Reminiscences of School Life

  26 March, 2016

Time. Flies. There was one day, when, I'd to wake up so early, to get ready for my first day at school. And then, there is today, when I finished my last board exam (Officially out of school now).

Back in nursery, reaching up till here seemed like conquering the Everest. What I fancied then, were my crayons, and my "beautifuls colourfuls world". Those rhymes that had to be accompanied by actions. ("Machchli jal ki raani h"). Those 'finger on your lips' moments. We were super-talented and participated in each and every competition.

There was hardly anyone who could recite the morning assembly prayers perfectly. All of us just randomly moved our lips for many years.( At least, I did). "Gooood Morrningg Maaa'aaam" "Light hasss gone"....Growing up had no effect on the elongation. Doing the homework was important. Being the monitor, was an honour.

Who'll not remember the infinite requests for, "sports period" ? The ones on the first bench had to invariably peep into the arrangement register and announce good news. All of us have that one experience of standing out after recess, we all had the same reasons as well, "Bell nhi sunaai di ma'am" "bas, aa hi rhe the". 

Then, there was a time, when we had classifications for friends. Secrets. Girl talks and boy talks. Your lunch-boxes and the stuff inside defined your status. Solah-parchi-dhhap, raja-mantri-chor-sipaahi, TDS. (You have to have played them, to know them)

The last two years, simply vanished to nowhere. It feels like just yesterday when friends called up for the tenth results. I made some really good friends. I had the best teachers in the world. I learnt multi-tasking :P I did all that I wished to. I made my place in the hearts of many.

To those who still have time to spend within the school, remember to do all that makes you happy. Give everything a try. In the end, you'll only regret the chances you didn't take.

One day, the bell shall not ring for home time. Make sure you create reasons to return to school before that. :)
