Those school girl days...


After much thought and discussions with my ol' school buddies I decided to give this a shot. Calling Kavi, Nili, Suri, Rupa, Debjani, Dahlia, Shyamasree, Indrani, Adi, Anindita, Deva...and friends, wherever you are. Let's see! I am trying to recall some of the sweet lasting moments I had back in school.
I am remembering those times when we burnt the midnight oil in trying to throw a cultural for our Sisters' Feast (and you thought for studies? Nah!). Hey guys, remember our hearts skipped a beat when we heard that we would be going far-away for an excursion (not far-away really, but who cares). Feels like Roman Holidays now!Remember, when Rupa saved my life (yeah trusted you for the Mathaboru-Rock-Climbing acomplishment) while climbing the stupendous rocks in Maithon. Remember our experiments with the compounds; with trembling hands when we held the test tubes for the first time, elated at the pungent smell of H2S, surprised to discover the 'Einstein' in us. Remember our freedom from the boring chemistry lessons when our teachers were busy strategizing something-very-important in the Staff Meeting room, wondering every minute what was really happening behind the closed doors as we kept ourselves entertained in minding the rest of the school. The world was placed in our hands and it was up to us how we managed it till we handed it over to the Home Secretary or someone like that. We did not mind at all, you see, as long as the teachers decided to stay behind the doors. Don't remember anyone who complained about it. It's such a flashback that I don't think I can do justice in one post. You know what happens when you open the floodgates. So, send in those comments if anyone's reading them from my batch. And yeah, I would have to post a lot many more. What do you say? Remember your happy memories outnumber the sad ones; so don't bring out skeletons from hidden closet, they will only leave us feeling sad and heavy. Any takers? Nili you promised this one!
