* And L-i-f-e Goes On... *

Eventually, from "nobody" I turned into "somebody". I'm dignified as the "Prefect" of the school (exaggerated). Though I'm naive to the duties and responsibilities of a prefect but I think I'd make good prefect :) since I never fear responsibilities. There are many(talking about classmates) who have begun to hold grudge against me as they couldn't make it and I guessed it from the hateful glances that they poured on me. Ignoring their indecency, I'm determined to fulfill my duties with heart and soul. And it feels awesome to know that you're contributing a part of yourself for the betterment of the school. The best thing is that although our English teacher scarcely know me, she recommended me for the post. Rest of the appointees were all chosen by their ex-class teachers. I'm highly obliged by her generosity.

As the pages of my life are turning over, I'm struggling hard to find the apt words to describe it. At the moment, it's messy. I've joined IIT coaching classes which will commence from the next week onwards. With the pressure of studies building up, I guess I'd really need to spend some time doing meditation to avoid any sort of stress. But I think It's going to be a lot exciting because I love to make new friends and enemies too. (kidding). After the post tenth holidays, I'm so inured to this joblessness that I doubt will I be able to get out of the intrigue once I enter it. But I know I'll manage like I always do. I'm both physically and mentally strong. At least, I think so:) Of course you cannot consider a girl, who has fallen badly from her bicycle thrice and still rides it, to be weak.:P

Yesterday, It struck me that I have developed an adhesion for our school computer lab. Is it because of the AC which makes us all feel cozy and and heavenly or the computers with net facility or our computer sir and that white board on which he draws all sorts of cumbersome diagrams to set the concept right in our broody heads. I've no idea! In computers, the theory part rattles our heads massively but the practicals are a cause for it's popularity amongst the students. There is a certain feeling of dignity that invade us every time we enter the computer lab. Mainly because only we(my class) possess the authority of working on the computers or studying the subject sitting in the lab since we are the ones who have specially opted for the subject, computer science. Besides When I study the subject, I feel as if I'm getting a grand opportunity to learn about my own computer.

 Lately, I befriended two of the craziest girls of my school and fortunately they are my classmates- Snigdha and Shravya. These girls are always upto something mischievous. They are brainy and yet so much fun to be with. I truly appreciate every single moment I spend with them. They are so much full of life that they can drive anyone crazy. I've come across so many morons that I certainly needed someone like them, to add trills and frills to my monotonous and dull life. I just love their frivolous attitude and jolly nature. They are highly infectious and no one can match their spirit. One can get high in their company but cannot be put off when they are around.

Though life seems a fuss at times but I still love it:)

|- Rejection Overruled -|

Right when my hopes were too high, i had to bite the dust. In spite of speaking so well, the post of discipline captain slipped off my hand. It was our english subject teacher who was responsible for appointing the school captains and till yesterday I was being constantly reassured that I'm to be the discipline captain. But God knows why and how, at the last moment, she felt a need to consult other teachers too who patently prompted their ex-students to stand for the school captaincy posts. So naturally, I had to settle with no post. Though I had the potential, the desire, the sincerity, the fire in me, they just neglected it, neatly laying forward two of the thinnest excuses - I'm new to the school and I've opted for science and cannot afford to miss science classes. But they did selected some as appointees from my section who were specially summoned just because they have been in the school for a longer duration. But I reason where were these students when the first time, selections were being conducted i.e when we were asked to prepare a speech. Alas! It was unfair on their part.Perhaps what happened was all destined and I loath the fact that destiny cannot be repealed. I'm using the word "destiny" to express my helplessness in this situation.

I was put off when I came to know the results, but then the classes of maths and physics held today, saved my day. We had the most hilarious sessions today. O' Gracious! Maths can be real fun at times especially when teachers in an attempt to make students comprehend the concept, hurl the absurdest and whackiest examples and then the whole class bursts into laughter. These are some momentary laughs that actually count, since they sow the seeds of unity among the students. And yes! A hearty laugh can release all your tensions. I experienced it today:)


So far, I've realized that some of the girls of our class certainly need attitude adjustment. They portray themselves as happy flocks of people but bear grudge against one another. Ah! they'll have a nice and sweet talk with you to get their job done. how mean is that!? Now I'm not uttering all this because it had happened to me but on the basis of what I have observed. They often try to crack the funniest jokes ever and end up losing their dignity in my eyes. What they certainly need to learn is to respect others. If you are a good speaker, you must learn to be a good listener too. Maybe I've mistaken them but I'll try to bring out their inner self and then judge them and in fact, I'll have to be judgmental in order to make everlasting friends.

I L-u-v Physics! ;)

Woah! Either Physics is truly interesting or our physics sir has influenced our minds conspicuously that we have literally begun to love this subject. The first lesson had certainly scared us out of our wits as it comprises the names of all the prominent scientists and their phenomenal inventions or discoveries which are to be learned for the exams. Since the first lesson consists of myriad discoveries of various scientists, our physics sir had told us to read it on our own. The bomb dropped yesterday when our physics sir had brought with him Mcq test papers which were to be decorated by us - "It Was A Surprise Test". Thirty questions and four tantalizing options for each Q. I could feel my face perspiring at its fullest. It was apparent that no one had even gone through that lesson again. So the aftermath was quite predictable. No one could cross the score of 15\30.Well, I got 14 and was still proud of myself that atleast I was sure of some of my answers.Just kidding! It was rather quite embarrassing.But due to the test, we came to know some of the most interesting facts like the scientist, Michael Faraday had made 16401 discoveries--- Isn't that stupendous!! and Madam Marie Curie won Nobel Prize twice in the field of physics and chemistry:).
            
Anyways, being pcm students, we end up falling in love with these subjects.The deeper we probe them, crispier we find them. But I must mention my physics teacher here. He has a disposition of an angel. He never scolds us even when we sometimes find it tough to zip our babbling mouth. His way of teaching is remarkable. Though our computer science sir and chemistry sir are also laudable. But we are more inclined to our Physics sir! :) Our english ma'am is the frankest teacher I've ever come across. By the way she reminds me of my ex maths teacher, Shanmugam ma'am. She's quick in whatever she does which is very impressive.

Now let's talk about my new classmates. Boys have made a habit of flocking the school if any of our subject teacher delays coming to the class. Girls get up from their place and cluster around a single bench and begin gossiping, actually twittering. Well, our class is flooded with boys, Girls are only eleven and the strength of the class has already hit the half century. Majority of girls have opt for commerce and bpc, which make me feel disgusted as to why girls ignore the subject, maths like the plague. Then there are these two girls who sit in the bench behind me whom i call my good friends, possess a very silly habit of throwing cheesy comments at each and every thing. I sort of despise their cynical attitude and when they go beyond a certain limit, I feel like yelling "Stop It, Guys!" But i guess that would create a very awkward situation for all three of us. So to avoid that, i swallow my wrath several times. Otherwise once I start off, no one is spared. :P

Yesterday I had golgappas with my friends after ages. They were delectable.:) Then we meandered the streets of my colony, shared our felicity and agony about the assignments that we get after every two days and the homework that suck out the enjoyment from our lives, then pulled one another's leg which is customary and finally made way to our houses. It was nice seeing a friend after so long.(talking about Sahitya) I miss her. :(

So, I'm contesting for the post of school discipline captain. We had to deliver a short speech today on what all we'll do if we are selected for the posts we have applied. No one was prepared as such, since we were to be interviewed on monday. But each of us tried hard to persuade the teachers though some of them lacked the power of speech. All my classmates affirm that I'm the most deserving candidate but I just hope that only positive comes out of it. Results will be declared on monday. If i don't get this post, I'll be disheartened.:( Let the things work out their way, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed! ^_^

Nostalgia :'(

Again! a new school with a set of new teachers and a fresh bunch of classmates. Though I have seemingly befriended all of them, but a part of me still feels reluctant to lay itself bare before them. Because I doubt whether they'll be able to identify with me or will they just turn a blind eye to my state of being . Now that I'm accustomed to such changes in my life, this time, I've tried to be more tactful and soft-spoken in the new surroundings. Perhaps because I've become more fragile that I don't want to invite hatred for me in hearts of others and wreck the two years that I am to study in this school. But I know that sooner or later, I'll forge a strong unbreakable bond with this school. The word "new" will soon lose it's meaning in midst of laughter and rejoice. I hope KVT (present school) has loads of adventure and fun in store for me.:)

Yesterday, I visited my previous school( Army School, R.K Puram) to deliver a token of thanks to all the teachers who had taught me last year. I had studied 8th, 9th and 10th grade in this school. I remember when I had first stepped into that school as a new pupil, I had experienced a wave of anxiety through my nerves and at once, was diffident to accept the school and every object that belonged to it. But this time, it was entirely different. As I tread step by step in its vicinity, I was awestruck. I went to the senior block and talked to my ex classmates and told them that I'll always miss them and will never forget them. Ah it felt as if I was back to my second home again but the respite was short-lived when I realized that I don't belong to this school anymore.I recollected  the days when we (my classmates and me) would yell at the top of our voices forcing the teacher to grant us a free period, when we were made to stand on our benches because we had come late to class after the games period, the fuss we used to create while searching for a pencil box or a geometry box or muttering all the answers aloud before the commencement of a practical exam and other exams, cracking the most hilarious joke or asking the silliest doubt when the most serious topic was being discussed. Recalling these unforgettable memories, I was filled with bittersweet emotions that were tough to overcome. Then I proceeded to meet all the teachers, they were all so delighted to know that I've not forgotten them and have come to express my gratitude towards them. At that moment, I felt an urge to cry and show them how significant they had become in my life. But I held back these emotions as I did not want to bid them farewell with tears of helplessness. With a heavy heart, I retreated home. Throughout the day, I was lost in my own plight with no one to share this feeling of solitude that shrouded me. This school will remain embedded in my heart forever. Of all the teachers, I want to show my reverence to Kamala ma'am, Pushpa Rao ma'am, Shanmugam ma'am and Meenu Sehgal ma'am who enlightened me with the power of knowledge.

Before Joining AS R.K Puram, I used to study in AS Bolarum. the school which had polished my skills. I joined AS Bolarum in third grade, my journey in this school has been magnificent and terrific. This was when I had met my first bestfriend in the city, Priyanka. Just like me, She was also new to the school. We were instantly drawn to each other due to the fact that we were so alike or may be because we both were new to the school and shared the same feeling of uneasiness. Her handwriting is just like mine which was quite astonishing to me as well as others. It was like we both were born with excellent monitoring skills and that we both made an brilliant pair of monitors. We were even called upon the stage and were gifted with an applause from the whole school for being the best monitors. Ah that was one of my best days. In fifth grade, we(Priyanka and me) won our class the tag of the best disciplined-class in the school. At that time, Jyoti ma'am was our class teacher. She's a teacher with ultimate intelligence and wits. She would spend most of her time honing our skills and always pushing us to do better. Our Arts sir, who would always accompany us in each and every drawing competition, boosting us up and when we lose, cheering us up. Ah he was adorable!:) I had no idea when 6th and 7th grade flew off, perhaps we were too occupied with our syllabus or making arrangements for the class party or break-party!;) My heart still yearns for those parties.:(

Alas! I wish I could turn back time. I feel so nostalgic at the reminiscence of those days. But I know that no one can defy time. It will never halt or rewind itself. We are just humans that get swept away with the invisible tide of time.But memories are always there to stay.
