When I was kid and was studying in junior school, to my surprise I started feeling that I am following one of the girl in the class. She was very informal, crazy, bit untidy but still I kept on falling on her way. Her way to school and my way to school fall in the mid way and most of the time I feel I am following her to school. Sometime, I do feel I am following her back to home. I never dare to overtake her …. One day I do try to leave her behind, but feeling was bit awkward, it was as if I was bringing some sort of completion on who will turn first to school, rather I always preferred giving her a lead …. But, she was slow moving … and was making me bit lazy, dozy …
To rule out my haziness and bring back my agile, I found out the alternate way at some cost of time and few more miles; though the rout which was bit longer but it was my choice, it was free from traffic and there was no lazy, dozy in me …
2. Mystery behind my comfort with the punishment I got in my junior school
I was happy when my teacher punished me by making me stand on my bench. Rather, I was delighted when I was punished as such. She feels I have no shame on me, but she got amazed when she found the mystery of my excitement. When she asked why I am so excited about the punishment she offered to me? I replied, I am getting the decent view of whole classroom, and I can see our classroom is pretty beautiful, and most importantly my site is able to reach place where I want to see… even to the corner of the room is at my reach. I can gaze this room like an eagle and I can hunt my prey …. I can gaze even to the deepest corner of this room….
And then my teacher found the girl who is sting on the corner who I was flirting with …. She then found how comfortable to gaze even on girl sitting on the deep corner of the room, which would have been just impossible when I be seated, as I have to face lots of heads in between obstructing my target. She got embarrassed when she found her punishment was serving me to prey on my target.
3. I broke silence with truth – Love letter I wrote was not intended for her….
When I left my note book in my classroom and went to my hostel for a break, one of my class mates found love letter in my notebook, and he presumed it to be for one of the girl in the class…. Without my information, he acted smart and referred the letter to a girl who he believe was intended for….
When I returned to class from a break, classroom was unusually into deep silence, I can sense something deeply wrong and it seems everyone is waiting for my arrival… next I was followed by a very unusual graceful smile from one of the girl to whom my letter was referred to… I was really socked on something that is going wrong…. She never ever looked at me and smiled for me ever before. Though I had silent admiration for her beauty… I never expressed my pride on her beauty (and so I called it as a silent admiration) …
I needed to break silence of my classroom, and in deep puzzle and with intense curiosity I asked to my neighbor about if something is going wrong… and why our class is behaving so unusually … he replied to me that my letter was very impressive and she liked it …. I had no clue which letter he is referring to … then he showed the paper he found inside my notebook …… He was joined with others and all together responded me… this is the letter we found in your notebook and we have shared with everyone and especially to her …
I broke into laugh... and broke the peace ... this was written by me but not for me, I was favoring one of my friend for writing his love letter … I am sorry to all but I need to break silence with the truth…
4. I don’t want to fall behind. I was caught into race of proving my friendship closer than of others!! Lesson I Learnt – Don’t prove to one who fails to understand your respect and pride for one.
When I was a kid, may be studying in grade three, there was lots of craze of collecting the postcard of the celebrities, wrestlers, beautiful scene of natures, landscape … I don’t have money to purchase those cards because our family was struggling for the daily living and during those days spending money beyond necessity was not possible. In my school I noticed that students keeps on expressing wishes, good luck on the cards especially on birthday to their close friends.
I was caught into race of proving my friendship closer than of others and I don’t want to fall behind!! One day, I found some of my friend turning into foe. My friends who I consider my allies were into activity of impressing a girl who I was more interested on. It was not a love … it’s just a close childhood friend… hope you all can appreciate and understand as child innocence… I was just into race of proving my friendship is closer than others….
I found some of my allies were able to impress some girls with the good looking postcards… It seems easy for me also, I thought to apply that on the girl who I admire… but I found there were already some trying to impress her before I could… I never give up and I thought I should give a card to her before anyone gives... I don’t want to be behind in the race and I need to get it done before anyone does. It was just childhood innocence and craze behind this race was seer for self pride.
But there is no money to buy the card. One day, when I was given some pocket money for my school Tiffin, I took a fast for the day, saved penny and got the card which I felt was more important than my food for the day. I can survive without food but not from any embarrassment of losing the race I am into.
I finally got a card and gave it to the girl who I admired most during those days… She was very happy to get it… All this episode was closely monitored by one of my allies turned into foe, he was annoyed because he was trying to prove his friendship more closer than of mine … Next day I found him giving her card of the size bigger than of mine and of the actor who she admire most … I found her more happier and excited than she was with mine card, I believe I lost the battle, I lose race of proving my friendship more closer than others?? But I learned lesson - not to follow the one who is more impressed by the size of card rather than by the love, pride and respect we have in our heart, not to follow the one who fails to appreciate the value of friendship… I am not a loser, I learned lesson – “value of friendship lies in love, respect we have for each other”.
5. How to trick mom?? Probably, I can give you good lesson on this… I keep on tricking my mom since I was childhood….
She always keep on enforcing me in my study room, it scares me whenever she is around. She is my Mom and I found her tougher than my school teacher … whenever she is around, I was tuned to bend my head to follow the books lying on the ground. … But she was kind enough to provide me with food and good healthcare… But studying every time is not my choice… I hate to study... Book gives me pain and headache… and I am more excited to join with the noise of children playing outside the ground….
In my study room I was accompanied by my brother who was bit sincere and follow the order of mom and those days he is my mom’s favorite. My mom generally peeps far from the door just to check we are into studies … she respect silence and doesn’t interrupt us during study hours …. My brother was ready to offer me help, and with his consent we agreed to put a dummy in our study room…. A dummy which closely resembles me from the back rapped in the blanket….
This trick worked and it happened for quite some day until she found that she was mistaken me with the dummy … she was annoyed, but at the same time she was impressed on my trick.… it worked for a while and I rejoiced my freedom ….
6. My application for excuse for not paying tuition fees
My school teacher punished me for not paying the school fees on time. As a part of punishment; I was out of the class for two continuous days …. One of my friend suggested on how to get rid of this as it is more upsetting and truly frustrating…. He suggested me to write an application for excuse and giving commitment of the payment of tuition fees and he was ready to forge signature of my parent…
As planned, that night I took a sample of my dad signature, and I completed my application for excuse... and so far I recall… application goes like this … Dear sir, I am not able to pay fees for my son Bijay because I run sort of money paying for my own education. But I assure, next month I will clear all of my Son’s tuition dues … please don’t punish my son Bijay…. Thanks….
It was easy for my teacher to doubt the authenticity of this letter; wordings of application were annoyingly awkward and don’t sound genuine. I was confident my teacher will have mercy on me. Adversely to my expectation, my teacher turned crueler and fueled more disappointment and embarrassment to me. He opened letter in front of the whole class and read that letter and warned everyone if they dare to produce any letter which is forged … it’s hard to imagine what he did to me next… he ordered me to pull my shirts and stand barely naked … It was hard and really frustrating to face everyone...
I was punished more than before and then I realized not to follow anyone, not believe in anyone … believe in yourself, share with family and friends who you count, they will surely help and rescue in need. When my dad found I am being embarrassed like this, he always ensures fees are paid and I don’t have any sort of embarrassment situation like this again.
7. My some words to one who I admire most – You are my Hero!!
You are my real hero ... You are my dream, you are my admiration, you are my inspiration, you are my faith, you are my honor, you are my respect, you are my happiness, you are my excitement, you are my patience, you are my encouragement , you are my confidence, you are my hope, you are my fun, you are my fortune , you are my peace, you are my care, you are my heal, you are my glamour, you are my hero.....
Your smile, your success, your happiness means a lot to someone who loves you most, who cares you most, who are counting on you, who want you to succeed, who want you to be most happiest person.
You are my smile…. If I am hungry for something, that is your smile, if I am thirsty for something, that is your smile. Your smile means a lot to someone who loves you, who cares you.
8. I was called cheater and thief by my best friend
My best friend lost his new watch which he purchased just last day. His watch was missing from the classroom.
When he purchased the watch he was very excited and I was the first who he showed the watch and I was very delighted for him. It was a digital watch and was recently into fashion and there was a craze among children to have those fancy watches, and it’s a pride to have it.
Since he is my best friend I sit next to him in classroom. We go for break together and spend most of the time together. Even outside school we often meet and play together. But, there are some groups of students who don’t like our friendship. During past, we do have encountered some bit of frustrating behavior from some of those but nothing affected our friendship.
When watch was lost from classroom, I and he went to complain teacher for the loss. Teacher asked to check the bag of all the students. Me and him checked the bag of all the students but could not find the watch. Most of them were unhappy that I was also asked to assist in checking bag. Unfortunately I missed to check my own bag, and I was blamed for checking everyone’s bag but not of mine. Most of them stated expressing their dissatisfaction on my checking and some started blaming me as a reason for loss of watch. Some of the students also told teacher that only person who knows most about the watch is me. I was trapped and my friend finally blamed me for the loss of watch and he complained to principal that I only know where watch is kept and he has doubt on me. I was disappointed on the friend who I trust most and with whom I spend most of time.
Principal was cruel and started beating me, hammering me with his thick stick to confess and give the watch back. More I denied more he hammered his stick and he didn’t stop until it broke into pieces. I was crying helpless, but I kept denying. He told I might have sold watch outside and kept on threatening me, but I kept denying.
Evening when I returned to my home, my eyes were swelling, it was red, and I have marks of sticks all around my body, my cheeks was in red due to his ruthless slapping. When my mom saw me she broke into tears.
I was taken to hospital. Next day my mom went to school and complained against the behavior of principal. He finally apologized for his mistake.
