" Students, The most enjoyable period in your life is the one that you spend here in the school. I am sure you will never realize this now. And by the time you realize it you would be already out of it. “This was the statement that one of my teachers used to make quite often. It's really true, personally I feel that to be the best time of my life so far and will be even after years. And I thank god that I realized what she said when I was doing my 8th standard. Though late it was not too late.
I have always had hatred towards being Nostalgic as that makes me very sad reminding me the good times I had in the past which I miss very badly these days. Though my mind knows that life keeps changing but my heart still longs for those cherishable moments of my life. Though it makes me sad it also brings in a little smile into my face when I think about those days. Here I am getting into the past trying to bring in a smile into my face. Hope this takes you to your childhood as well.
I can remember those days when I used to sit in front of the bike on the Petrol tank with my Dad riding the bike with Mom in the pillion and I used to keep pressing the horn for no reasons. Of course I was so tiny those days to fit in the tank and not as huge as I am now. Days when I used to sweat like hell playing after the school days with my neighbors and attend Karate classes and I have to hear from my Mom for spoiling the clothes.Being in the strict family watching TV is not that easy you know. I and my sisters used to run to the TV once my parents were out and watch those stupid programmes that were relayed those days in Doordarshan. I keep laughing when I think about those idiotic movies and stuffs that we watched with risk of being caught by my parents. I even used to peep through the gap in a Double leaf door to get a glance of the score that my Dad is watching in the other room without anyone’s knowledge. I used to be mad about cricket those days to such an extent that my Dad asked me to watch the Semi-Final between Sri-Lanka and India in the Eden Gardens telling me "You are not going to study even if ask you to today and you will keep thinking about the match so it is better if u watch and then study, so that u will be able to concentrate on what u do then". I have been caught twice for peeping and you can imagine the scolding that I got from my Dad for that, thankfully my Dad never used to beat me and he only scolds me for all the mischief that I have done so far.
Well thinking about the mischief that we have done in my School life the list kept growing like a Great Wall of China. The list includes all kind of Mal practices in the Exam Hall , flicking others Lunch ( Including teachers ) , Flicking Question Papers from the office room , Playing Hide and Seek during the Night Studies in the School , Baiting everyone including Female staffs, fighting over silliest issuesetc.... One of the Staff complained to My Dad and I will never forget that day for obvious reasons.Days when we used to go to School with uncompleted homeworks and standing out of the class and the canning that we used to get from our PT MASTER for coming late and for violating the dress code are still something that I miss badly.And not to forget the way we use to sight the girls even the seniors and some staffs and those A jokes , 3rd rated language that we learnt and numerous other stuffs so early.
And the list goes on. All I can do now is sit and relish those Lovely moments. Some might be so stupid and childish but still brings happiness to the heart. And when one asks what’s wrong seeing your blank face all you do is smile and say "NOTHING" I have gone through both the Positive and the Negative side of the life during this period.I thank god that I haven’t missed the most Blissful period of life being a studious person.
