I love you, because you love me too
And you love me because I love you too
And you and I…
Are a very very baby baby
Baby baby
Girl…
To the tune of Child’s Play
(I’ve forgotten the rest :-S)
The audi. The chapel. The main quad. Playing football in the tennis court. Finagling free channa-batura from the canteen uncle. Chasing each other. Playing dodge ball outside the staff room. Stella yelling at us for scribbling on the tables. Lu lu la lu. Mary in the assembly. Pillai’s bindi. Saaaaaanjana ma’am. Centre shocks. Mangalore. Eggs on heads and cell phones in loos. Crazy girls in one crazy school.
Memories. Nostalgia. Longing.
Present. Sparkling white buildings. Our 12 Science classroom, gone. Academus, a research centre. A Bangalore Central billboard in school grounds. No more Stella. Or Pillai. Or Myer.
School’s grown away from me. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve grown away from it as well. And if that’s such a bad thing at all.
I’ve grown. I am another person now. And school is another entity now. Sorrow: at the thought. Excitement: I am no longer a child. But. An adult.
To BCGHS. In two years you gave me a lot. A lot more than I can give back. And I am glad.
I don’t miss you. But I won’t forget you.
And to Arun and Sonali. You guys are the greatest!!!
