After taking birth,
around 4 years later,
started the new chapter,
Although everyone at home started teaching me and writing A B C D.....etc ,
i was dumb,
i never wrote the 'X' correctly i made the stars instead of it,
whenever they scold me for my mistakes that i had done with 'A' i always drew it wrong & Reversed Letters,so...
sometimes they used to tease me in the name of going to school.

admission done!!!
finally !! that day came,
i didn't knew that how i will get fame,
everyone at home were overwhelmed...
new black and blue bordered bag... which was looking too big as compared to me...clear white shirt and skirt, with red tie which mamma was tying it,...
school coat with its badge... hairs were silky black and smooth...
new shiny black shoes and white socks,
the school bag was packed with Lil books and notebooks,
after sometime mamma gave me little water bottle which was hanging on neck,
said, "eat the tiffin when there is lunch break,"

i didn't knew what to say ..
it was my school's first day...
i was nervous...
mamma said before a day,
that Take blessings of all the elders in the house while going to school
i did very perfectly,
but I thought everyone is making me fool,

My grandmother accompanied me to the bus stop for the school bus,
I held her hand tightly,
i saw my grandma's face slightly,
bus was supposed to come,
she smiled and she hugged me ,
Secretly put a 5 rupee coin in my hand and said have some chocolates!
i just smiled!
bus has came... grandma helped me to be enter in it ..
i sat on window seat...
she was waving at me...


i first step was in school...
i didn't knew where to stand for prayer,
even i didn't knew about it that something happens like this...
I didn't even know in which queue I had to stand, still I saw children of my age and stood with them, they all asked me to stand in the back. ...

after the prayer,
principal was welcoming new students...of the new educational year 2011...
everyone were going in their classrooms but i was confused...
where i have to go...
off course the kids of that time were not too advanced like nowadays ... so new students didn't knew where is our class,
A boy said, what is the point of thinking so much, the principal has done our admission, so let's go to him only, he will teach us. to all we thought He was right
and
everyone stood outside ,
the principal's office.
that boy who said to come here... he said to principal in confident that where can we sit sir? principal was surprised after hearing... he asked all of us... "who said you all to come here champs?" he was talking politely and smiling...
we said whatever happened... principal laughed and said ... "ok, so let's go find your classroom... his behaviour was really friendly with students so i got relaxed... because in my family all were saying... teachers are so strict ... but i haven't experienced it..he took all of us in big classroom where the class teacher was waiting for us ..
after all first day went well..
but When I came back home,
some of my notebooks were missing
I didn't know the notebook would be stolen....

after some days i was comfortable in school... but sometimes get bored....
every kid had friends, best friends, sister, brother, ... but i was alone...
even sometimes they tried to talk to me.. to do friendship but i was shy to talk and laugh with them...
a month later i started talking lil bit with my classmates...
in school all teachers were loving me,
they always appreciated my work... whatever i do... and study...they were prouding me...
sometimes i was first priority of them...
our classteacher loves to eat lunch with us... she always gave company...and was behaving like friend ..
her great contribution was that she tought me to do friendship... to make friends...
i am grateful for my respected and lovely teachers..
after 2-3 year i left that school... and got shifted out of state... came to another school...
in school time which is still going on but now about to end ...i made lots of memories which are unforgettable...
i made friends... i lost my friends...
sometimes my happiness.. increased and decreased my sorrows, my anger, my laughter, now this is end of the chapter!

sometimes being first priority of teacher,
getting post of school monitor,
roughing the blackboard with duster,
Making Noise with loud laughter,
coming of strict teacher like disaster,
eating tiffin before recess,
some time it is big distress,
back bench was our 'Masti point'

on birthday getting and distributing the chocolates was best thing...
Did not do school homework, still teacher didn't scold...
it was like winning the worldcup,
.. but now it's time to leave ..
with lots of memories and millions of tears....
it's time to leave you all ...
it's time time to leave the school...
