When I was Child.................

I still remember most beautiful and worst days of my childhood. I can still visualize them. Like most of you, my childhood was of mixed days. "Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham"  kind of situations. Mostly happy moments I guess. I was brought up like any middle class child. Proper education, good clothes to wear and nice homely food (gosh I miss them today). Ok stop dreaming about your childhood now.

At my home, I was one of the worst kid of the block. Always fighting with neighbours and kicking others butt. I was like a rogue. Childrens used to stay away from me. There was no one in vicinity whom I had not abused or fought. I believed in solving the matter on the spot. Never take anything home. You know what I mean...... like no court, no talk......faisla on the spot. :)

I was totally opposite of this image at school. I was one the best student. Neat and clean clothes, polished shoes, nice hair cut and well groomed. Too good at studies. Always first in class. Good at cricket and chess. Best in slow cycle race. Overall, a student every teacher loved to have. This is till 7th standard.

Then I was tansferred to other school (second best in town). There I met best of minds. Great at studies and sports. First time in my life, I failed in an exam (Quaterly like mid-sems). I cried whole night. I started feeling like a small fish in a lake.But I was determined to make a mark. I passed in finals with good score (way back in ranking). Soon I came to realize that the toppers are as good as me. It's more like they have better capability of mugging things up than me. I refused to run in rat race. I started enjoying life at school. Bunking classes, stealing others tiffin boxes, playing inside class when teachers were not around, still maintaing my good boy image.


Believe me, having a good boy image always helps. I still remember as if it happened yesterday. We were in 10th standard. One of my friend brought a poster (adult for that standard) and other one was showing it to everyone of us. Then someone threw it towards girls sitting at other corner. It was too much for them and they went to Principal and complained about the obscene behaviour of ours. 8 of us, including me, were made to stand outside class in hot sun. Then in a min, whole staff room came down. Just when a teacher started hitting my friends from one end, my english teacher pulled me out of the line. She said "This boy cannot indulge in this kind of activities." I was spared but rest of my friends were suspended for a week. They were asked to bring thier parent. Nothing seriously happened though. I got out of the situation unharmed cause of my 'good boy' image. I still laugh at my friends mentioning the situation whenever we meet.

After passing 10th standard, I selected Science as my stream cause I wanted to be an engineer. I studied hard to get good marks. I was among lucky 19 who passed 12th from my class. I didn't scored well in competetive exam. I decided to take a year off to prepare again. I got good marks in CG-PET but not in AIEEE (All India Engineering Enterance Exam). I was eligible for the best engineering college of chhattishgarh. But my father was worried by my behaviour of a rouge. He wanted me to get out of the state far away. Today I know, he decided so for my better life.
