A Lot Can Happen Over Tea..

☕The Matchup☕

The place where me and Pavi sat was the exact place to see the gang..

They were a gang of 8 boys..

Of them, Rajesh and two more guys were the closest..

I have seen sometimes that Rajesh used to pick them up in his car..

Iam good at drawing..

Atleast,I believe so..

I used to go for the drawing competition that usually occurs between the schools..

Rajesh was not studying in our school when I first met him..

I saw him when I was doing my 7th standard..

I was in a hurry to go inside the competetion hall..

The school was different..

It was an interschool competition..

While I was searching for that crayon box, somebody hit me to rush inside the   hall..

I was irritated and annoyed as my whole sketchpen box fell down..

I had to pick and organize everything again..

I was literally running out of time...

I managed to take everything on my hands and sat on my place in the most clumsiet way..

I knew well that the whole room was seeing me..

But, I had no other go..

I was nervous too..

The school had so much of belief over me..

I did remember what my incharge told me before coming here..

"Mullai, You know well that this is an interschool competition..

You have to show your skill in this..

Naan, Principal, Drawing miss ellarume
un mela romba nambika vechirkom..

Draw well..

And come back with the cup.."

Not only to me but to everyone who participated...

The competition has various departments..

Like eloquation in english and tamizh, essay writing in english and tamizh,poetry in english and tamizh, drawing,  solo dance, group dance, music, instrumental music, group singing, mimicry and so we came as a troup..

The topics will be on spot..

Pavi usually comes for the Tamizh essay writing..

She always felt like it was her genre..

She was in a different block..

She would grab a prize for sure, I was thinking..

By then, the topic was given..

'ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION' was the topic..

I thought of drawing 2 scenarios like one place which looks so pleasant by the side of an agricultural land and one place which is highly polluted by the side of a factory..

I divided the sheet and started drawing..

All the nervousness went out when I started drawing..

I went deeply into the drawing..

I finished the outlet with my pencil..

And filled with crayons too..

When I thought of giving the outline with the sketchpen, the trouble started..
