Moments
of school
Childhood is the most
pleasant part of every ones life. We keep the memories of childhood embedded in
ourselves. We often keep talking about those events of our childhood and relive
once again those moments which one calls the moments of kingship.
The days when the mother uniforms the
child, prepares his bag and keeps his Tiffin ready. Those moments never come
back but their memories remain always in our mind and when ever any such event
happens which resembles to our childhood days we went back into those days and
sometimes we pry those days back but the time never stops.
School days are always very special in
ones life and he always goes into the deep thoughts of the schooldays, wearing
neat and clean uniform so to become volunteer and doing home work at schools
and irritating teachers by making noise in the classroom and always try to be
smart in front of the teacher.
There are thousands of memories about
the ones childhood days. In my schooling days a day happen when a newly joined
principle announced the painting competition. Ali Mohammad who had few days
back joined our school as principle was a retired teacher with dedication
towards the progress of the school. Hartals used to be always in Kashmir and
schools would remain shut, but Mr. Khan would come on foot and keep school
open, he would assign higher class students to teach lower class student.
I was the favorite student of Mr.
Khan, and would try to keep my image good enough to be the favorite. As the
painting competition was announced, it was not a kind of artistic painting
which used to draw anything artistically on the paper but it was rather very
different it was to paint our classrooms and the best decorated and painted
class would be awarded. I was selected
as the representative on behalf of my class and we were given the time of three
days. We had to bear all the expenses by ourselves. Then all the class mates
contributed 30 rupees which was collected by me.
We selected pink colour for the walls,
green for the top and brown for windows. We first brought colours and mix them
with water and started painting. Every student was assigned work by me, few
students for painting, few for cleaning matting, few to make wall paintings and
few more to prepare black colour for black board.
Every student was busy in their work
assigned and our school for those three days was looking like painters hub.
Students were painted with colours besides doing their work they were having
fun by putting colours on other classmates.
The atmosphere in the school was different and it was looking as if
there were the celebration of holi in our school.
After three days of hard work every
one was ready to listen to results and were hopeful that their class would be
the winner of the competition. Each student’s face was glittering, with
confidence that they have don worth to be awarded.
Our class was more attractive because
of the multicolor painting and black board shining as if attached a newly sin
mica board. The colours, drawings, mapes and more hanging items on which was Quran
written gave a very pleasant and attractive look to our classroom.
Ours was really the best among the all
classes and now silence spread as the principle took the mike for announcement
of the winner of the competition. First was announced the third position of the
competition which was given to the seventh standard they where given a prize
which was covered with the wrapper sheet with a label written as third
position. The class representative collected the prize and sit with his class
mates happy with the prize. Now was the turn to be announced second prize, but
the principle first talked about the eighth standard of the school who where
having last year in the school. Mr. Khan said’ “keeping in the view that the
students of the eighth class have last year in this school so we call upon the
stage both eighth and the sixth class” we went on the stage and then principal
announced that the most beautifully painted and decorated class was sixth but
eighth was not much lesser then that, so with the consensus of all the teachers
and keeping in view that eighth class is leaving this year the first prize goes
to eighth class. We were very upset by receiving the second prize instead of
winning the competition.
We were not happy with this decision
of the teachers but we then realize that it was a moral support to the leaving
batch, we had yet three years to spend in the same school and lot more was yet
to be seen in that school more competitions and more prizes but the moments
which give happiness to others made us feel proud.
We were awarded second prize which was
a big world map and a general knowledge book to each student. We then enjoyed
the moment and looked for the future and from the next day the regular
schooling once again starts but in between more such moments also came.
