My friend, who
happens to be an active reader of my blog (probably the only one: P), suggested
I write about the school we studied together in. So, this blog is about my
school – BHAVANS SRI RAMAKRISHNA VIDYALAYA! It in fact talks about school life
in general.
I remember way back
during the school days, I used to hate waking up early in the morning. We had
to be in our school by 7.45 am to make it on time for the morning assembly. It
was mandatory to attend the assembly. If we didn’t make it on time we used to be
sent to the latecomer’s line - a line where the students received horrendous punishments.
But to be honest, we enjoyed being there.
To make it on time
to school, I had to wake up by 6 in the morning. Unwillingly wake up, dress up
to go to school, recalling all the previous day's homework that was forced upon
us all. I used to think to myself every single day, “Oh god! When will I grow
up?”. But now I would just do anything to go back to my school days, sit in my
classroom, play pen fights, flames and tic-tac-toe with my friends, and visit
our tiny canteen which has been our favourite place to visit in the school
after school playground. I'm sure there are a zillion other memories each of us
have with our school.
With our canteen uncle. :)
Remember when our
teacher was on leave and we got a substitute teacher? Yaaaay! Free period was
the best thing ever. And when our other subject teacher poached the free
period, we would be cribbing about it for the whole day.
Wearing casuals on
birthdays made us feel top of the world. The entire class singing ‘Happy
Birthday to you’, distributing chocolates in class and giving our best friend
an extra chocolate and taking them along to give chocolates to the teachers in
the entire school was undoubtedly the memory I want to relive.
Eating lunch before the
lunch break (interval is what we used to call) is something each one of us have
done at some point or the other. If not
ours, we would steal someone else’s tiffin box and gobble all of it down (under
the desk) and pretend as if we are listening to the teacher very carefully by
nodding and making serious facial expressions.
Remember the Games
of PE period well all had twice in a week? The best time ever. The day we had
our games period, our mornings would kickstart with a happy face. Summers,
winters, monsoons we just won’t care as long as we got to play.
And when we step out
of the classroom, there was no way we will not walk around the entire building
to kill some extra time. In fact, we would go to our friend’s classroom to get
them along with us too.
Teacher’s Day,
Children’s Day, Annual Day, Sports Day – Our school time would be incomplete
without these big celebrations. From decorating our classrooms to make teachers
feel special to practising marchpast for hours together for the sports day, we
all enjoyed doing every bit of it. Remember draping a saree for the farewell?
Haahha.. nightmare, isn’t it?
What’s the best part
of school life? Some would vouch for the great education, the great learning
experience, the knowledge sharing, and other such scholarly pursuits. But many
would admit that the best part of school life is all the fun one has. Hope this
blog took you on a trip down memory lane.
School life - the
innocent times of the past, times which would NEVER come back ever again!
Awesome. 👍😁
