Memories · School days

Money can buy you school admission but school time memories are priceless!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I was reminiscing the school days and so many happy memories came rushing back ……………………..

  • Canteen and bread pakodas with that yummy chutney,
  • Mrs Mathur and her famous 7″ high heels,
  • Anshu Mathur and his childish pranks,
  • morning assemblies,
  • house changing ceremonies,
  • playing “langdi tang” on the badminton court,
  • rushing from the examination hall to play – Mrs Mathur grabbing us and forcing us to review our answer sheet (and finding out , yes, we indeed missed answering 1 question),
  • Surdershan mam.
  • Girija mam,
  • Urdu/drawing teacher – Kashmiri Lal sir and his indiscriminate beating to whole class (and though scoring 99% – not able to read/write even 1 word of urdu)

…………………………… innumerable memories and priceless too 🙂

Can miles truly separate you from friends… If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there?

Can miles truly separate you from friends… If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there?
(Richard Bach)

Does geographical distance actually matter in friendship? Doesn’t mental nearness counts more than the physical proximity?

Recently got back in touch with few of my precious friends back from high school. … Manpreet (the sweetest friend I ever had), Rahul (craziest guy I have ever met) and Rohit (not possible to describe him in any words).

Ironically all four of us are in different parts of world so the face to face reunion seems distant possibility right now. But moment I got in touch with them, felt last 17 years distance vanishing in an instant. Felt had never lost touch with them and was able to approach them with same ease as 17 years back.
