Back to School

Nostalgia is actually a good thing. It helps you draw energy from your secret energy source, the good times. School was real fun. Teachers were heaven sent caricatures and classmates better at one-liners than the man Chandler Bing himself (and that is seriously some level). There are some things I can never forget and they make me roll onto the floor laughing even today

• Our Class 7 class teacher's classic statement: Some are over ambitious, uttered with a typical nasal twang
• Aditi's mimicking her Psuedo means false and poda means legs
  
• Trying to convince our Principal Sr Reji to free the school's pet pigeons (with Mangala madam's support, on a different note, her perfume was something though..the bell around the cat)
  
• Putting N fight to prepare dances and skits for the Bhopal Central Jail inmates as part of Dharam Bharti in Class 8
• The slightly bordering on adult commentary we used to rattle off during Buddha Charita and Mahabharat class readings
• Our homegrown Celine Dion's "We are working on it" when she was telling students about how her daughter has been pestering for a sibling
  
• The whole class punished to write lines "I shall be disciplined in class" a 100 times by Tresiamma mam and everyone competing for who finishes first
• The totally arbit prayer service on Dussehra with the Ramlila skit and Akanksha Tiwari's convincing Hanuman act
• Using orange pens to underline keywords for Bhattu's geography paper
  
• The various Venu-omous fiascos (She-who-must-not-be-named) in Class 10

I guess the list can go on...Miss those days, fighting with Jasmine over any and everything, Ritika squealing over Rahul Dravid (she still does that), Pragya's laughs accompanied by her really powerful pats that hurt, Abhisaar and her mimicries, Misha's chidiya fad fad karke udti hai, Aditi with her kali-kali songs, Aakansha's really really high pitched screams.. All of it..love you gals..
