My sweetest memories of Holy Angels' Convent School include a patient angelic nun---Sister Agnes! She has known me since I was born...She has seen me join her Convent School...she has seen my transformation into the naughtiest in school....She has seen me run wild in the Library at All Saints' College (my fav place in the whole wide world! my fascination with books started there)...a lot of memories from my long gone convent school days is associated with her....
There was this time when I took "paachu and kovalan" to school. I had picked it up during my vacation journey to Mom's Tharavad. Who finds me reading it in class? Sister FLORIP! The horror of horrors! She was cross that I was reading a comic book in class...and she was horrified that it was a malayalam comic book....!
She took me by my ear to the Head Mistress - Sister Agnes. And there I was, almost wetting my skirt and Sister Agnes just burst out laughing! I was off the hook with a warning not to read stuff in class when there are lessons going on :) Oh my! Was Sr. Florip peeved or what !!!!!
I used to go back to meet her once in a while after school...during Christmas, with my mom, who was her friend. And out would come freshly baked cakes and wine. I would hang around and talk to her some time...all the while stuffing on the yummy cakes and wine...
Rest in Peace Sister Agnes...until will meet again...!
