We’re leaving school shortly, and looking back, I see a bunch of idiotic teenage friends.
There I was, sitting alone in class, looking at my lazy classmates. My class, a crowd of 61 students, each different in her own goofy way. Our class hosts a mini பாரதவிலாஸ். It’s a blend of many States (and a pretty good one too!).
There was a gang of North Indians, chatting away in never-understandable Hindi, and then the Andhra representatives who would suddenly speak in Telugu ( I just hate it when they do it. Feel as if something’s wrong with me), and the Tamil students (we are the minority, surprisingly) who find it quite hard to cope up with the sudden language changes.
There was a set of nerds, discussing the previous exam (those people will never learn. I mean, what’s the point in crying over spilt beans?). There was the poor class leader, trying her best to silence the class (failing miserably, as always). There were a whole lot of others, idly chatting by in any language other than English (we never had much regard for the rules, especially the NO-VERNACULAR-LANGUAGE rule).
Staring at the mad and frenzied batch of +2 students, I was reminded of my first day at school. On seeing the place, which was supposed to be my classroom and the people who were to be my classmates, I was quite painfully reminded of the local parliament. Everything was just a blur of colours. Now of course, I am a part of this stupid and crazy group of girls. It’s amazing how much can happen within a year.
Last year, we were highly timid and preferred to keep to ourselves. Now of course, everyone has broken out of her shell. We are all now one big family-the fact that we still have a loads of misunderstandings is secondary-but that does not keep us from sticking with each other. We might not be the of best friends, no, there is too much bitterness there, but we are always there for each other and we don’t let each other down. This, I realized when we were on our school tour. Our class was united as one and it was a great sight to watch. That’s the basic element of a family, right?
These two years of school life has been the wildest experience of our lives. All of us will leave school as people who have changed a lot over a really short span of time. Some of us have become more serious about life while the better rest have learnt to live every moment, regardless of the challenges life is about to impose on us.
After all, life, is for living collectively.
