Snacks would vary from raw mango pieces with chillipowder-salt mix, chips, mixture, etc.  We used to watch the beautiful sunset before we grab the last boat to get back to our house. Our legs was soaked in sand, dress was drenched but we had a big smile on our face as we walked towards the house. When we were washing our legs, my cousin Archana shouted as one of her anklet went missing. Her mom gave her piece of mind. I thought it sounded very similar to what mom said when Seema got hurt.  I had a feeling that ladies emotions were very similar in nature !! At about 6 AM next morning, myself, Archana and her dad went to the beach again in his scooter to search for the anklet. After searching in a few places, we actually found the anklet hidden under the sand . It was pure luck that part of the anklet was out of the sand. Archana felt as if she had won a lottery !!.
Our 3 weeks vacation is usually split into 3 weeks. First week in Boloor, 2nd in Kankanady which is mom’s native place and 3rd week back in Boloor. Seema got her bandage removed . She looked normal again. We went to Kankanady. Sharath and Latha aunty were waiting for us. As soon as we entered, ladies in the house started chatting. It almost never ended. They even spoke while in sleep !!!. I used to listen and listen and listen. The way Kankanady gang spoke, there was no full stop in any sentence including grandma. I almost felt like saying “ Calm down ladies !!!”. During evening time, we used to walk in the garden. There used to be 3 pillar shaped pots. Uncle Vinod had a ball with him. He had prepared a bat using Coconut tree stem as well.  Uncle, Sharath and Latha aunty used to throw ball at me to keep me engaged. On Saturday, uncle took us to Kadri park. After a long walk, he used to treat us with Charmuri chat. It is still the best chat I have had . They prepare charmuri like nobody else do.
Just as we ended our stay and headed back to Boloor, Dad took us to Ideal ice creams. Though all liked Gadbad, I used to enjoy Parafait ice cream. I have been to USA, Singapore and various places in India. I am yet to taste an ice cream which is better than what Ideals prepare. They are just divine in taste. They still do after so many years. During one of the last few days of our vacation, we went to neighbour’s house to play post lunch. Uncle and aunty in that house used to go for work. We all cousins used to gather in their house where their daughters Priya and Preeti used to stay. Just as Karma would have it was my time to get injured. Preeti was cutting raw mangoes with a sharp knife. I cracked some joke at her as she was cutting the mango with an unusual style. She instinctively pulled her knife towards me. I instinctively protected myself and caught the knife. It pierced between my thumb and 2nd finger. I smiled at myself. Karma has made fun at me now. There was 3 inch cut. Doctor put 4 stitches . When we entered Mangalore Seema was injured and when we returned , I was. When we reached Bhadravathi, Dr uncle pulled my leg – “ You tried hitting Seema for a six while going to Mangalore but came back being hit-wicket “ . Wicked Sandeep had a wry of smile again on his face.
There are vacations which we enjoy but very few which have recall value. But each and every trip to Mangalore has a recall value. That’s why Boloor and Kankanady has a special place in my heart and will always be!!!

Sultan Battery
The Sultan Battery watch tower, constructed in 1784 by Tippu Sultan is in Boloor, 4 km from the center of Mangalore city. 
Boloor is known for the watch tower constructed in the era of the emperor Tippu Sultan.
Sultan Battery was built of black stones and constructed to obstruct war ships from entering the river which was the major route for English invasion. Though the place holds the watch tower, it looks like a fort with mounting places for cannons. There is an underground storage area under the tower that was used to store gunpowder. It was a naval station and was of great importance to the sultan as he used it to intercept enemy warships and prevent them from docking.
And there is also a news that Tippu Sulthan constructed a secret route under the tower which connects Mysore. The name “Battery” is given because the tower takes shape of the battery.
