THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES.

It all started as a five year old toddler struggling with a new 'Milton' water-bottle, a larger-than-his-frame bag and an identity card dangling from his neck.
Life began since then...full of ups and downs but exciting nonetheless. Right from the "three billy goats" of Chappel Miss to the spelling exercises of D'souza Miss and the getting caught reading a story-book in Gupta miss' math class, school was fun to the core (though it certainly didn't seem that way back then when we used to land in trouble). You can never forget the kind, gentle scolding of Rev.Fr.Wautier_ who was so loving.The interesting stories of Anjali Miss(we used to wait for her class so eagerly) and the constant words of encouragement from Krishna Miss.
Things became a bit complicated as we moved to higher classes (read studies), but amazingly our teachers made all the difference. There was never a dull moment when Rajaditya Sir took us through the seemingly scary alleys of physics or in maths class when Roy Sir delved into the dark corners of algebra and geometry.
In fact we used to actually wait for Nandi sir's class and I'm still amazed by his flawless aim in throwing the chalk at some 'disturbing element'.
With all the fun and serious studies, I can still feel the excitement and anticipation before a P.T.class. Even though I was never much of a sports person, yet thefun of going out in the field and doing whatever you want to was not just alluring but something worth waiting for.
Apart from the fact that my school days shaped my life to a great deal, I'd say that my school, St.Xavier's has given me some of the most cherished memories and some of the most treasured moments, which include sharing tiffin under the trees to the interesting classes of Suvro Sir,Sandip Sir and the other teachers.
Thinking of my school days always lets go a flood of memories and had it not been for all my teachers I wouldn't have been where I am today.
