La Galaxia de Estrellas

There are so many memorable moments in one's life. One of the most important moment in every literate's life would be the day when he/she parts with school. It is that time when we make the so called big jump from high school life to university life. The 9th of December was mine. It was the last proper day of school after which we had only exams. It was one of the best ever days that I've had in my school life. I studied in Bala Vidya Mandir right from my Lower Kinder Garten till my 12th Grade. A mammoth 14 years in total. So it was all the more emotional. As it was the last ever day of our schooling, we were allowed to do anything we wanted as we had no classes. Most of them went off to the play-ground, while the others remained in the class-premises. I still remember the scene where every single person in my class was filling some other person's slam book. It was the best time to share feelings. A time when everyone of them were emotional, scared of parting one another's company. Every had their cameras flashing around, taking pictures of everything they see. No one wanted to forget that day. Some people brought along T-shirts asking their friends to scribble on it. The teachers were not left out as well. Those who got their cameras asked their friends to pose with each teacher or asked their friends to capture their friends posing with a teacher. Every single class room was raided and the autographs of the associated teachers was obtained. Entertainment was arranged towards the end of the day when the famous 'ad-zap' team (which includes me ) were asked to perform. The sad part to some was that it started raining in the afternoon. But the rain did not dampen our spirits. There was about three hours of humour, fun and laughter. V.Kartick the chief mechanic behind the work. I did my part with the usual faultering. We made fun of cine-stars, teachers and even our own class-mates (obviously with their permission). Commerce students had their share as well. It was 6 o'clock in the evening when the fun was over, it was time to leave, literally. That was the last thing we needed at that time. Everyone started crying, one after the other. People whom I had only seen laugh were also crying. New students and the old ones were crying. I have never cried so much in school before. The rain did not cease. So didn't the tears. It is so contrasting, the way the day begun and the way it all ended, no one expected this. For once it was not 'just another day in the office'. We had forgotten that our exams were commencing two days later. It looked as if everyone wanted to cry. They were so intent in crying. Finally we had to leave. There was a last session for the camera-men as all of them posed to the flash of their cameras. Then we were off. In all it was a day full of fun, laughter and emotions.
