Ever stumbled upon an old xmas card handmade meticulously ,fine crafted by your 7th std bench partner..
we had ample time for meaningful friendship(even after homework) coz we were oblivious to facebook greetings(thankfully!)
those days...
when xmas celebrations in school were awaited (to see which teacher is santa this year)
when "best class xmas tree" competitions were held..all the energies were exerted to make OUR tree grand:)
when standing out of class was a source of immense embarassment..so much that your cheeks flushed while you contemplated to skip school next day...
when getting caught for long nails in the regular check after prayers was such-a-big-deal!
when your elder siblings method of teaching maths was ALWAYS WRONG![ coz TEACHER was always right!]
when last-minute cramming was unheard of! Courtesy: everyday homework
when vacations were actually vacations...
when teachers made the entire class stand outside the class for making noise..and we stood[ give it today and they ll have a hard time hunting us:p]
when winning a handwriting competition could put you on cloud nine..
when food was gulped down quickly in recess to run and play in the ground..
when bdays were awaited coz the whole class sang for you..and you preserved extra chocs for yr best frn!
when you thought you "fooled" yr teacher by mouthin and not reading the poem,the whole class was reciting!
when "call your parents!" and "a remark in the diary" was scarier than jumping off the terrace..
even a flashback to those days is priceless...invaluable..
nothing can ever equate to the riches of childhood...the treasure of schooldays...
xmas cards by my school buddies: shirlyn, rosily n anjali took me back...
find out what will take you back...to your OWN treasure trove:))

Nostalgia :) :)
i remember the time when we used to march on every Republic Day in our very British uniforms and how we never really found the word "irony", for the situation.
All of it was classic.
Interesting blog. Shall visit again soon (:
Hope Holi went good (:
i remember making a christmas carol with friends in the fifth standard...it was so stupid...but then all of us were at that age ;)
First of all thank you cause you made me remember my beautiful childhood. I could connect with many of the above mentioned sweet memories!! :)
Needless to say, I really liked it.. :)
lol..nice one.
nostalgia.
I am late in reading this but you really made me go to the school days :):) I remember, how eagerly we used to wait for us/our best friends to be appointed as Class Captains (when there used to be monthly rotation of class captains) so our diaries can be spared from the note - "Home Work not done" ;):p..miss those old days :):)..wish we can go back now and live one such day :):):):)
Ahhhh ... me too nostalgic.. those days carry good aura throughout our lives :)
