Another entry about my school and college days!!! If u think I have gone foolish, then you must come and see me sitting in office now and weeping, gazing at my school and college pictures. 11^th and 12^th were the finest days of life. “Science boys and Commerce girls” was all each one had to discuss about when it came to the mischievous behavior of students in school. Those lab sessions, that hiding of shirts when guys played football, hiding under benches so that professor assumes no one is in class, locking up the door from inside so that teachers doesn’t find her way inside, hiding away their spectacles and their notes so that there is no ways they can teach us for the next few weeks, playing football in the class rooms and intentionally or unintentionally hitting it on the teachers head, breaking the glasses of crafts room, making plans to blow up Principals office on Diwali night but instead getting caught by a chowkidar with a mirchi bomb, trip to dream valley, Ramu (Maths teacher) running behind students who opened the buttons of his shirt, tricking teachers by changing names of some students (Parag to Maverick), bunking assembly and learning how to ride a bike, catching students for incorrect uniform and punishing them, those summer holidays and first light jogs, Srikanth making sure that none of us were absent and miss any of the regular work out, those cluster meets, canceling of football tournament and Srikanth ready to resign from the Head boy post, bidding farewell to our seniors by dressing up the boys as girls (Adrian being the sexiest of all), after the air show trying the same aerial tricks with cycles, locking up boys helmet in girls toilet, crushes on each other, sports day, going to Bombay Chat every evening after tutorial classes, getting punished for eating ice cream in class, hanging out in the cycle stand for hours after school till PT sir would kick us out, Parties at Parags’ house, asking PK to make his separate BOYS line (he was the only guy in Commerce section then), those craft sessions when we emptied fevicol bottle on Srikanths’ hairy hands which in turn gave him a waxed look, Bodhi doing Adrians duck walk, two faced NT, Deepak- Chandu and his cycle (poor Chandu was all black-and-blue every time he asked Deepak for a ride); Parag running in hot sun around the play ground to shed some kilos after everybody had left for home, Sam (The Rock Star) and his super bike and guitar, Vinu with flowers and Shudu with her 16 cards, Our obsession with learning Bengali, Sharma sir and his sad love story (where he got married to his lover), writing a note for sanam and throwing it out of the window, Kanth banging his head on the ceiling, Usha Ashok hitting on Bodhi and NT hitting on Parag and Deepak, Priyankas’ colored hair (Ma’am thought it was coz of lack of vitamins), Deepika and her most harmonious behavior, when Parag got all cranky coz I got the most studious student title, rivalry between NT and Banjo and Ravi fueling it even more, Keshav: Mamas' boy (he wouldn't even drink water from the tap coz his mom asked him not to and would cry in front of teachers) but was everybody's eye candy, Aarti and all her nautanki (when Sam hit a stone on her specs making a huge hole in it and she thought she had lost her eye), Vinu: with duniya bhar ka oil on his head, Akshay-Sandy-PK: the trio of Commerce section, Bodhi:with his exaggeration and sarcasm, and the best one being when Deepak shaved off his mustache for the first time and Aastha was laughing the most, so to shut her up Deepaks’ reply, “Aastha I felt the same when u shaved for the first time”

…. And yet after all this scoring the highest and proving as the “Most intellectual batch” in the history of school.
