I FOUND ME WHEN I GOT MYSELF LOST



I dont know anything about my life except one 'myself'. I am an introvert. i believe that. I felt it since childhood. I dont know if this story would interest you because even playing peek-a-boo scared me. During pre-school days i was afraid to play hide and seek because i felt i would be imprisoned or smothered. Twas kinda morbid...

My eldest sister used to encourage me to see the outside reality. She wanted me to feel both the joy and sadness of the real world. Well one day she asked me to buy her a kilo of sugar. When i returned home i brought her a bottle of long neck vinegar...

Ridiculous. I was so sure i didnt have a problem in hearing. Or just probably may comprehension was a suspect. That's the reason maybe my mom was akeptical that i would learn the abcs.

Then I surprised everyone especially my mom. She couldnt believe that the school was inviting her to attend the recognition rites to honor top pupils. I was second in my first grade. Yeheey..!

Well school was my home, my second home. I had no special talents to boast during my toddler or pre-school years. Anybody would certainly disagree that i was crooning at the age of three. I was not Frank or maybe Perry. Till 9 years i was still bedwetting in my sleep. Yes, that was unforgettble and unforgivable too.

I believe everyone would agree how important school is. Countless memories and special events of our youth practically evolved in school. I maybe a failure in some aspects of learning but eventually it is in the school that i got the encouragement not to fail again.

It's fun to reminisce memories of school events. You meet many friends and have eye-openner experiences. You learn the essence of living and appreciate life.
