I am struggling so hard for topics. I don’t want to write about movies as none of the recent movies has caught my attention or would inspire me to start typing, I want to write on Sachin Tendulkar, but that will have to wait as I am not done with research for it yet. I also want to write on how hollow the IT world is. But that needs more research than Sachin’s topic. When the present and future look so blurry it’s best to fall back on the past. So let me slip back in time and relive some moments from school. These memories are from a place called Mancherial in Andhra Pradesh. I spent 6 wonderful years there. I’ve extracted this from one of my posts on Orkut and edited it.
1.My first day at old school......Mary sister introduced me to the class (Std 5) saying I’ll b joining from the next day......my best friend in school Deepak shook my hand over excitedly....I really didn't like him at that moment!
2. Our school day performances....I was in a skit where I played Mr. Twiddle, the forgetful husband and a disco dance on Hassan Jahangir’s song “booba booba”. Annie sister was the principal then. She liked me a lot!
3. Cycling to school from home in a gang......everybody had a straight handle cycle while I had a BSA-SLR. I sold that and bought a street-cat. I was so happy.
4. A new girl joined our class in standard 7th.....she gave me a Bruce-Lee sticker.....so many guys had a crush on her.
5. Our dance performances on feast days.
6. Having lunch on the stage.....passing our dabbas from here and there.....my usual targets were guys who brought egg related dishes.
7. Our band practice.......till this day I regret for choosing those cymbals....they looked so cool initially but it was not much fun. I wanted to be a drummer.......but all positions were filled.
8. Sherly miss....our beautiful class teacher in Std 7. Is it wrong to have a crush on your teacher?
9. Watching the movie Terminator-2 at Laxmi talkies. For the next 2 days I was impersonating the “mercury man”....I used to walk, run etc like him.
10. Holi, Diwali n Annapurna (food festival) functions at the colony club.....awesome fun!
11. Cricket near my home.....we were so competitive.......a lot of matches with the other section in school....but somehow my talent was never recognized.
12. Our badminton sessions.....me and Deepak were damn good.....but fate had me and another guy as partners winning the rotary club competition. Our name appeared in the newspapers the next day.
These memories are what Brand experts call “top of the mind recalls”. Maybe sometime later I’ll write a sequel to this.
Time to go and create more such moments……….
