Its still afresh in my mind the picture of a small girl going to school in a neatly done White uniform and a Bob hair cut which is famous in those days. Carrying a small back pack with a slate, slate pencil and a small book inside it unlike nowadays, even Infants are carrying a minimum of 3 kg weighing bag. I used to pester my Mom for right from getting up to eating my break fast and having the milk to going to school though they always were futile attempts. Who can win agsinst the Mother's love?..
So then i did start with Dad to school throwing a lifeless tata-Bye- bye smile to mom and grand ma while they were smiling and waving their hands till we went turning from our street end. Once into my world of fellow toddlers I even dint look back to wish my dad a Bye who was all the way looking at his daughter going inside the class room happily. I still remember that there was a small steel box I used to carry a single puri with sugar daily to school to have it in the break time. But after a few years my mom gave that box to Anjali aunty which dint come back to our home again. The first thing I felt hard to leave.
While getting inside the classroom I just glared back at my dad who was still standing there like a sincere student for that small moment. And I felt its my responsibility not to disappoint him so wished a Bye with smile filled eyes. In the classroom it was more of a fun with one or the other from my little group crying and my miss had to play a sweet mother to that kid. I felt that she is the most beautiful and kindest of all the women I know only next to my mom. I still can remember her smiley face every time when those thoughts just pass through my memoirs.
Everyday my mom used to come to take me back to home after the school hours. But on that day my uncle has come from our place and enthusiastic to see his niece as soon as possible he came to the school to pick me up.As we were all small my miss didnot allow me to go with a stranger and asked me if i know him.I didn't tell anything to her that it tested their patience for sometime.Finally i called him Mama so she recognised that know him and she let him take me with him to home.But after coming home i took all the chocolates and sweets he brought for me so happily.He was left wondering why is this girl was seem to be so alien to me a few minutes back and now so close. Right from that time the characteristics of my sunsign GEMINI can be seen clearly in me.(though not in all the ways)
After coming home its just fun and games everywhere with all the childresn (my friends) coming back from schools and assembling at our meeting point to start our most important works like playing, running and making our parents worried about our safety and also others safety.
There used to be very little worry about our studies and more emphasis was given to our health and hobbies. We were allowed to be in our natural habitat rather than being pushed to the tuitions and extra classes, that helped me grow the way i wnated to be with less tensions and more of fun-filled childhood. When i look back to those years my eyes smile at any time,My lips open up to talk about those days continuously and my mind is refreshed totally.Which gives me the energy to work for the hectic life that we are in. If given a chance i would like to turn these days schools to the ones we have studied in to make all the children bloom freely rather than being catalysed by some pesticides for temporary fame and happiness.
