"No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy."--- George Orwell
School, the word that gave me a head-ache when I was a kid. Those days, now when I think of, reminds of the good time I had, which at that time never felt that good. Getting early morning with half closed eyes. Then take bath and get ready and wait for school bus to come. Though these feelings remained same througout the year, around the clock, with slight variation in winter season. Winter season made me more lazy and drony. When i was happily sleeping under the blanket dreaming of summer vacations...there came the sound of alarm clock penetrating my dreams. That sound irritated me when ever i heard till I left the school. And then bathing in cold water...so cold that it could make even a dead man shiver. Well, these are actions preceeding the one in school.
Once I reach that place, the so-called temple of education, feelings changed suddenly. Then there is fear factor. Home-works, assignments, class-tests and then the father of every fear...EXAMS. But these are something which no one can get rid of provided that you are a serious with your studies. Everyone has to face this once in a life time untill he gets of there.
But what I am talking here is not about those usual things mentioned above. But those which were peculiar and concerning only me.
And one of those peculiar things was my Friends-circle. They were very less because I was very retricted in my societal approach. Actually, I was an "introvert" since the day when i didnt know the meaning of that word. So I kept myself away from everyone. So the Life was very simple...go to school...then tuition and then back to home. My day ended there. And now when i compare those days with the present...they are altogether very different. Well, thats not in question here.
Another peculiar-to-me sort of a thing was "girls". Well ! for me girls were like slugs--they probably serve some purpose, but it was hard to imagine what. Least interested in talking to them. Always maintained a minimum distance.
OK, all these well and fine. But the question which troubles me is-- what did i learn in school??? I went to school, but never learned what I wanted to know. This makes me feel uncomfortable because of the fact that, I wasted my good 15 years...and in the end when i passed out, am like a clean slate as I was before joining the school.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN IN SCHOOL??? THINK OVER IT !
"I hate to think that all my past experiences will someday become stories with no point." So to make some "point"...this post is here.
