Perumal and Annamalai of Isha Vidhya
Vanavasi are ardent archers. It all
began when older Perumal chanced
upon some students practicing archery
at the school campus and tried it for
fun. It soon became a serious pursuit
and he went on to win numerous prizes
at the district, state, national, and
international levels.
Annamalai also took to archery because
he was inspired by Karthikeyan, another
award-winning archer from the same
school. He too went on to win prizes
at the national and international
levels.
Though their parents couldn't afford
it, they wanted their sons to study
well. Their dream came true when their
children joined the Isha Vidhya school
with scholarships. For them, the
nutritious midday meal was also an
added attraction.
The siblings are inseparable; they
walk to school together, meet at lunch,
and constantly strive to excel for each
other's sake.
While Perumal, who is now in Grade 11,
has set his sights on becoming a
chartered accountant, Annamalai is in
Grade 8 and wants to pursue engineering.
