I woke up at 10:35 when my sister rang me up… was merrily sleeping as it’s raining outside and it’s a holiday today..
Had my breakfast and tea… looking at the window, started to recapitulate those rainy school days… (used to be good excuse for escaping the classes
)
Then i went more and more into the past… These thoughts came randomly into my mind:
> Feeling proud to see my paintings in the principal’s office.
> Making sketches of Great historic persons and monuments for mom’s school gallery..
> Making huge Taj Mahal sketch for my history project in 7th std (for which I got 40/40)..
> Rememberimg Jyoti Mam (History Teacher) who would be missing me the day i will
be absent in the class..
> Sudha Mam (Chemistry Teacher) and Malviya Sir (Maths Sir) waiting for the one who
comes first for getting the class work checked (me or indrava)..
> Girish Sir (Bio Teacher) predicting abt the future of shinjan (Sr. Engr, in DSP tech.now)
namrata ( Heart Surgeon now) and myself.
> Remembering Prakash Bhaiya (the well known painter of K.V.1 Gaya) for his splendid
art-work.
> Mandal Sir (Physics Teacher)- appreciating me for my understanding in physics, in
front of the whole class..
> P.N Ram Sir (Chemistry Teacher) – once said, “Knowledge is nobody’s ancestral
property”… made organic and physical chemistry a real fun..
> Musafir Sir (English Teacher) – once told in general, “Science w/o practical is
nothing”… Taught us humorous ways of remembering difficult spellings.. e.g diarrhoea
can be remembered as d-i-a-r-r–hoea .. hehe..
> B.N. Pathak Sir (Sanskrit Teacher) – proudly gave me 100/100 in 9th std., though after
that i never studied Sanskrit..
> Liked the diversified K.V. culture where students from diff nook of the country come
for study..
> Playing for Kho-Kho tournament used to be very exciting those days…
> Remembering P.E.T Sir who would be distributing Glucon-D to all the participants at
the break
> P.K. Sarkar Sir (Art Teacher), who would directly come to the black board and start
drawing without saying anything.. You can’t imagine his imaginary world..!! He is still
among my Fav. Teachers.. It was really very exciting and worth praising, catching his
perceptions on the board and we’ll all try to copy his piece of art on the paper.
> Shakti Mam (Rhyme teacher)- singing and playing with us.. (that was in std 1-2.)
> Annual Sports meet – holding 3-4 cups in my hand, going home proudly!.. some
foreigner snapped me on the way once.. hehe
> Playing in the physics lab with potentiometer, magnetometer and spherometer; screw
gauge and vernier callipers.. was also a kind of fun..
> Making Tea, coffee and sharbat in the chemistry lab.. who’s gonna forget abt those
days..
> Playing LUDO and Carom with Mom and Sis in the summer afternoons .. was soo cool..
> Going on tour with family and dad’s colleagues.. playing Antyakshari in the train,
sharing the edibles, pulling legs of one another.. hehe
> Jumping from the balcony grills.. Climbing the Guava tree…coming home with
bleeding knees… and then applying dettol and handiplast on the injuries… was a real
fun for me
and then stitching my shoes lest mom will scold for tearing the new pair..
> Watching army officers playing golf on the way to school… liked the greenery of those Golf courses very much …our school was in ASC (Army Services Corps) Center near the airport..
> On the annual day, getting awards for the “Winning House Team” and other cultural activities from the Brigadier Ma’m was really rejuvenating..
Sigh……these are some of the greatest moments of my life
