Hail to our happy school days
Be careful what you wish for...for your wish might just come true!
Remember how in school we begged God everyday to end the ordeal of giving exams and doing home work. Than why years after leaving the school I constantly find myself wishing to go back to school life. Why do I try to relive those moments by looking at old pictures and meeting school friends occasionally? Aahhh the memory of that first crush, the smell of those new notebooks and stationary and the horrifying realization just before the class that homework is not complete - Irreplaceable!!
Never before I thought of any one of my school memories as a special one.. but since Shopo.in asked, it got me thinking. This incidence happened when i was in class 8th ... and it was one moment that not only is imprinted in my mind, but also taught me to be humble no matter what.
It was recess, and naturally the chaos . With the kids running around, no one really cared when teachers commanded junior year kids to tie their shoe laces. This particular kid, who almost fell down twice, attempted to tie his laces, but probably he did not know how to. So when he almost fell again the third time, our principal sir came, bent down and not only tied his laces, but also taught him how to.
It was so inspiring to see that when all the others just stood there and watched, the highest authority of the school came himself to help that poor kid. He could have commanded any one to do it, but he chose to do it himself. That was his love for us kids. Guess we were those few lucky ones who could proudly say, we love our princi.
I was touched, and till date I cant wipe that memory out of my mind. After all only the powerful memories leave an everlasting impression on a young mind.
