School life

OHH NO!!!! aaj bhi school……….hmmm mumma nahi jana…
Oofff yeh homework kabhi khatam hi nahi hota….
Ohh No. exam time table, abhi last week hi to the aur Diwali ke baad exams it means no celebration… this is not fair.
So do not these lines take you down to memory lane when we all were in school doing loads of masti but at the same time criticizing the system? Getting up early in the morning, daily studies, homework, punishments in school and all such things were not they vexing?
At times I and my friends used to criticize our school, its regulations and simply everything. We used to criticize our very own teachers especially some of whom were really partial and perhaps not fit to be a teacher. We used to crib at mess food (though I liked it). In our school every morning there used to be a prayer session of about 30-40 minutes, which was at times really harassing especially if you have to stand under scorching sun. But something I really liked were first the Prayer itself, which was composed by the school authorities itself, the thought session and not to forget the moral songs. Though a majority chunk never appreciated this but I did this. Then at regular intervals there used to be meditation sessions followed or preceded by some spiritual lecture series. This also used to be vexing for the students but somehow I appreciated them.
My school has taught me loads of things, besides giving the basic education. The sense of Yoga, meditation, feeling of spirituality and above all the confidence in dealing with the public is a gift to me by my alma mater. It was my teachers who instilled confidence in me so that I could become a good speaker. My drawing teacher provided me with basic skills needed in sketching so that I can become a good sketcher (I guess this is reflected by my sketches), the knowledge of language, the hand writing and various small-small things are a gift to me by my alma mater.
However sports were not very much appreciated in our school hence I am not good at sports. Still we used to play a variety of games especially Kho-Kho. Further the sports period was more of a chit-chat time for we girls and we used to enjoy this session a lot.
Our group was very big and indeed famous in school amongst students and teachers. We used to sit in one row, took lunch together, played together and simply enjoyed a lot.
We also named out group as “AAAA…..” Group because the names of everyone had “A” as the last alphabet (except one girl). I really miss those pretty fun filled days.
There was stiff competition between me and the topper of our class and we used to fight for quarter of marks also.
I remember as a child we used to be jealous of our elder siblings who were in college or had finished their studies. But when the final D-Day came I mean the Farewell eve, everyone was simply getting poignant at the thought of living the place where we have spent a major and the initial part of our life and the fear of starting a new life full of challenges and uncertainties. For me it was perhaps more difficult as because it was the only school I visited.
No doubt I will always miss my school days which were really amazing. Also the friends made here are precious. I don’t know how many of them will remain in real good contact and for how long but they are all my great friends who also taught me a lot many things. Some of the teachers are very dear to me and would never ever forget them.
Thanks to everyone who came in contact with me during my schooling and gifted me something very precious which perhaps I will never get back.
Hope this days come back once again!!!!
