The playground..where I hardly play…but we cross the desert to reach the main school from the primary school……to hit our library…of course, our serious drill practice for our “Sports day”…March past..heats which runs for 3 days continuously..PT masters drill us down..…The place where a good amount of atheletes were discovered....breaking school records ....year after year......

Ground floor - Office room, Principle's room, library
Upstairs - Physics lab...Staff room for Mr. Lloyd (My Favourite English teacher - in 11th and 12th class...When we were eagerly waiting for our new teachers on the day one of 12th standard .....who is going to handle English for us?.....On seeing Lloyd Sir entering our class, we clapped our hands continuously for 5 minutes so loudly...he was so happy ...his eyes filled with moisture standing there and hushing us...but we continued to clap.....we were really thrilled to have him back...)
The never-shaken ever strong...Banyan tree…it has been years since it was there…..We find shelter under its branches during our morning assembly…….stands out with pride and compassion……. I have lunch here sitting under the cover of my big strong tree....

My Primary School....from class 6 to class 8
This is the school which has carved me out very beautifully...the "me"...right now .....I thank my parents , my Acchan, who was a BHEL, Trichy employee, who made this opportunity possibe for my brother ( 1990 batch) and me (1992 batch)....
I thank all my lovely teachers in my school who had been there with us always everytime.....
Last but not the least, I got married to my dear hubby who is also an ex-RSKite (1988 batch) and SIL studied here too till her 10th class(till 1990)......
I'm dedicating this post to my school, lovely teachers, and all the students....
Pictures : Courtesy goes to my school students who have posted in the RSK site.....Thanks guys....
WOW!! That school is so well maintained and good looking. Lucky you. Because of my dad's job, I went to 5 schools until I completed my high school! :D
ReplyDeleteMy school was initially run by Monfort Brothers of Yercad....under the financial guidance of BHEL...hence it got all the support in terms of infrastructure, and all...But it has changed management...So I don't know what is the plight now??? Our times it was great..and the best school in Trichy....very proud to be one.....

Waaw.. Seeing this post more than a decade after posting, from the person who studied two decades before she posted. The legacy continues.
