Staff Reporter Recitation fails to reach expected standards, say judges KOCHI: Smrithi Sajeevan, student of class VIII student at AKG Memorial HSS, Kannur, who recited Sugathakumari's Enthu patti namukku, won the first place in the recitation (Malayalam) competition at the State School Youth Festival. Oru naal sooryan udichuyarumpol Vidarum chirakukal veeshi, Purathu vannu azhaku thudikkum Poombatta thaliraayi Vidarnu vilasum pani neer poovil Parannu pattyirunnu, Poovil thullum poovathu pole Poonthenundu kazhinju പല പല നാളുകൾ ഞാനൊരു പുഴുവായ്. Pala pala naalukal njanoru puzhuvaay Pavizha kootilurangi, Irulum vettavum ariyaathangane Irunnu naalukal neekki Arali chediyude ila thannadiyil Aruma kingini pole, Veeshum kaattathilakithulli Veezhathangine ninnu!!
