Travelling down my memory lane...

It was a very fine morning.. as usual i was "trying to plan" what to study since i was in my study holidays.just then my cousin and uncle arrived at my home with a bag full of new books and notebooks.. It was my cousin's new set of books for his 7th grade..Memories started flashing in my mind..


A few years back.. the fun i used to have during my annual-exam-holidays.. and when april is about to end, it would be the time for my results.. that day is definitely important for everyone and for me , i would be in one more trouble other than my result.. my marksheet!!! i was one among those who can get their annual-exam marksheet.. i envied my friends who were happy about their result.. though i too was happy with my result, my marks indeed would bring me down. i would be questioned for losing one mark in maths and a couple in science papers and about 10 in language papers.. and added to that, i will be getting advices at free of cost from my previous year class teacher that "you havent secured first rank. you secured only 2nd.. you should put in a lot of efforts and secure first rank next year,ok?". what else can i reply when my parents are around??"yes mam" with a forced smile!!!

The impact of results will stay for a week.. and i will be back in the mood to enjoy my holidays again.. by the mid of may, its time to go to school again!! this time ,to get my books! fortunately, my brother was studying in the same school and so he would accompany my father to school for buying books.. he must have cursed me for this because.. its too hard to stand in a queue and buy those books.. and carrying them back home is another big task!! as soon as they reach home, i would open up my bundle of books and start checking with the booklist.. the fresh smell from those new notebooks. the shiny cover of those books.. eagerness to just look at the content of the book...and after sorting them,covering with wrappers.. it was a wonderful experience..
Those days can never be forgotten!!


For me.. june was a month of expectation.. new class, new teachers, new classmates.. one week of orientation.. then as usual my un-fulfilled resolution every year,"will secure first rank this year"!! all those are treasurable moments in my life..
school days.. are indeed precious!!
now back to reality..
"havent you started learning?? its ur sem next week!! you should be the topper atleast this time".. owner of the voice.. my mom!!
and again those un-fullfilled resolutions are back in my mind!!:)
