"Buffalo get up soon, Karthi anna has come."

That was Barani's younger sibling Saranya. A bundle of joy, energetic girl and yes a future doctor, thats how she wakes up her brother everyday.

"Ask him to sit, ill freshen up and come in 5 min, give him something to eat."

"Hmmm"

"Saranya did you give him something to eat"

"Sir, I know to take care of my brother you get ready and come he is waiting for a long time playing with Tommy."

Tommy was a country breed usually doesn't allow anyone else to come apart from Karthik, He too had his share initially but somehow got along with him very well. It used to accompany both Barani and Saranya to school every day and come back.

"Sorry da slept off, how come you are here and that too on a Sunday?"

"Barani there is a State level science talent exam that is going to happen this month, saw the ad in today's newspaper, that's why came to give it to you, You are indeed the brightest student available in our set and the best bet to will laurels for our school."

"That's right but for inter school itself there was a heavy completion and moreover time is too short."

"I did not come here to ask you to participate in the state level competition but just came to inform that enrollment has already taken care of, you just need to prepare and be ready that's it."

"How come?"

"Called your house this morning you were not there, got all the details from Saranya and applied for it. Here take it, this is the hall ticket for the same."

"Yes Barani, I only gave all the information across."

"Thanks da Karthi"

"Keep the thanks to yourself, get sweets from mom while coming to school tomorrow and don't forget to start preparing."

"Leave it anna ill kick him and make him prepare."

There was total laughter for sometime all three of them had a good time, Tommy was a lil angry that Karthik didn't get anything for him. After a lot of pampering Tommy, Karthik took leave from Barani's house.

Elsewhere Manoj and Kavin were getting ready for Cricket coaching camp and were already on their way. Their school ground was one of the biggest available in Tirupur. Both were practising it really hard to break into the school team. Kavin was an excellent allrounder that any team would want and Manoj was an dashing opener.

Karthik, always dreamt of getting into the football team, he idolized David Beckham and admired him a lot. He somehow was able to convince Vinoth also to take up football so that he doesn't feel lonely. However though he was hesitant in the beginning, Vinoth turned out to be an excellent defender for the team.

Though they were split by different sport, they always remained together. Be it Cricket or Football or any given thing, others used to accompany and cheer up for each other. Varsha used to be the speaker of the lot, she used to shout and encourage the guys to perform to the best.

Meanwhile, there was a poll conducted in schools to see what game can be conducted for those who were not in any of the outdoor sport. There were a lot of games discussed right from Carrom, Chess, Badminton to name a few. It came out as a shocker for most in the school as the poll results came, most of them wanted Ludo.

This entire Chosen Family are too good when it comes to Ludo. They play it quite often that each one has their own strategy and the Dice usually listens to their tune whenever needed. Nathiya, Varsha, Neha along with Megha formed a formidable strategic unit. They went on defeating all participants from different classes and the four of them ended up in the finals. All of them had won their respective preliminaries easily. Prize money was guaranteed for all four of them, so they played one classical finale. Each one mastered the other through their presence of mind and finally it was Nathiya who won the tournament with Varsha coming closely second in the battle of the best.

Their class room was right above principals room, so whatever they did, was usually done after ensuring that sister is not there in her room. This can be found very easily as kids could see if sister's vehicle was present through the classroom window.

Though Thulasi was a strict class rep to start, she soon gelled with these people. She used to warn them of any upcoming things that she is aware of. Except for class hours where its like her hand are tied up, she makes sure that they don't get caught for any reason.

It all happened one fine day when the staff did not turn up. You all can imagine how kids would be if a teacher is not present. First they looked out through the window to see if sister's van was there. Upon seeing the parking space empty, They started running around the classroom and at one point of time they were running on top of the tables. Mainly Varsha, Karthik, Manoj and Vinoth were running on tables as though they got no where to escape.

Kavin did not join them due to getting caught under the table eating. Thulasi felt something was not right and asked everyone to be quiet. Vinoth luckily got to the classroom entrance so that he could go and quench his thirst by drinking water. While drinking he was able to see principal sister going towards the classroom.

There was a little chaos inside the classroom. By the time sister came to the classroom entrance. It was Varsha alone who was running on the bench and shouting at her friends. You could imagine what would have happened, Varsha turned to see Sister fuming outside the classroom she was waiting patiently, the moment she turned towards the class door its was the day for our iron lady.

She was taken to her room by Sister and it was a Gyan session for Varsha for a very long time. Varsha was unmoved and was mostly not paying attention to what sister was saying. She said it will not happen again and left. She went near the classroom and overheard Alphonse miss voice, without entering the class she signalled to Karthik aaking him to come along with others to cafeteria after the bell.

Parota was soemtyhing that was famous at the same time in very high demand at the canteen, Varsha managed to get a few for her friends and herself. All of them arrived looking terrified not knowing what had happened to her.

Manoj " What happened Varsha"

Varsha " Am hungry, have got Parota for everyone, shall we ear first."

"This Vinoth could have saved me when he went out, Manoj, Karthi you both luckily escaped the lecture she gave. Better she could have given few cane shots."

Kavin " So no cane shots?"

Nathiya "Are you happy that she did not get it or sad that she escaped."

Everyone started laughing and listened to her narrating what all happened. Though she was very mischievous, she was indeed the pet of many teachers including Sister at school. Varsha was actually let off with a warning.
