My schooling - II

My fourth standard found me a new girl competitor. She was a beautiful brilliant girl from a minority religion of India. She is doing her studies in medicine when I am writing this blog. I liked her very much. I do not want to attribute any word like "crush" etc. as it was a very young age and I am quite bold enough to tell the same to the girl today. I would still like her! There are so many indefinable relations I have felt.

Fifth standard was a totally dark classroom. The classroom had a pigeon's nest and the classroom was always stinking. They closed windows always to avoid the birds. The bird would give some strange sounds and the class would burst into laughter. Many of our classes have got cancelled because of this reason. We would chant Bhagavad Gita in those classes or play some games. I am really having a very poor memory of these primary classes and this should be acceptable as it was more than ten years ago.

There was a boy in the primary school. He was quite a genius. His mother was a teacher in our school. He was consistently topping the class. Me and my friend always used to look at him with awe and also make fun of him. It never mattered to me as I never was topping the class.

Sixth standard, I was shifted section from A to B. In A section, the staff felt there was too much elitism and wanted to have it balanced in both the sections. The toppers were shuffled. I got first rank in my sixth standard first exams. After that what happened, I never secured first rank. B section was totally totally a fun-filled classroom. We started playing cricket regularly. Everyday in breaks, lunch and in the evening after school.

Sixth standard, the uniform changes. Boys wear full-pants. That gave us a great feeling. Boys were not allowed to use the school van service from sixth. But they permitted me as I had my sister in the KG. So what and all I did outside the school in those times. Let me continue in my next post. Will write soon!!
