Rocky Cobb and son of Raymond Cobb. He is the 3rd child; he has got 3 brothers, 2 elders and 1 younger. He was born and brought up near the Cooum River, he did his school in the same street where he was born, it was government corporation school, the school housed student only till 8th standard, for further studies one had to go to different area.

 Age 0 to 6 

As child rocky and his 3 brothers were taken care by their grandmother primarily, their mother and father were travelling in their own ways, at the age of 3 he was pushed into nursery care, this nursery care is different from others, Ayamas, baby care takers would be sent out to take all the children from our street and put into nursery school, which is nothing but a small house filed with wooden toys, their they would be given few toys to play around, at noon they would be given little food and sent back home around 2pm, this is how it went on and on for 6 years.

 Age 6 to 10 

At the age of 7 rocky was put into the government corporation school, he did not see anything different from nursery school just go play around and leave, no studies, no home works, most of no worries. from 1st standard till 5 standard this is how it went, he did not learn anything, however he use to pass all the exams, all he will do is write everything found in question paper, if the answer paper is half full he will start writing 1 to 1000 which is the maximum he knows, despite all this he happily goes to school because the school started providing mid a meal, a scheme started by late Chief Minister, M G Ramachandran (MGR) Back at home his parents will always will be quarrelling at each other and bang their children’s very badly, Rocky’s father often beats the life out them, due to this rocky has often tried ending his life, he has consumed RAT POISON which is actually worthless product, only thing that happens after consuming the rat poison is severe headache and bad breathe nothing much, he has even tried Nerium oleander  a flower from toxic plant, despite all this he has survived for 10 years, story will continue.

 Age 11 to 15 

Story starts from where it ended, rocky did not enjoy the school life at all not even a bit except for the free noon meal, he often bunks school, taking couple of his friends to nearby Cooum river plucking fruits, climbing coconut trees for tender coconut water, than the favorite part hunting birds and small mammals for food, the life was awesome for them but they were forgetting that life without education is like DARK MATTER 90% of our universe is dark matter only the brighter side of universe is known to everyone not the dark matters, despite his parents knowing about the school bunking they weren’t really bothered, they were more occupied and interested in their own lives, they never once showed interest it their children’s future, we have seen lots of parents beating their children for not going to school but this did not happen with rocky and his brothers, they were beaten for silly things like not filling water, roaming around, playing too late, when rocky was 12 years his father and mother fought viciously and got separated, rocky father fled with another women and his mother left them also, rocky and his brothers were stranded not knowing what to do where to go, by now one would ask who is going to take care of rocky and his brothers well, Rocky’s grandmother took care of them feeding them with little money she earned, she was getting pension, one may ask for what this pension is given, Rocky’s grandfather was in British army in old days, he actually passed away due to kidney failure, he was a alcohol addict now you know the reason why he died, British counsel had started pension scheme for old veterans, every month Rocky’s grandmother collects this money and saves it for rocky and his brothers, one unfortunate day she had gone to collect this pension money, one the way home she had a tragic fall from train and passed away, this was a devastating loss for rocky and his brothers, due to this loss they thought they would never recover, who will feed them and look after them now, Rocky’s Elders brothers dropped out of school to earn little money to feed themselves and rocky and his little brother, this is how they lost their education, (story will continue)__________________________________________ (different story starts here)  rocky    this is when rocky met his best friend named Senthil from same street, they are like TIMON and PUMPAA from LION KING, they hardly fought because they had deep understanding of their friendship, whenever rocky gets hungry he will turn to Senthil who has fed him endless times, rocky will always be grateful to Senthil and his mother who have always been their when he was starving, Senthil’s Sister was rocky sister also, she likes fish, ever year during the monsoon season, the  cooum river gets flooded with the water released from chembarabakkam lake, Rocky’s house will be completely flooded with water since they lived very close to the river bank, during this period people will take shelter in government schools and nearby temples and churches, chembarabakkam is known to having variety of fish, once the lake and rain water gets polluted with cooum water the fish won’t be able to breath due to decreasing level of oxygen, eventually they have to pop out for breathing, this is when people with wooden logs and iron rods smack them on their head making them fall unconscious and grab them, some fish can weigh up to 10 kilos, this might be hard to believe since I am talking about Chennai Cooum But this is undeniably true. This technic of fishing can’t be seen anywhere except in few islands like ANUTA,

====Life has a teenager=== 

Rocky was not very interested in education in fact his school was not that equipped to educate people, people who have studied with him have only become house painters, drivers, office assistants, night watchmen. Since his family belonged to ANGLO INDIAN he is able to speak English which led him to better life then others in his street, most of the times he used to bunk school and roam around Small forests, bushes where he and his friends use to climb trees pluck mangos, tamarinds, tender coconut, apart from this he is a very good hunter, he uses slingshot to hunt down small mammals like squirrel, birds varying from pigeons, mynas, sparrows, using dry wood camp fire would be created and hunted mammals/birds will be roasted and eaten by rocky and his friends.

In his SLUM there was a man who used to own a pig farm, fact is the pigs will be roaming around the streets creating trouble for the slum people, often rocky and his friends will be called to catch and Slaughter the pigs to be sold (pork), to hotels, restaurants etc., only on weekends the pork would be sold to the street people.

Apart from Slaughter they also do Castration (removing the testicles) sounds strange isn't it?

Castration, the surgical removal of the two testicles, is a routine management practice for male pigs destined for slaughter. to know more on why this is done check this link
