my SCHOOL life

MY SCHOOL LIFE

Sunday,July 15,2005.

hie,

it's been a year and more since our last day at school.Ya it's 'bout 5 months more than a yr,to be specific.February it was. Our last day at school.our very last day of school-life,our very defining moment of life when we face the world outside our small domain.And YES it WAS the very last day of our notoriety,our superiority,our togetherness(it were!!).Just those days did not last,but in the memories.They still tickle every nook & cons of us.
THE CENTRAL MODERN SCHOOL(barasat branch)
We have been studying(most of us) here for atleast 12 long long years,a few are studying for 14 yrs.,even.Every minutest corner of the school has been a part of our life,our growin up.The ground,where we not only played but went to whenever we had a conflict within us,the ground where we fell in-numerous times,with which we had the memories of so many bruises,that rare cut in the hand,that torn pant...But still it was the ground,OUR GROUND.The school building had it's attraction too,how small it may be,how congested the classes may be but we can still remember every single detail,& wud probably remember always ,'coz it's where we grew up,it's what is called a home away from home.The care of the ayah,especially Renu masi, even though she was so rough,of buri masi,of duttapukur masi,they still move in flesh and blood before our eyes.
And a few teachers,probably there are (& must be) more to whom we wud always be greatful.Head misstress(Bharti Sharma),Lila Miss,Aindrilla Miss,Satabdi Miss,Bhaswati Miss,Anita Miss,Sathi Miss,Sujata Bose Miss,Soma Miss,Miss Sarkar(she was our class teacher when we were at cl.1),Saha Miss,Piyali Miss,Suparna Miss,Mou Miss,Indrani Miss,Agnes Miss(though I never did any class under her),Rumi Miss(neither did she take any of our class,Comm.teacher)................
And a few friends who have been very close to me at some pt.(or even still now) of my life.Suman(Banglu) has been my friend for the longest time,even now.Other friends from class 1(studied from Nursery) are still very good,but reln. with Suman has been at a diff. level.And we have been friends for the FOURTEENTH YEAR!!!!Then there's Abhishek Roy(from the same class),Debdip Biswas(cl.3,no more connection,had left at cl.4),DEBRAJ ROY(cl.6,but we have been close from 7)[but we don't have any connection now,nevertheless i don't regret b'coz the happy moments we have shared will last 4 our life-time,atleast Mine],Twariq Elahi Al Quraishi(from cl.1,st. of TCMS from Nursery),Biswajit Ghosh(cl.6,broken,meagre contact),Priyanka Dutta(cl.9,very few contact but friendship is still intact[studyiing together from cl.6],very good understanding btn. us),Swati Saha(cl.9,but became closer from cl.11,very good friendship).I deliberately leave Avishek Bhandari,not because of anything else but 'coz we became closer friends from cl.11 when he was studying in another school(St. Xavier's)(we have been friend from cl.7).
I still Remember the first time I had gone to ""The Central Modern School"",for Admission Test.I had adm. test in two schools on that day.TCMS & Kalyani Public School.I don't remember anything else But there was a Qn. relating to Kites.I never knew That This School Is going to become an inseparable part of my LIFE.In class 5,I was to be admitted to another boarding school,but finally they called off the exam and changed venue to Bombay/Delhi.Probably that was Fate in the making.
Though it was not any of those HIGH PROFILE schools,nor even a very good school,but to me it's the best school i have ever seen.B'coz nowhere have I seen such friendly atmosphere,such a close teacer-student relnship,we were like their child & a few teachers,later in life, were like our very own sisters.Nowhere else is the st.'s opinion given more importance,nowhere is student life conceived as more of merry-making than mere studies.We were taught well,but effort was more on story telling methods than the force-feeding way,atleast till class Four.After cl. 4,the teaching went on to be degrading,but still there were those few teachers who by their infinite knowledge & daunting zeal wud make us forget all these worries.Even our Head-mistress had been absent only for 3 days!!(as I remember) till class 11,and that too starting from 1,this was the love she had for teaching.Only in class 12 did she take around 2-3 weeks holiday due to very poor health and pain in the leg.She was then replaced,temporarily,by her sister,Meena Miss.She was the librarian all through these years.Only when she was the HM could I know her real nature,I had a false notion that she was too rough and misbehaved.But those 2-3 weeks opened my eyes to a diff. Meena Miss,a loving & caring,soft from inside women who wud not allow anybody to loose hope.Her exterior only protected her inner soft Heart.
And how can i forget those chats standing outside the school and entering school just as the bell was to ring,even the road,the local people,the sweet shop selling our fav. jeeb-e goja(a form of fry that's sweet to taste,mainly sold in PURI,as it is the offering made to Lord Jagannath),Aachaar walaah,Jhalmuriwalaah...All these seem to be an integral part of the school.It was a diff life and now that we can have no more of it we miss it the more,the more,the more.Sometimes I feel had we never grown,had our school-life never came to an end,had we still been the same notorious gang,had we the teachers at their wit's end,Oh!what a life that wud have been.But after all,nothing stays for long.And yeah,that's the stark truth.

How I miss those golden days,if we could have all the friend's together at the school and we could enjoy the whole day as we wished without any bars or whatsoever.A day to relinquish all the happy moments that was part of our school life.Just ONE day wud then have seemed to be a life-time,a life might that day itself wud have been.It's not that I don't have contacts with those friends but still a few keep missing.Their,however small it may be, part in our life is felt only when we miss them.
How I miss Debraj,Debdip,Jumun,Sonu,Dipendra,Dipendu,Aparajita,Parijat,Aditi,Meenakshi,PriyankaChatterjee,Nafisa,Anil, Subhadeep(both,Sc.+Comm.),our group of Twelve(class) enjoying together{Anirban,Suman,Twariq,Suman(Banglu), Swapnendu,Kaustab,Baudhayan,Dibyajit,Dipendu,Swati,Rituparna,Promita,Santanu,Sumon(Joga)& me}.
Ahhh!It sucks like hell !!

You're The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!

by C.S. Lewis

You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed
quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell. Now it
seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed. Soon there will be an epic
struggle between two forces in your life and you are very concerned about a betrayal
that could turn the balance. If this makes it sound like you're re-enacting Christian
theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust
in zoo animals.

29 jan the ex-school `FETE

Hie, friends!
hellllllllllooooooooooo
It was a great day,today!i enjoyed it ffuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy
Today the 29^th of jan. was our ex-school's(i.e.,we are ex-st. now),ANNUAL EXHIBITION cum CARNIVAL.
**The Central Modern School,Barasat**
Yeah it's my school and i love it very much not b'coz it's where i grew up but it realy was a home away from home,really REALLY.Met a few very old friends, one i had met during the ISC(board exams of ClassXII),another one, when i had appeared for my ICSE(i.e. exam for Class X).Yeah we had expected many more friends to come but unfortunately only 10-11 st. of our batch had come.We were guilty for this ,too, b'coz we didn't inform those we had contact with.A few others are busy with their study,some are outstation for studies,and some are so horrendous that they feel boring to come to school and attend a mere FETE.
GOD only knows what they are worth!They don't love to go to their own school where they have grown up, and rather prefer their cozy home, and their pc or roam around with their ex-to-be BF/GF(this refers to those foolish-guys/gals who would be within a few days converted to"WE ARE ONLY GOOD FRIENDS" & BF=boyfriend,gf=girl f)
Whatever, we were welcomed at the gate by our very close Ayah(maid servant)Renu Mashi,a junior section teacher and our Princie's Sis who is also the Librarian.We were given a pen and there were other prizes to win,too.like the hourly lottery;on the basis of your card no.,then there were other prizes too for the one having the longest necklace,the highest heel,the longest hair,the max. no. of credit cards,the max. no. of fare tickets.......................
We met our teachers and even pulled their legs;NOT LITERALLY ofcourse.we asked them many Qs. only to baffle them,but they too have got accustomed to our habits!!Even We got an invitation from one of our teachers[Bio-teacher BHASWATI Miss] to attend her marriage ceremony to be held around April!!!!!!!!!!!!!Then there was Moumita miss(?i hope so,she hadn't taken any of our Bengali classes and had joined around Two months b'4 we left)Oh! she is jolly OK but she was so muh desperate i didn't know!! When She Heard That I was Free And Had No One In My Life She Started Searching for a partner for me,Bhaswati mam was telling that actually i had none to be called permanent , all i had were for time pass!!!
Moumita mam(?) finally brought me a student(0 girl ofcourse) and said why are u standing here where are the others and then pulled my hand and took me towards the others,actually she wantes to show her to Nafisa, she is my friend and had asked Moumita mam to show her.
But Ooooooops! I knew her from b'4 (her=the girl);i am not naming her for anonymity.She ie 7 yrs smaller than me, and i had known her since she was soooooooooooooo small & her mom too knows me.And More han Anything I Had Brotherly affection 2wards her,so nothing rew up.
I was thinking later, was that a prank she played to fool us????????(O! she is Moumita mam ).
Then Hindi teacher,i must confess now that this was one teacher whose name i never knewfor i never took hindi as my optional subject,i read it as lon as it was ompulsory to read it not b'coz it was bad/hard/boring,no none but b'coz i liked rather loved Bengali.This is the language of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath,Oscar winnerSatyajit Ray,Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay,Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose,.........................................
Sorry for taking away so muh of your time
She asked me how i am and about my whereabouts,O! and then suddenly asked did i recognise her?Is This A Qn???I said no!but with a laugh...she replied "now u recognise us,baad mein to bhool jaaoge"(u will forget us later)
I don't know would that be the fate to my school life and all those who are related in this SL,I JUST SAID" do i recognise, now?".She said"yes".I said"this will hold true all my life"

*Yeah I wud love not to forget anybody, whatever may be his part in my life*

And then there's the big surprise !!

OK I will publish it later it's late night now i must go.
