Our Father ,Who art in heaven "
“Something clicked!!!! School assembly with the boring quair????no no I have no intention to take you there -in front of that tall corridor on ground floor with a newly built stage in corner where we have stood years in line ,at times proving I have turned tall so deserve to stand at back ,and reality was standing at back was more fun ,as u enjoy the gossip there more easily ,comments of guys over principal or some teacher was better heard there …so here it started our day ….then check out who has come in class and whose absence is going to matter to us, Zero period time 4 sports, but most of average student like me, utilized it in copying homework..and then my super favorite PT period ,where I haven’t seen anyone ever doing PT (even when we are younger )we again sat gossip and saw ppl playing basket ball cricket or football , commenting on who did what ?who proposed whom,?who rejected whose proposal ?whose skirt is actually short??the latest fling ,the recent ditch ,the change of crush, yes the recent movie ,and at certain dangerous times THE TEST MARKS …which use to turn us white with fear ,question in mind “wud she(teacher) read the marks or just give away papers with that disgusting expression ,four columns in copy where we useto compare marks who scored highest in group ,and honestly in maths paper It was just the passing marks I alwaz prayed …….
As we grew topic of conversation changed ,observation also changed ,and with Tv serials like “school days ” “Just Mohabbat “and “hip hip hurray” ,expectations also changed !!!!!sudenly after our first boards when we all met for class eleventh most of the girls style changed ,either it was change of hair style or eyebrows done ,or some or the other thing but we realized we grew up .. teachers also treated us lil better during those golden 11th n 12th days .
At times I go to pick my mom from her School (she is a teacher in Virendra swaroop )while waiting for her to come I saw hoards of school dressed bees coming out with different expressions on face ,each face reminded me of some one from our batch ..Expression of winning, loosing, crying, sobbing, smiling, shy, naughty, fight, hurt, revenge ,jealus ,possessive,selfish ,happy ,sad,trust me each expression was practically visible on each face..Each one thinks themselves to be mature then ever before ,
I still remember it looked so pathetic to get up early take cold water bath, arrange 4 bag, and polish shoe, and in the way while cycling just remember ohh!!i forgot to bring my register, or homework is not done, then pray for absence of particular teacher so that one free period can be managed ,eating lunch before intervel, was a religion ,Falguni Pathak songs ,having one weak infatuations then accepting its not love ,fights for seat, writing name on blackboard ,and I a m sure that compass action from jo jeeta wahe sikander “chahe tum kuch na kaho “ was in mind of all at one or the other point of time ,During Winters whenever we drank water from the tap water use to flow out from our Blazers it was damn yucky ,and then the real pain ,taking out your bicycle from that place ufff !!!!!i always had to take favor and request someone to do it
The fear of not being selected in particular dance!!! ,ohh gawd I cried hours for it ,and I am sure many others girls accompanied me in sobbing and blaming dance teacher of partiality J what were the tension issues- “she is not talking to me ,he doesn’t even give me a look ,my marks are less, I stammered while reading ,e,t.c so much we had to talk ,just waited desperately for teacherto move out ofclass so that we can utilize those fraction of seconds ,having an affair is bad ,those who are like that stay away from them teachers and parents taught ,ok accepted but god knows why forbidden fruit are so sweet ,all our interest was in knowing whats happning between them ,who z dating whom and then with round table conference betting would they stay together ?????that was the future planning we were doing 4 others ….so many love stories ,one sided, two sided, triangular ….and few friendships based on mutual interstate be close to one u want be friend to her friend funda J
Liking someone is bad that parents and teachers dint say, so most of us did that (see we were so obedient)we liked some or the other who was whose crush was still a secret ,(truth and dare game came later on )A was crush of B ,,B LIKED C ,C liked D ,and D LIKED B and this strange cross crushes continued no one spoke so crushes got crashed !!!!!few songs and guys playing table on table specially that holy song , ”millennium guys u Rocked “Sports captain with that stern look “Punnet Bindra “-angry young man ,Few famous dancers like Rajat ,Gaurav ,Ravi e.t.c some beautiful girls who at times made us uncomfortable ,remember that match between 11th and 12th (when we were in 11th) and we won,12th girls cried .and we were mad and dancing like we won world cup !!!!!!in 9th there was a night camp arranged by peter sir ,few of us were there ….that visit to old house that made most of us sentimental and emotional ,Fight with U P Kirana ,mowgali water park fun lot many to talk
Butterflies in stomach ,loss of earth ,Goosebumps at someone’s sight ,justa pass by meant a lot during those tender years …just a mere wish to talk with some one but cud never dare .First crushes are first we all know how they are !! , ups lots of secret being reveled today but its fun ,isn’t it ?????
By the end of the day loose tie,socks gone down ,shirts out sweating we got back home wishing to be out of this cage one day and now we are and ironically we miss that cage .We all had different plans ,different ambitions ,but life had its own plan and finally it made us do what fate decided and we are happy Thanks to facebook that ,the introvert Shy Girl whose presence or absence was not much noticed is taking u back to those forgotten lanes ..and I am sure you are loving it and wanna add much more …to it
