Pre-school (part-2)


In the last post, I told you all 'bout my first interview..luckily enough,I was selected in that but..... due to some circumstantial problems, I was admitted into another school and trust me, this new school of mine was just fabulous . :)
The place, we called "school" looked less like a typical school, and more like a picnic spot and that was what I loved out there.
The entrance to the school had lots and lots of flowers in different arrangements and that gave the place a heavenly feel..as you entered further into the school, you come across a small stream on one side and a little pool on the other side.The pool had lottsa tiny fishes and was one of my favourite hang-out spots those days though back then, "hang-out"term was unknown to me :)
My school also had a little hill inside the campus and the hill was filled with lottsa foliage and flowers..it used to be a lovely passtime to go up on the hill and enjoy :)
Coming to the most special spot in the campus, at one corner of the playground, there was a moderately-sized bush with an opening.. one day,I had discovered it accidentally and thought "how bout a bush-house,if not a tree-house?" :D
I was always fascinated by the concept of tree-top houses I had seen in movies and soooo... the chance to have a bush-house seemed nonetheless interesting too :)
Soo,I gathered some like-minded friends and soon..our bush-house was in place :) We designed a little door for it through using some branches :)
Whenever we used to have free periods, we used to go inside the bush-house .. we even used to have lunch and occasionally feasts too inside it ...
We also kept 2 puppies inside that little bushy world of ours ...
Those days were simply awesome ... :)

School times recalled... pre-school (part-1) :)



School holds a very very special place in my life,in my heart , in my existence ... "school" is one of those episodes of my life with which I gladly associate my happiness,confidence and even pride too.Going long back along the memory trail,I can still see fresh the images of when I had my first encounter with school..come with me to watch a virtual movie of all those times..A little girl walking alongwith her mom to a school for pre-admission interview..she's not scared and there're no butterflies fluttering in her stomach..know why?? Not coz she's loaded with confidence or anything of that sort,rather just 'coz her innocent mind is yet to learn the terms like "expectations ","pressure to perform","career","self-esteem" etc etc and sooo... though she's walking upto an interview, she hardly knows about it :)
She walks into a big room, all the time holding tightly to her mom's hand.. there around a desk, sit 3-4 men and women with varied expressions on their faces.. After some initial formalities, she's asked to sit down too and one after the other,she's asked questions ranging from rhyme recitations to story-telling to numerical abilities and all.. she happily answers everything ... her mom has always taught her that when you are asked such questions, answer all to the best of your ability,then only you will be called a good girl & can have chocolates too...And this little girl loves both those things- admiration and chocolates ..soo,she goes on doing her job in the best way known to her.. The interview is over,the interviewers seem quite impressed, mom looks happy too and the little girl..?? She stares at everyone's faces with a smile and an unspoken question "I am good na??" She finally gets her answer when while returning back to home, her mom buys her a big chocolate bar .. :)
