Talking about the Alma matter....no idea..how all would feel...but sure that there would be a whole lot who would be really happy to rememorize it once again....
2001
The last we met in a class of 50 was the day of our SSC results....though we dint like each others paper(marklist) or liked our paper too much because of others...that was the face we had seen of each other in 2001.
2002-2010
Few met here and there...few were lucky to meet each other at FOB's, stations, at occasions or any random place......who stayed closed by had maximum difficulty in meeting up though!! After studies when people came back tp town....there were lots and lots of plans to come close but again.....each had their own excuses to make...
2011
Try try till you meet....Finally with a small plan from few people...we decided to make it happen on the 26th of January 2011...Ya...it was a decade since we had seen each other...this could have been one of the encouraging factors to make it happen...calls and updates...plan and dreams...updates and discussions...were the part of the pre meet up process...so finally towards the day this is what happened.
26-01-2011
The information was in coordination with the Teachers also...... else it would be a shock and surprise to see a lot of X's on the 26th where people were expecting few school students....The most sincere people arrived an hour early before the flag hoisting...the little sincere people arrived on time...the most opposed ones unfavorably reached on time but refused to get inside because of attitude problems..and the one who wanted to be highly on time but because of the delay in the transport mediums(total support for the writer....pls forgive)...one arrived a little late...i.e the students were just out from hoisting and were settling down :) To this the reaction was...starting with a question of being late followed with a compliment was sweet enough...none other than my class monitor!! ;) so after all the discussions we moved on to the Auditorium...It was not so great as the expected expectations or renovations were not made up...but the fact is we have been climbing that stage for multiple reasons and we loved that Hall no matter what it appears like :) As the events were not again the ones we wanted...we kinda were strolling around the empty classrooms and then jumped into our VII B class (the one right behind the auditorium)....trust me it was going back 13 years :) sat on benches and took pics....point to be noted...we got into only those classes which were ours...i.e the ones we studied :)
Later, one followed by the other..our teachers too started entering the classroom and we had talks....fun....teasers....and getting to know about each others lives..ever since we stepped inside the school...we couldnt keep our jaws joined...rather closed.... talking and laughing.... pulling each others leg and it was not like before....to talk and discuss with those people who were once those scary part of your lives...couldnot believe it...it felt more like friends...luckily our famous "kerala" Prof overheard the conclusion of the show happening backstage and we(the girls) thought of going and witnessing the National Anthem...but had to stop half way through and stood there....After the National Anthem...our kerala Proff passed a comment something like this..."These girls still have the habit of running away on hearing the Anthem:) " i liked it...wasnt it nice?? well....whatever i liked it though...
Slowly we met the whole lot of teachers...going to each other and talking about our HIGHLY happening lives.....it was great to see that atleast our teachers were proud to hear about our studies and work life....though not us ;) Again we met...we clicked....we roamed around the empty spaces(clicked it too) dint leave anyone/anywhere unmet/unseen...finally us friends were left out and teachers moved on.....I think I have been highlighting the story a bit too much...As a matter of fact...there were few flaws too.....few dint remember each others names....after an hours conversation with each other....we had to secretly ask... "What was his name....I forgot re...." and the reply would be...."I thought you would know him....i dont remember!!!" hehehe....finally we would ask that person for the name...to add on .......even some of them gave new names to the teachers too...and few even called out to the Teachers in their new names(with Extreme confidence).....But certainly this was all swallowed in the fun....This is why you should update yourself on your previous information even before a school meet up..else the above goof up would happen on your meet up!!
9.00 p.m 26-01-2011
Most of my readers knew what I was planning to update...so I thought I shouldn't be so obvious....But ultimately.."its me"...so cant help it and had to make it Obvious :)
Love my school :)
Dedicated to the whole bunch of people who designed a major portion of my life and thinking of that making part...still gives a smile even today.....My school mates!!!
