Memory

Its amazing how you can still remember certain events vividly.. Like things that happened to you in school and college.

I still remember some events from my high school times.Carmel School was quite an experience for me.I used to study there before I went to Delhi,so When I was back in Bengalooru,I decided to continue with Carmel.It was nice to meet old friends there-Vikas,Abhijeet.It was nice to make new friends,the fact that the class size was only 18 made it easier to know all the people in my class.Not all of them were close to me,but somehow I m able to connect to them even today.Its amazing how it was not a class, but a small group of 18 people.. Like Guinea pigs!!

I wouldnt be liking to change anything about my school days,not a thing.I know there have been incidents in my school which I could ve avoided had I not been so silly and gullible,but they all thought me a lesson.I still cherish those days.Its like I want to have a time machine that would transport me back to 2000-01!I wouldnt mind writing my ICSE boards again frankly!!

We were really lucky in many respects that we got to have a lot of fun.The main people responsible for that were the teachers in the school.I still remember how our English teacher would spare us the agony of sitting through her class with that "Figments of Imagination" book in our hand.She would let us play volleyball every class of hers!!Though I wasnt good at it,I sort of enjoyed the whole freedom that we got.

One of the best parts of school was the assembly at the beginning of the day and the cycling back after school got over.Assembly was a time for me to gaze my eyes to places where my mind would tell me to go! It was really nice to "sight"!! And because I did so many silly things in school,I would do it in the assembly at the risk of getting punished if I were caught.

Another nice part of the day was the ride back home.I still remember the group that used to cycle back home.I would cycle till the DG circle( Now no longer there!!) with karthik,abhijeet,vikas..
Kartik would make a left there.The three of us would continue straight.Vikas would keep going straight and I would go with Abhijeet.We would make a right and then we would tread along!!
We would either stop by at the "SLV" for by 2 "kesaribath" or go to the bakery for "apple cakes".We did it everyday for like almost 2 years.Investing 5 bucks everyday was something!!

The talk would be generally confined to Cricket,certain girls in the school... and maybe sometimes studies!! The cricket discussions were the best.. We would go talking as if we were some experts on the topic.I used to live in an area called banashankari then and Abhijeet used to stay in Jayanagar,further down,we would seperate then at a turning,with Abhijeet telling me to stop studying.. and other things..!!! It was really good!!

I hope my classmates are all doing well in their respective chosen paths.I am in touch with most and I know they are and I hope it will continue to be the same.

Miss u guys!!!
