That's me, 1st row, 7th from the left. An old school picture probably when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. I was one of the 'tingu' in class. We used to have this play every year for the Christmas party and my most dreaded fear was that the class teacher would make me participate in the school drama. Invariably I used to try running away from it giving some reason or the other and somehow used to land up in the play either playing one of the three kings or the sheperd, during the birth of Christ! This picture was when I played the role of a sheperd. I remember most of my class mates, particularly the chubby girl (middle row, 1st from left), Cherylann. She used to stay next to our school and I think in the 4th grade, one rainy morning when I was walking to school, I saw that her apartment building had collapsed. Reaching school I came to know that she was in a critical condition and then she died the next day. I guess I was too small to understand the gravity of the situation then.
Speaking about it in general when you look back, you always wonder how childhood memories are the sweetest and the best! Nothing can ever surpass them! Thanks to Anuprita, middle row, 4th from left for the picture.
