June is the month of mansoons - what we call "Edava ppathi" when the rains are accompanied by lightning and thunderstorms. It's when the schools open after 2 month long vacations. And June is my favorite month. No, not because of any of the fore said reasons, but purely due to the simple fact that I was born in the month of June!!!
I was born on June 7th, 1984 and not many are privy to this information - simply because my official b'day is on May 16th !!! Let me explain... :)
In old times, there was a simple pre-requisite to join Std 1 - you needed to be atleast 5 yrs old as on June 1 of that year. And there was no way I could make it and this would have meant waiting/wasting 1 academic year just for that 1 week !!!
Hence my father changed my official b'date to May 16 which gave me enough experience on this planet to join class 1. :) This also made sure that most certainly I will be the youngest student in any class I studied. :) And I could do Pre-Degree as the last batch (later, there were only Plus 2 - no Pre-Degree) and it allowed me to study in Saint Berchmans' college - one of the most prestigious institutions near my place.
So cutting the story short, I was born in June, on a Thursday and on a day when it never stopped raining!!! Hence I love rains, I love Thursdays and I love June !!!
