If I am asked to share on my School life, I would write endlessly. Such was a blessing in disguise phase for our batch mates. I would say, we were and are blessed to get such a wonderful gang of friends.
This episode dates back to 8th Grade ! I would say it was one of the most memorable event of my / our life.
School life is incomplete if any of you hasn’t been punished at least once in your entire school life. We had many many & infinity times such experiences, but one Punishment stands out of all.
The memories are still fresh and am glad to share with you all, without any bit of shame. He he he he !!
We usually were outstanding students when it comes to Mathematics and Monthly test results. I mean it – OUTSTANDING !!
It was one such day, when a large bunch of my friends including me were asked to stand outside because we didn’t pass in our Monthly test and some who didn’t get sign from Parents because they scored less / failed. I was from the later. (I Swear I passed by a whisker that day but forgot to get sign from my mom because of my laziness). I remember it was our Shyamala Madam who made us fame that day.
On usual note, we all were happily chatting and playing even though we were asked to kneel down and with our hands up. We were expecting that this will last long for 30 odd minutes and will get inside the class, but we were WRONG !
Our ever beloved Principal Renuka madam saw us playing without any shame. She got furious and came near and scolded on top of her voice. As always we kept our heads down and went to SILENT MODE. Expecting to end, she didn’t do it so. She quickly went into the staff room, asked few teachers to bring chart papers and threads.
Little did we knew the greatest drama was set to happen.
After a matter of 20 minutes, she came with around 20 pieces of Chart paper tags with threads. We were asked to wear it around our neck. Each cards were quite big and had unique writing on it.
Guess what ??
1. I am a Dunce because I unable to pass
2. I am a fool, because I failed in Maths
3. I am an idiot…
4. I am an useless
Each card had different varieties of writing, of course all describing us.
We all had no options but to wear. The episode didn’t stop, we were segregated into two batches and were asked to visit each class rooms of the entire school and asked to tell the reason for wearing the Cards.
All the teachers who didn’t liked us, clapped very hard for our achievement. They were smiling from East to West. We too replied them with a smile.
My principal, had special love towards me so she made sure that I was asked to visit the class where my mom would be taking the classes. It was a perfect plan.
But nevertheless we didn’t forgot to enjoy and kept smiling when we entered each classrooms. Few girls on usual note were on tears. Turn wise we announced the reason.
The drama unfortunately didn’t end there. It was almost lunch time. Our princi madam, saw us still smiling and playing around, she got into red beast mode and asked only the boys (I guess around 8-10 nos.) to march right in the middle of the school ground and stand just there. It was just before the lunch break. The entire school whoever missed the drama of classroom parade, didn’t miss out this time. Everyone came and saw our Boards / Tags and smiled. We turned the board and didn’t show what it was written, but our P.T. Teacher asked to turn it back .
Still remember my friend Ramesh’s bro (Suman) came to see us in the ground was asking me, “Anna what is the meaning of Dunce?”. I told him go and ask his elder bro because he had something unique name in his tag than me. We also requested Suman to not to forget to tell at home regarding the same.
It was almost end of the day I remember, our principal asked to come back and once again gave a blasting. Later we were asked to have our late Lunch.
Finally it was also end of the day and it was 4 p.m. the day was over. Without any shear shame, we were at the Football ground at 4.05 p.m. and played as we used to play daily. We were also happy that the entire day was not spent in class.
Each and every juniors who used to play were amazed by our Mental strength and ability to withstand any humiliation. Ha ha ha ha.
Others would call it was a perfect Cangue, but I would name it as a day of “Medal” swearing ceremony. A medal more precious than an Olympic medal, because of which we became famous and also because we are here today mentally strong !
Guys who were presented the prestigious medals : Myself, Pushpa, Ramesh, Navanee, Samuel, Gopi, Kishore, Navin etc. From girls I remember Marium was there because she was our scapegoat to speak most of the time when we went for the parade. Vaguely remember others.
P.s.: Later the evening at home, mom thought I was failed. But when I showed that I was pass and because of my laziness to not get sign I was punished she was very happy for it. She said only one thing “Beta you deserved it”.
School days to us as I always say, taught us many things. This was one such incident which made us fame for few days, but it gave us one of the most memorable memories for our life time. Not sure these generation kids get such punishment because if you give they tend to commit suicide thinking it as a great insult. To us we accepted to larger extent, that we were punished because of our mistakes. We are now stronger Mentally and able to withstand all our pressures of life because of such small lessons which we learned during our school days. Ask all my buddies they would say the same and would smile after reading this post. So all your guys at School, just enjoy to the core. Leave all your scolding and beatings, it would be memories one day.
I am sharing the picture of our class X, almost most of entire lot of this picture were part of this Medal ceremony.
