School....Those were the best days!
I remember my first day at school when I threw a big tantrum, sobbing as though I was being abandoned permanently!
Little did I know I was going to a place where I'd meet some of the most fabulous people, have SOOOO many crazy things happening all the while and just have a different experience everyday!
Particularly after the 7th, school was different altogether! I made some wonderful friends, all the while upto some kidas !
I remember, once in the 7th standard, my friend, Neha and I did something really really awful!(And fun!)
In the lunch break, both of us quickly gobbled up some food and ran to the loo, armed with.....hold your breath....a fake lizard and a fake spider!
Our fake lizard was called "Lizzie" and the spider, "Taran"!
So, we went running up to the loo, trying to save as much time as possible, considering we had a very short lunch break...
We went and stuck Lizzie on the wall near the wash basin.
We then quietly stood outside, waiting for someone to turn up! There was a group of 10th standards, the typical Maryite, GIRLY type who came there. They walked halfway and on noticing little, innocent Lizzie, started screaming their lungs out! To add to the confusion, Neha flung Taran in the midst of them. That was just pure entertainment! The two of us had a laugh of a time, watching those sophisticated seniors, who usually bullied us, standing there and yelping for dear life!
Oh boy, we had soo much fun!
Teachers have always been on our list of "To Irritate". (But not the VERY VERY VERY strict teachers....)
People have always been imitating them and our batch was no less!
Of course, our philosophy has always been, "What's life without teachers to imitate?"
My school had some drawbacks as well...There was an awful lack of extra curricular activities....It was almost as though the school motto was "Study, study, and study a bit more!"
(not that I ever obliged!)
However, I already miss school and the lunch breaks in particular when we had pure, unadulterated FUN! I plan to visit it regularly too...:)
If I dint know better, I would have assumed after reading the blog that you graduated from school about 15 years back :-)
