Hey who is this Rajee teacher re? Wow! My memory is giving up on me already!!
Speaking of "boo baani" pronounciations and accents reminds me of this cute boy in our class in the 9th standard (9 A) who was new to our school that year..that was his first and last year in VV, he was a lefty which was not very common at that time to me, so all the more attractive :) Anyway, Vasantha Eshwar was our class teacher that year, and whenever she took the attendance and his name came up, we used to hear it as "Kapte", which made no sense..we used to really concentrate to listen to what this new boy's name was..but for a few mths we actually thought his name was Kapte..then found out - from HV I think - that his name was Kartik :P and henceforth he became known as "Kapte Kartik" among a few of us..unfortunately he did'nt continue in our school after that 1 year..
