F.R.I.E.N.D.S!!!
“Do you understand now?”, the teacher smiled back at her.
Yes ma’am, she answered with a brightly lit face and a thankful tone.
That’s when I awoke suddenly during the physics class and shouted eureka :P
The teacher and all the students stared back at me. “What happened, Meghna?” she asked. “Ma’am I finally found my lost Physics book. I now remember that I had kept it in my brother’s school bag because he was after my life troubling me for some heat numericals. I had refused to give the book, but when he got so inquisitive, I decided to hide it in the horses mouth itself”, I replied sheepishly.
The teacher look back angrily but finally the smile reappeared while she said, “I’m glad dear, for now, you won’t be sleeping anymore in my class I guess?”
“No ma’am”, I laughed back, with all my classmates joining in.
As soon as the bell rang, the maths period began. We stifled mouthfuls of delicious food prepared by our mothers and when we saw the teacher coming, got back to our innocent li’l self.
Day after day, we had cringed for our classes with friends and full on rocking fun quotient.
The wretched half term exams had spoilt life in between but then, it was the only time when we naughty gals finally got acquainted with school books.
There had been problems between friends or fights and lots of tears which I won’t deny. But life has its sets of problems and we always overcame them, after all, what was the lunch break for? (when you had already eaten your lunch between classes?)
But far more, there were times of fun, of games periods, of innumerable free classes, of mesmerizing talents of our classmates in mocking teachers, of the best class there ever can be.
The unity, kept us alive and living, when the dreaded books burnt lives. The smiles from our friends kept back the tears which were insensitive to sorrow or joy.
That was what we called life! School….friends and my class….that is LIFE!
P.S- This is a dedication to all my classmates (class 8) and friends in my group. I just wish they stay like this forever, never to be vanquished from my heart. Wish for many more years together to come, even after this year ends. And also, wish all you guys who are gonna appear for their board exams or any other exams, all the luck!
