KOLLAM: It was a moment of triple joy for the couple Shiji Santhanam and Reena when the SSLC results came. Their triplets born in 2002 have come out in flying colours with all A+ grades. Arsha R. Shiji, Ardra R. Shiji, and Archa R. Shiji celebrated sharing sweets at their ‘Avittom’ house in Karikkode here flooded with phone calls applauding them.
Mr Sanathanan is working as a system analyst with the Public Service Commission office in Thiruvananthapuram while their mother is a housewife. “I feel proud of my daughters. They used to maintain a good track record throughout their academics. They had attended the exams well so that we expected A+ for all the subjects,” the proud father told DC.
The triplets who have shared the same bench in all their classes are students of TKM Higher Secondary School in Karikkode. They studied in ICSE syllabus until Class VIII and later moved on to Kerala board. Apart from attending a tutorial college nearby, they were given individual tuition for math, which was relatively difficult for them. Arsha, Ardra and Archa, who have brought triple victory to their Peroor village, look forward to joining science batch for Plus Two.
