down the memory lane

I still remember our (98 batch) sent off function . It was an emotional and sentimental atmosphere and all were showering blessings and love on us. When my turn came for a thanks giving reply, the words I uttered is crystal clear even after years. I had a passion towards the golden yellow flowers of Cassia fistula, our kani konna which stood very near to my classroom. So i couldnt avoid her in my reply. That why i said varshangal kadannu poyalum,ritukkal mari mari vannalum,ee kalalayathile puthia kootukarum adhyapakarum njangala marannalum ritubhedangal ellathe pookkunna ee kani konna njangala varavelkum ennariyam. But it was touching or even hurt the feelings of somebody. That i understood when one of our beloved teachers repeated my words in many occasions and assure me that no no we wont forget you all. And he kept his word even after years we met .
