Like a ray of light through dark rain clouds, the best part of my whole tiring day was my visit to my school. Well when we are in school we never really realize its importance to us. And I don’t mean it in the way by imparting-education-which-helps-us-in-life-ahead-of-school. No not that way, however true it maybe. But I mean it emotionally. It is the place where you belong, where you can relate to, to which you can look back. Now I know you must have heard this a lot many times and I really can’t hold you guilty for being bored. But if you have to decide…
This is the day when I had to go to school to get some documents attested. Frankly speaking I was really nervous and excited. The person who was in my school and knew Lorna Demello only would understand why. As I entered my schools vicinity I was welcome with a welcoming smile from one of my teachers, Arpita teacher to be specific. Which helped to perk me up a bit. And as I entered the premises I was really welcome to my school by a clerk Satish mama’s warm, hearty, joking laugh.
But it was just not him, all the staff from my school recognized me. It was really a welcome to me. And the best part was that I didn’t even have to meet Lorna Demello, teacher, though I would have mind it after that.
After that though my whole day was really hectic and really, really tiring, I think the nostalgic memories kept me going on.
It just makes me laugh and now a little embarrassed, when I think about the time, I had once said to my friend. I was really enraged at my school’s inhumanity to call us all early at 7.00 am to give our respects to the national flag on the Independence Day. I said, to quote in my exact words “I so hate this school. Calling us so early in the morning! What do they think they are going to achieve? When I get out of here forever I’m never going to look back! Oh I can’t wait to get out of school and go to college!”
My friend totally agreed with me. Now I could easily give a good reason that I was groggy and infuriated. But that would just be a totally childish and relatively ignorant reason.
Today I don’t know about her but I know that now I regret saying it. Cause I know the only truth is when I look back after a long, hard, tiring, day, when I’m totally void of any strength, the only thing that really makes me smile is the smiles on familiar faces from school, my school.

Life or something like that!
It has happened yet again! I can’t believe it! It has been happening a lot these days. Again here I am slouched on my couch surfing the idiot box called “Television” (expressed by some as a visionary accomplishment of “man”. Till now I must have gone through all ninety-nine channels at least twice and yet could not find any program that could retain my eyes more than a minute. Actually the radiation from the screen is starting to hurt my eyes. Now for the third time I have switch to channel 66 ‘The History channel’ a discovery of ‘The Discovery channel’. I don’t know what they are showing but I can see lady dressed in the late 50’s style drinking what I assume to be tea. Hmm, that makes me wonder how can she drink with her lips so tightly pursed, a mystery that is difficult for me to decipher.
I finally decided to settle down with “The Gossip Girl”, watching it again for the second time in two days. Hey I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy the program. It is, I must say quite enlightening as to the lifestyles of uptown New Yorker’s. (Especially the hot guys they feature)
It is Saturday and I can’t believe that I have spent all my day just reading and sleeping. Though I didn’t have any plans for today (not that I always have any) I still sometimes end up doing something good and almost worthwhile but most of the time just doing exactly that I did today – nothing! Is my life ever going go past reading and sleeping all Saturday?
But I guess right now and for sometime hence the above question is just rhetorical.
Hence I sit down with yet another ‘visionary accomplishment of man’ and decide to type my emotions out on the very MS word, a savior of the bored.
It may seem that I’m droning and that I don’t enjoy my life at all, well though it is true up to some degree, it is not entirely that way. I just had the best Diwali ever in past 7 years. And not only that, but after three days of complete contentment of the vagabond side of mine, I had yet another opportunity to spend the day with my closest family members in a days trip to a temple. We did what all families tend to do on such a day picnic – traveling, taking photos in my not-so-newly acquired digital camera, which is one of my treasures, made fun of each other, discussion (especially it was most apparent in between my mother and my aunt. They were so involved in their conversation, both talking at the same time that I completely lost track of the subject, not that I bothered to keep update with them). The above all activities also include getting us completely tired by the end of the day.
However fun the trip/ trips might be in times to come you tend to forget all that. It is the same reason why I chose to put it in words (thought I cannot put everything in word. I guess some emotions are best left unexpressed.), so that whenever I look back, at times I’m sad or otherwise, I have an opportunity to remember and get contentment, however momentary it might be!
