My daughter goes to school with her mother to get admitted and the car driver's introduction that she is my daughter was enough and she was made to sit in the class. My son's admission was different those Malayali kids were not like Mysore kids. There play was different and so were the books. I know that they would like the school and get along well. What I wanted to do in 2 years in this mills I took 5 years not because workers were unskilled but there were disputes and labour leaders would go on dragging the dispute with out coming to any reasonable settlement. Workers were good but there was division among them as there were 18 different party's in 18 groups.
Nearly for 5 years I ran the mill producing old sorts that had a good market. I maintained them but produced high value fabrics and fine count yarn which were high of value. I also produced 67/33 PC shirting's and suiting's. Half Voile Sarees printed and Bed Sheets, Door & Window curtains which no other mill in the group was manufacturing. A New Show Room was opened on the High Way which was going by the side of the mills. The mill was making some profit.
Whole town was happy that a sleepy textile mill was producing so many verity of fabrics. Few senior technical officers and few others were jealous but they were good to me and I was good to them.
My children went on securing good grades and were happy. At one time lot of workers happened to assemble in front of my bungalow waiting for their leader to come. We were staying above the office and my daughter was observing them from the open Balcony. Workers did not expect her to do anything they were silent. My daughter knew that they would shout "INQUILAB ZINDABAD" and since they did not say she shouted INQUILAB ZINDABAD. That was a joke whole Mill enjoyed.
All was well but all were not happy something was a mess and I was transferred to another mill.
Since I knew I will have to go we went to KANYAKUMARI to see the two ocean's meeting and SUN RAISE AND SUNSET. We liked the place very much after seeing SUN RAISE my son wanted to see SUNSET when we went there the sun was not setting at the place but far away. My son had determined to see the sunset went off with the group heading to words the place where they could see the sunset. It was getting dark and I was carrying my daughter and my wife was not prepared to go with my son. My son once makes up his mind that's it is done. We called him back but he was gone. It was pitch dark all those who went were not coming and I could not walk on the sad so I sat down and made my wife also sit along with my daughter. Somebody passing by told why are you sitting here SEA SNAKES will come Shortly from the sea. My heart sank I was in deep trouble I started shouting my son's name and and he took his time and came and how he found the way back I don't know. I appreciated his determination to see the sunset ignoring or unknowing the risk was his courage and a self induced motivation I presume. Soon we walked back along with others who had reached our spot and we came back safe. I remember this incident very much.
