Hey is there anyone out there who can give me competition on my schools…
I'll explain everything but let me name them first in the order of my joining them..
Saraswati Sishu MandirI went to this school for my pre-nursery… and I was fond of putting nail paint then..!!
Actually this is all I remember…
And I also remember that once my father had forgotten to pick me up from school and
our landlord had helped, by sending two strangers to pick me up… my teachers asked me
to go with them…I was crying very loud..and they stuffed a lollipop into my mouth…and I
was distracted until I reached home, perched between the two strangers on a scooter.
(Humara bajaj..!!!)
Venketeshwar English Medium SchoolHere I studied my nursery and L.K.G…I remember the drawing exam, the question was to
draw an apple and the teacher drew it on the board for us to copy..!!(I love that teacher
& all the teachers should learn from her how to actually guide students). I remember going
to school on a bicycle with our servant till he worked for us…I lost a bottle green coloured
water bottle while going to school with him..then I went on a tricycle… One day after school
I refused to return home to my rickshaw wala and went to my friends home(her name is Liza, I
wish I could be in touch with her, I wish she remembers me too)..her mom was petrified to see
me with her and asked me if I could show her the way to my home…I very confidently answered
that I could…she brought me to my house and next thing was, my welcome with a grand slap from
my grandmother in front of the gate..!! Since then I don't go anywhere after school/college and
come home directly… And one more funny thing, then, I used to stare at my class teacher who
used to gulp down dahi-bara aloo dum with real envy…I was very fond of junk food then and I only
got fruits in my Tiffin box… Poor me..!! What say?
St. Lawrence SchoolHere I studied for one year only..that's my U.K.G… Those days my school was neighbouring my house,
the sisters(nuns) teaching there were very fond of my kid sister(she looked like a bundle of joys…she
was adorable…I am proud of her..she used to smile always…she never got tired and loved tomatoes..
Do you believe it??...it's a secret bond that my sister and holy sisters shared..!!)… Our school had a garden and they'd tomatoes grown in there…so sisters used to send a lot of tomatoes for my sister(MIT)
My ma pickled the excess tomatoes…and I used to take it for my friends and sisters(one of the sisters,
Sister Mary, I guess that was her name. And she was very good-looking and a heart of gold..really..).
Kendriya VidyalayaHere I studied the first standard and half of the second standard… I walked everyday to school
with one of my senior(Mamuni Apa)… My milk-tooth had started to fall..
Deepika English Medium SchoolHere I completed my 2nd std, 3rd and 4th… it was in this school that I cheated for the very first time…
It was the social science exam..!! It was here that I played snow-white in a skit… and made a very close
friend called BG…I lost touch with here as soon as I moved to this new place…
De Paul SchoolHere I completed my 5th and 6th grade… I found good friends in a group of girls(we called ourselves detective pink girls-DPG)…that time there was much hype about the colour pink…I was DPG-4… the names of my girlfriends were - Sana, Soup, Simi, Kari & Chandni… I loved these girls… and all of them are in touch except chandni.
It was here that I found(now lost) my 1st ever best friend(my BF..I use to call her that)…those days I
couldn't imagine life without her…till now I'm not clear of the reason of losing her… she posted me back all my letters, which I had addressed to her… I left them on my cupboard when we shifted to a new place…I couldn't throw them…I wish I could find those letters to just find out what'd I written there that annoyed her so much…really..!! My loss was someone's gain… she's soups BF now…I'm happy..really…because soup is one of my closest friend…I loved Simi and I still do… ok… I'm getting nostalgic…AAAAAAAA…
St. Joseph's Girls High SchoolHere I spent four good years of my life… found my pals for life & 2nd(appu-lost) & 3rd(AM-for lifetime) BFs included…I had three crushes here, out of the four(so far..). Me and my girl gang consisted of-
AM- my BF(best friend), parul, rachu darling, pinkudi, nammo-the hottie….we used to have our lunch under a tree(now it's cut-STOP CUTTING TREES..!!)…It had our memories…other pals for life(who didn't have lunch with me but are close to me) are- susmin and zoya… I remember birthdays of all these girls by heart… don't laugh…I really do…now I remember pinky's also…11th Apr… I love them all..and I'll kill them if they don't invite me on their respective marriages…!!
Kendriya VidyalayaI passed(HINT-this word has it's importance) my 11th & 12th std from this school…my life here was very controversial…I was famous for quite the wrong reasons(which I wasn't responsible for and I mean it).
I didn't do anything wrong... I made friends whom I trusted(blindly)…I do this now also…but of course I choose my friends more carefully now… I'm a number 9 and Gujarat vibrates on number 8, so maybe our vibrations didn't match…and I ended up having a life full of testing times(it made me a better and stronger person tough..!!)…
Chaddha sir was my favourite teacher… Aayisha was the girl I liked in class…I'm in touch with her..and I'm also in touch with Dr Arpan, Er Yash, Er Adhi and Er Karan… I had a fatal accident on the 31st of Dec'06… while riding triples…I ate chicken biriyani that very night!..and only liquid food for the following ten days…ok..NEXT…
MY COLLEGE-TRIDENT ACADEMY OF TECHNOLOGY
I'm into engineering now…my first 15 days in the hostel were adventurous…the rest of my first sem, I stayed with my grandparents.. I flunked my 2nd sem math's paper…made new college friends..they are awesome…hope they help me maintain our friendship for life…!! That's all actually… I've still few years to go…and I'm enjoying every bit of it..!!
My father had a transferable job so I had to change school to school when he was transferred. It had it's good n bad effects. I socialized more and got to know different types of people and study them. My studies were a bit affected by all this. Sometimes ICSE toh sometimes CBSE. Friendships were more on temporary basis. I can't say "I've known her since childhood or maybe for 16yrs" for any of my friends. But whatever it is all these experiences made me whatever I'm today. So I'm so thankful to all those people who came into my life and went, leaving a mark on me forever(even if I don't remember them now)… Thank you all so much...
wow....great memories..!!!
