Nostalgia

It all started from the day my parents left me here on 6th August 2011 under the supervision of another family, complete strangers to me... Yes, that was my first day in Kolkata!!!! Timid, shy and ignorant I was of the way life goes on over here... Being from an industrial town, little did I know of the decorum of the place. On my way to college, I started observing people, trying to figure out, I knew not what... But that was the best possible thing I could have done, to get acquainted with the city from its people.But my college friends were awesome. Initially I could not walk fast (so got occasional pushes from people behind me) and cross the roads. I mean why did they move in such a hurry????? I could not get up a bus.... I lost my way to the place I stayed....I had an odd dressing sense...I could not prepare my own Maggie... I could not walk carefully without tripping over a thing or two and stamping over mud or dung....and on top of all accepted the family of my landl...

Class XI It seems just yesterday when the classes for standard XI commenced for our batch on 16th April 2009.

You need to "move your toes" the entire time till our founder president was done with with the explaining of his entire travel route all the way from Springfield to our school with his "Me and my wife". No I won’t say HSMS was a hell then for it was the next two consecutive years that followed which were scary to their true extent. We being home students were accustomed to this inhuman ...

Life is so strange. At certain stages of our lives we dream of something, we spin our world of fantasy, yet when we grow up ,our desires and aspirations also change with time and we tend to forget and come out of our childhood imaginations. But those yearnings still dwell somewhere in our minds although dormant however we try to shoo it away with our pragmatic ideas and remark them as "absurd". There are a few things that I have always dreamed of since childhood but now feel ashamed of confronting them with the fear that people may call me immature. Although I do not particularly care about people but I feel the heat of more important issues to be dealt with in life than those and since our mind develops with age, our thought process also undergoes continuous transformation and we no longer feel like feeling the same feelings that we once felt in the bygone years over again. Yet as I said the desire still remains deep inside our soul like a baby in the mother'...
