Au revoir Mr Somanatha Sarma!

 Am reproducing my ode to Mr Somanatha Sarma, the HM of UPS Thalavoor. He's a great gentleman!

• Good Evening folks,

  
  

  1. Would not have finished my task for the day and the month of May if I did not

      narrate to you this story of Mr Somanatha Sarma, the HM of the Thalavoor 

      UPS where my dad, his sisters and brothers, my sisters and many of my 

      cousins had spent their childhood.

  
  

  2. It houses classes from KG to class VII and has a strength of 196 students. I

      am invited by the school during the 'Vaayana Maasaacharanam' every year.

  
  

  3. The illustrious and hardworking Mr Sarma has brought his school to great 

      levels by his innovative thinking, insisting on the best for his students while

      ensuring discipline and going through the minutest details to deliver the best.

      Despite constraints in resources, he has been able get funds that have been

      meticulously managed toward the betterment of the school.

  
  

  4. I would like to put his efforts in one sentence, "He used to breathe and live

      for the school and I don't think that they make 'em teachers like him any

      more!"

  
  

  5. He retired earlier in the day after putting in 28 years of his life at 56 years of age.

      His wife, Vrinda works for the KSFE and they have two children, Gayathri who 

      has just completed her degree course and son, Gautham who has performed

      well in the recent 10+2 examination.

  
  

  6. Spoke to him on the last day of his professional life and have requested him to

      join me in the PN Panicker Foundation's activities.

  
  

  7. Wishing him a long, happy and healthy life and here's praying that he and his

      family get all that they wish for!  

  
  

  8. R.
