St.John's Palayamkottai - Part 4

This post is Rank Card Special !!

We had a novel activity, initiated by our Asst. Headmaster. At the start of Class 12, all the guys (only the first group students) have to fill up something called ambition sheets. Each student have to mention what he wants to become, ie. what course he wants to join after finishing the Class 12. Most of them either fill up as engineer or doctor and your progress each month will be tracked against the cut-off mark in the respective quota ( OC/ BC or whatever) assuming you score similar % in the TNPCEE exams also.

Since the AHM wanted to take personal care of all the students, he will distribute the Rank Cards, personally every month. We fondly call him kaakka (crow), due to his cracking and irritating voice.

We have to stand in a long line, in front of kaaka's room, wait for our turn to be called. Its so much fun, to watch our friends receive the rank cards, with the superb nakkals of kaaka. There is nothing to get embarrased for any of us, since its a boys school. The rank card distribution process will go on approximately for 1-2 hours. He spends atleast few minutes each of our 47 comrades in the class. Let me recollect some moments of this thiruvizha, to give you a glimpse of the proceeedings
