Yesterday was Jispa’s first day in the first standard. She has new smart uniforms that show she is not a baby in the kindergarten anymore. I even saw her brand new text books. Seeing the text books made me feel a funny kind of sensation inside. I don’t like text books. Especially the ones meant for the younger standards. They don’t have happy memories for me. It created a tension of sorts for me. My memories of brand new text and note books (double line) books weren’t too good. We had teachers irritating us to cover them, with brown paper and plastic covers. Plus we were three kids with me being the youngest. Also new year in school started for us on the 13th of June. I remember it being rainy and the socks being wet, the school being a bit darker a lot damper. I just didn’t like it. Sure it was a good school at the time but somehow some teachers were a bit idiotic and irritating. Not child friendly and chilled out for sure. Till the third I was in Dubai and then the fourth standard was a real mess back in India. It was very difficult for me to make the transition. The wet, large classrooms. New guys around. Parents busy with the shifting. Just not happy and cheerfull. I got used to it a bit later in higher classes when one learns to eat a bit of salt :) while listening to the teachers. Jispa sure has it better. With fees that are at a multiple of 166x to the what I paid, it better be a better experience. Yes one hundred and sixty six times what I paid. For the record – I am not complaining.
Here is her standard uniform
