Survival is not Inbuilt but a careful strategy

I had many survival strategies in my childhood.

Thankfully I had timid mother and totally out of sort father.

I was born the youngest but was not a family pet.

I was not a pushover and never became a family slave.

I gradually raised to the top in the family by sometimes brute force.

I never gave any credence to the seniority and challenged guys twice my size with brute force.

When a leadership role was thrown at me I grabbed it and threw away that role onve bored.

I did not fear Priests, Principles and Caining Masters.

I was never proactive and always counteractive when freedom and fairness was challenged.
We had a great burgher sports master.

I treated our Tamil brothers equal and my best friend was Jaffna Tamil coming from an educated family.
I can remember crying when he left us.
He wanted to become a medical student but failed in three attempts and migrated ton Australia and he probably failed there too in academic activities and abruptly stop corresponding  with me.
His name is Donald Williams and if he reads this piece please make a comment below and make a direct contact.

Fortunately I never had a Muslim friend.

There were no muslims in my class.
