Last weekend, Me and my school friends visited our alma mater. Our joy knew no bounds on seeing a huge growth in infrastructure of our school. Felt very proud! We were just strolling on the school corridor, visiting all old class rooms and labs. Felt good to rekindle all those memories, some are green and some are blue too. We did have few tough and bad moments during school days. Corporal punishment wasn't thrown off during those days. So poor souls we were!

Few interesting moments to look back,

All through the academic year in 1992, we were pretty much freaky, sporty type.  We used to play little tennis ball, notebook-bat, steps-as-stumps type of cricket on the class immediate vicinity. The last day after exams, we were little loud while relaxing. It kinda disturbed the other crews and the whole class were on top of benches in that evening ;) It's painful, but looks odd to see whole classroom standing on benches.

Those big sports grounds in the back of school are the places for Marches during Independence day and Republic day. Those one hour march show during the D-day needs lot of practice. The whole school will practice for the d-day with marches and drills for one whole month. Those are amazingly interesting days. Full of fun and scorching heat hit us too.

Lot of documentary movies were screened during those years. Ex, Gandhi live story, independence struggle, small savings, documentary on leprosy..... Those little movie breaks were always welcomed by the full crowd. We did collected lot of donation during Ayodhya Ram Temple fund raising, some other social and health donations.

For all achievements, School management used to give badges like First Rank, 100% attendance, School Pupil leader.... It was a fight of honor to get those batches! I know a friend of mine who used to wear 4-5 such batches on his shirt. Pride in his face is more than those army majors with those coveted valor awards....
