Two years - a flash...

Well do I remember that day, June 3rd, 2009, when I entered that IX-A class, without having any interest, scolding in my mind the teacher who had done the promotion, basically because my two best friends were in another class, but still there was a cousin of mine and another friend. The teacher who came to our class added to my already low spirit. How I wished I was in IX-C or at least B. Its easy to say "Make friends", but practically difficult to find a person who matches your wavelength. I was always grumpy in my early ninth. I convinced myself that I was happy with the friends I got.

Gradually the time came when my teacher decided to change my place. I found no obvious difference. After two days or so came Aishu sit near me. That day myself and another friend kept giving her puzzles and riddles to solve. To my utter joy I got a person who shared my view on tuition. Not only her, but now the entire last 3 benches had become close now, thanks to mainly our catcher-killer games. I can never forget those games. Then came the jinx called "Annual exams". After a weekend of summer holidays we were back to school for the special classes. We got places keeping watch not to break the 'last 3 bench group'. We loved special classes more than normal classes, because there was no attendance and no time restrictions. They were the best. Then came the so called vacation. Going to Black Thunder was the only eventful thing that happened then. As soon as school reopened the scramble of tenth started.

I don't know how time passed. I was happy that I got good teachers for all subjects (excepting the language teacher, who often reminds me of Gilderoy Lockhart). I was not afraid of practical classes. But I really can't reason why my hand always shivers when I pour anything into anything in chemistry lab. The consequence was the pouring of concentrated sulphuric acid on my hand on my first chemistry class (still have the mark on my left hand). I learnt not only my subjects in X-A but also lessons life offered me. Those joyful lunch breaks, never ending talks still ring in my ear.

Finally the D-Day came. March 22. I had no seriousness that I was about to write the Board exams. I had been more serious for school exams. Probably because we were given too many holidays in between. And then after it seemed ages, came the day, much looked forward to by most of the students - April 11. We (the famous last 3 bench group) all went to a friend's house to freshen up, went to Arun unlimited, back to school to take some snaps, back home then. Everything went well that day except for Aishu who hadn't joined in the celebrations. Time seemed to run very fast that afternoon.

Finally when I was back home I felt sorry that I was leaving that class. We are now a family. I don't know when I started liking that class, but now I am too sorry to leave it. I never thought I would like this class when I entered it on June 3rd, 2009. But April 11, 2010 is a day which will remain evergreen in my memories. The X-A family rocks forever.

Teacher - Cheater

The most trying thing in my life at present is one of my teachers who claims to be an experienced one in her subject, but doesn't even know the meaning of things obvious to even students. Why do they take the life out of us by claiming themselves as TEACHERS and spoil the real meaning of the word???

Height of encouragement

Thomas Alva Edison discovered the electric bulb on his thousandth trial. He said "Those 999 trials were not failures, but the conditions in which the bulb does not work."

Kudos to him!!!

Special.....

Your presence brings me peace..
Your crimson tinge makes me calm..
Your breeze brings me ease..
Your blooms are my balm..
What's your secret??

The book says it is Jasper's power
To control emotions;
But I know it is a lie -
You are the only one who can control minds...
What's your secret??

In you,
I find joy...
In you,
I find beauty...
In you,
I find love...
In you,
I find serenity...
In you,
I find my soul...
Oh! Sweet nature
What's your secret???

The fastest week ever

The week which passed seemed to be the fastest of all to me. Of course, nowadays no week seems to drag (excepting the 4 hours from 9am to 1pm everyday when the teachers come and torment us with their supposedly interesting topics) yet last week passed like a flicker of light. Three important things took place. No story books (I don't know why but I wasn't in the mood for books). Two most mundane films. And above all my birthday.

First my birthday. I woke up early (6am is early for me) to find some very surprising presents. I do not exaggerate by saying this is the only birthday ever in my life filled with such a lot of surprises and wishes. My friends arrived one by one. There was no bounds to our enjoyment. We had fun fully for the fast approaching hectic year. My parents were astonished to find me enjoying and rejoicing to the utmost level. Definitely this ought to be the most unforgettable birthday I've ever had. I myself couldn't believe that I had enjoyed so much. The only drawback was that our plan of watching movie had to be canceled due to the work of the TNEB, who chose that particular day for the power shutdown. But that didn't affect our enjoyment to the least.

Talking about the two dragging movies I saw, I feel astonished that they didn't make the week seem longer. The first was paiyaa. Karthik has got a decent role for the first time, but it does not suit him, probably because we saw him in a more dishevelled look in this previous films. He doesn't get the expressions properly. Tammannah has done a good job of what has to be done. The film would have become more popular only if it had come some one and a half decades ago. The story has become something out of date. The music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is good.

The second is Vinnai Thandi Varuvayaa. Better than the former, but not up to the mark.Though many say it is really good, I didn't find anything special in it. Just a simple love story. I had expected much more from the comments I received. But I don't know what people find something so special about it. For me it was a great disappointment. The music is brilliant. Well, I don't have to tell about the music being good when you know it is by Rahman. Still I want to express my views.

Well the other things that characterized this week are as usual the classes, tests (the not-so-interesting part) and enjoying with friends in school (the better part). I don't know why this week especially of all has seemed to drag. And forgive me for boring you with my own musings. I wanted to do something and I realized that it was long since I blogged. So I just babbled whatever came to my mind. And thanks for reading, with or without patience, my jabber.
