To write about my experience with St.Thomas is a difficult task,not that it lacks substance but it has too much of it and which makes it difficult to choose what to share.My experience with St.Thomas is one of the best one in my life so far.School life is one of most important phase of a person's life,it kind of shapes your future,your aspirations and your dreams and St.Thomas has pro\/ided each of those in best forms.
May be what i miss defines the best what my school has offered me.I miss being forced my mom to get up for school,going to school on my bicycle(of which brakes ne\/er worked and i ne\/er got them repaired), and no matter at what time i got ready i was always late and my bicyle entered the school premises with the first ring of school bell,used to rush to cycle stand and put my bag aside the pillar on staircase and join the line for assembly.I miss being the school prefect and slide with my school time shoes in the lobby,to make sure students mo\/e in proper line.I miss being first captain of St.Aloysis house(Blue house),to hold flag on march past.I miss praying that rain didn't stop in the morning so that we may ha\/e a rainy day off and if it rained during school time than too i prayed it didn't stopped so that i ha\/e to tie shoes with laces on each side of bicycle handle,put socks in pants and make my full pant into half so that i can ship the bicycle in the ri\/er made my rain in K'block.
I miss coming early in morning sometimes to complete my hindi and english homeworks,but still stand out of class because all other friends are out for not completing it.I miss julius caesar.I miss the chemistry labs carrying out experiments of our own,of whose results showed with different coloured strains on my apron.I miss being part of plays of my batchmates,which seemed to ha\/e same theme each time.I miss making preparations for farewell of seniors.I miss preparing for dance on "chandu k chacha" and still want to perform it once more on stage.I miss annual and sports days preparations.I miss the sound of my heartbeat and aderaline rush in my blood \/eins waiting to hear the "go" sound in a race.I miss hitting my own basket during a house basketball game.(And yes this happened).
What i miss the most is the cricket on school ground.Be it games period,after school on saturdays or any e\/enings of my school time we were always ready for a game.It was a kind of meditation and it was something that took my mind off all the things in life of all the worries,tensions and problems.I still when come to kanpur stand with my bike on the road of school with a friend and make plans of future(though success rate of all plans is less than .1% and but still ha\/e courage to make them again).Ha\/e u e\/er stood in snowfall and looked at the sky so white,and see a snow drop falling slowly onto earth in a zig-zag motion, stood at the top of a mountain peak and a take a deep breath of fresh air and shouted a name to hear a echo,or look down at the Ganges from a cliff 20 feet on which you just ha\/e to jump(And yes i ha\/e experienced them all).These all things ha\/e the same effect of peace as standing outside of school gate with my best friend and tell him of my crushes and all plans of future.
St.Thomas has offered me with the best and most cherised memories of school time and abo\/e all the friends it has gi\/en me.I can't miss without mentioning them De\/anshi,Harshit,\/ernika,\/aishali,Saurabh,Aditya,Ashu,Kratika,Rajat and Aarti,You all ha\/e made my life special and filled my life with joys.You all are integral and inseparable part of my life and life without you all is just so common :). As i always say "And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed".You all ha\/e pro\/ided the warmth,care and lo\/e any human e\/er longed for(and yes this is the answer of philosophical question of what makes any person really happy).Thanks you St.Thomas for making them part of my life.This is the only thing i can't repay you.And i always owe you.The other things you offered me,my dreams,career and self confidence, will always represent you in me where\/er i go.Lo\/e u for being there St.Thomas!!!
