Sometimes I want to beat myself out of such thoughts but MOST times I only wish I could live that way. I am finishing college in a year from now , yet I am still missing school and those people.

I spent 14 years in the same school. While in school I used to crib everyday. Now I realise, when we come out we only remember all the good things.

I am going to write down some of my best times in 14 years.

Hardly remember anything from L.K.G and U.K.G, but I met my best friends there. We grew up together in the same school all those 14 years.

I still remember, some time in 3rd std, one teacher walked in and sat on a wire chair and me and sangi could not help laughing at how the bottom of the chair went down.

All those stupid fights with girls and boys on things as silly as who sits with whom in the beginning of the year, learning bad words.

Our holy school was co-ed only till 5th so from some where in 8th boys from across the road(the Boys wing) were species who had to be drooled over.

In my 9th std I spent at least a fortune in buying munches for Vin on losing stupids bets. We used to bet on what Salwar the teacher would wear, who would be absent and such things-for lack of better things to do.

Apparently Biki-max ice creams don’t come any more but in 10th,11th and 12th, we used to eat that EVERYDAY. So yum and cheap in the pocket.

After 10th, I wanted to change school. But my mom insisted I Stayed back. Her decision was obvious considering the fact that her elder daughter studied 14 years in this school. That was also a problem for me because they all knew I  was HER sister. There were teachers who would say” oh you are her sister??? you are so naughty but”,” you are so talkative just like your sister”, “or even worse ” why can’t you score better when you have your sister at home, she will help you” . At such remarks I always wanted to say yeah right, why don’t you come home and see or so what if she was like that????.

To my relief I didn’t have such nagging comments in 11th because I choose commerce. Today, I am so glad I stayed back in the school for 11th. I met two of my most favourite people, best friends. If not for them and Sangi and Vin, I would have never survived those days.All those escapes to the “spare room”, constant bitching about the rest of the class, lunch with Sang and Vin were the best moments.

Everything changes after School. Days like today that make me want to go back to those days are the only consolations.

Éste es para toda mi gente especial de la escuela.(This one, is for all my special people from school)
