¥ Adieu, School Days ¥

Woah! I did not realize when my school days flew by. I remember my first acquaintance with the word school and how I was literally dragged into one while i screamed and cried my eyes out all the way, begging to let go off me. I was basically a mommie's girl, consequently I had come to hate the sight of the school primarily because of the homework and the fact that I could not stay away from my mother for more than an hour and we were caged within the four pallid walls under the nose of the teacher. The scoldings and batterings were frightening enough to keep me rooted to the ground and sincere in everything that I scribbled in my notebook. But then, I made friends with my classmates and would share my food with them during recess, play and swing together and borrow writing stuff. Eventually the word school endeared itself to me since friends were comforting during panic attacks and the thrill caught hold of me :)

Gradually, the fear of school elated. I would sit in every class prepared for any sort of bittersweet experience but some teachers were always ultra-sweet and were instantly be liked by everyone. Those were the teachers who would fill our notebooks with remarks like a "good" or a "star" and others were scary enough to send chills down our spine during the correction of homework but the friends made life easier, they always do. :) Co-curricular activities were always exciting and fun because we had an amusing range of competitions in our school like "gift wrapping, Best out of waste, rakhi making, mono acting etcetra" and going to other schools for inter school competitions was always adventurous. I still remember how we were always inspired to take part in such competitions because participation is more important than winning, that's what they say. Drawing period was used to be everyone's favorite and G.K period was loathed by one and all. A free period was always replaced by a games period. Every class was filled with artists and nerds. The practice sessions and rehearsals  for Annual days and Sports days would keep us busy with exhilaration and perspiration for a month.

Till the time, we reached 11th and 12th grade, we started getting more curious and restless. Bunking the classes was a usual activity. This was the time when our bonds of friendship got stronger and the classes became more happening. I had some cool classmates who would always lighten up the mood during serious classes by leading the teachers astray from their topic by asking silly doubts and making us laugh under our breath. Group discussions would often end up as a battle of Panipat. Group studies were never helpful and were utilized in gossiping and discussing who is crushing on who. :D. Preparation holidays were rather spent of facebook-ing, hanging out with friends and texting. The teachers would always use Board exams as a sword to compel us to study. Right when we started taking our school days for granted, we were made familiar with the upcoming trauma of studies that will have to be faced once we step into a college. Now that the boards are over, It dawned on me that even my school life has come to a grieving end. Alas! It looks like the end of an era. Now I await the beginning of a new phase ..
