THILA the little girl...






As everyone knows, many memorable events occurred in the year 1991 – Lithuania became independent, Germany was unified, World Cup Soccer, the Vision 2020 Programme was launched and many more. One of the most exciting events that took place in Mr Tiagarajan’s family was the birth of their eldest daughter Thila after 6 years of their marriage life. She was born on the 3rd early morning in a private hospital in Pearl of Orient. She was given the name Thilageswary by her grandmother who took care of her since the day she was born.She is proud of my name because it is unique and she finds it meaningful. She was named according to the Indian traditional custom but as she went to school and started to mix around, her name was shortened to Thila. This was because it was easier for her friends and teachers to pronounce. She was very satisfied with her new nickname because it sounds more stylish and modern.The first impression she gives to others is a homely and motherly looking Indian girl. That is what her friends tell her most of the time.But she does not thinks so.


Thila started her schooling life in one of the most well -known girls’ school in Penang, SMK Convent Green Lane. She continued her secondary education in the same school. She was always bothered by the fact that she was the shortest among her friends. But now she is matured enough to accept that fact. Like everyone, Thila changed physical and mentally. When she stepped into year 1, she was very timid and silent but now she is total opposite of how she was when she was in primary school. She turned from a little innocent girl to a more outspoken and outgoing girl. These changes took place as she grew older and faced the reality. After taking a good look at what was going around her, she decided that she has to undergo transformation to excel in her studies and also in all her undertakings. Making friends is one of her talent. She was a prefect in school and she is well known in her school until today because she is very strict.But among her friends, she is one of the most funniest and she craps most of the time.Her friends are understanding and accept her for what she is. The day Thila entered KBU International College, she was shocked to see that she was the only Indian girl in her course but she did not bother about it. She mingles around with everyone without prejudice. Today, Thila is well-known as a talkative girl among the JPA scholars. She used to speak in a quiet voice but now her friends could hear her from the other end of the building.



As Thila is the eldest daughter in the family, she was showered with love by her parents. Two years after her birth, she had a cute and lovely sister. She loves and cares a lot for her sister because she does not have any other siblings. One of the most interesting part in Thila’s life is her parents are not highly educated but she managed to excel in her studies until she obtained a scholarship from JPA and at the moment she is doing AUSMAT Programme in KBU International. Thila’s mum was very worried about Thila’s achievement in education as she enrolled in Year 1.This was because her mum is from India and not able to guide her in her studies as all subjects were in Malay language. Thila worked hard on her own to achieve excellence in studies and became a role model to her younger sister. Even though her parents could not help her in her studies, but they are always with her to give moral support. Her dad was a bread vendor. He works day and night to support the family. He never rejected whatever that Thila ask for .The only way she could make her parents proud and happy is by showing excellence in studies and behaviour. To Thila her image is one of the most important aspects in her life, so she always upholds her image .

Like other girls, Thila spends her free time going window shopping. She loves window shopping is because she is able to update herself with the latest fashion and trend. Accessories attract her attention whenever she goes shopping. The first thing that comes to her mind after taking her morning is “What should I wear to college today and which earring matches my dress?” She wants to be unique and extraordinary. She has a large collection of earrings and hair bands. Most of the time, her friend will be amazed to see her wearing new earring which goes along well with her attire. Besides that, Thila thinks cooking is interesting. Cooking is one of her hobby and she cooks many dishes. When she was in Form 3, she won first placing in a cooking competition which was held in her school. As she grows older, she explores more new things to do during her free time. She learned driving and started to drive around the island. During her childhood, she was even very scared to ride a bicycle but now she could ride a motorbike. Thila is proud of herself because she changed into a braver person. She also enjoys taking photographs of herself. This might be because she is too vain.



At the moment Thila’s ambition is to pass her AUSMAT examination with flying colours and be able to fly to Germany and pursue her studies in engineering field. Pride and happiness of family is Thila’s heartbeat, so she will put all her hard work to achieve her dream. Thila always believes that nothing can be achieved without putting in effort. She always has faith in God. She believes that, when God walks in fear walks away, when fear walks away, faith walks in. When faith walks in, worries walk away. Thila finds that time management is important to avoid worries. Even though she pays attention to her studies, she does allocate some time for relaxation. A person should have a peaceful mind when he studies, so that he is able to absorb everything. Lastly she is a very understanding, determined, loving, caring girl who talks nonstop. Her friends tried to stop her from talking too much and too loud but unfortunately they could not. She enjoys talking.She tries to control herself from talking in the class but sometimes it fails. That is Thila and her uniqueness.She enjoys being different from the rest.
