Anonymous memories

Well, I was extremely jobless and depressed yesterday[ yeah yeah,my normal state of affairs]. Anyway to cheer myself up I opened a dusty ol' book- A book which instantly filled me with so many memories, that it numbed me with the very realization; a book with so many revelations that it overwhelmed me to the point of crying[ yeah..a very abnormal state of affairs for me]. Imagine how you would feel if you wanted to go to the loo super urgently but your legs were stuck in a cement mould of the toughest kind. Something similar, but less grose and more meaningful- was what I was going through at 12:30 in the night yesterday. My eyes refused to well up, instead my throat knotted up so hard, I had to force the tears down the throat to moisten the same..Or so I think is what I did[Don't tell me it's physically impossible!Nothing normal ever applies to me]. I'm not very conscious at 12:30 in the night you know.
Putting aside the behavioural diagnostics of my body, brings me to the point I'd originally set out to make. My book!!My prized book..My 10th standard slam book!The very thought of it brings a huge stupid grin on my face. My mom tells me I'm mentally immature. Honestly, I feel for having heard that. Well,more on that later. While reading through the book[the slam book!focus!will you??] I found out that people really did love and care for each other, despite the fact that it's all gone and shrivelled down to the point of non-existence.
Ohh!Here are a few facts and statistics of the awesome days!!-->
My gang was called SADDAM'S BJP ..Lmao!this piece of information cracks me up even to this day!!
The rival gang called ODLC-OneDozen Lazy Chickens!
We prided ourselves on being the big fat sloths!:D
I was the President of the L Board committee..I remember taking this committee very seriously,having monthly recruitments for trainees and assistants alike .

AAAH!!I miss the good ol' innocent days with Miss Leelavathi[When I say Miss Leelu, You should picturize a fat, dark skinned lady, complete with spectacles,copper coloured hair,A woman whose manner of walking would put a lady troll to shame:D]
So one summer day,when the power supply is off, our Miss Leelu strolls into the class like a sweaty troll.
Leelu: 'C'mon ma,switch on the lights!' .
XX [my friend]: 'No power m'am!'
Leelu: Ok,Switch on the fans then.
XX: Falls down twitching grotesquely with laughter.

I forgot that back then I was short!![short=>cute in my dictionary], that I rode to school by cycle[YEah!!As you would guess,it was awesome!!],and that I had the cutest little white and green basket to carry my lunch!!:)Absolute fairy tale setting!!

Like the 10th grade came to a sudden halt, the final semester is crushing me down with its finality. All I can hope is that, may be, just may be...the fairy tale setting of the childhood days will never elude me in the coming years as well.:)
