Has it really been a decade????


A decade seems like a long long time...but has it really been that
long????Back then i thought a decade later i wud not be in touch with most of
the ppl, wudnt remember the names of few n wudnt have time to go over
the pictures too. And here i am thinking about school n strangely i
remember most of it all. I dont think i'm growing old ... like the rest
of my friends from school ....

Back in 1996 we had decided to meet in school on the 14th Nov 2006
(childrens day!) ... thinking of it then... i was sure it was an
impossible task! at 25/26 we used to think that we'll all be married n
have kids... never thot it wud be this way ;)

When i came to school i left my mom's finger and came to a whole new
world... n when i left HAC it was like going through the whole thing
again. None of us wud have ever imagined to be so much in touch... we had a feeling that this was the end and we may never even meet again.. what wud be left with us wud
be some rusty memories n some dusty photograps...here are somethings i
can quickly recall :D...

The early lunch in the brunch, the antakshari during lunch, throwball,
seven tiles, the silly fites, the lab records, the project works, the
10th std boards [which we thought was the most important n difficult
exam ], the history n maths classes [the teachers ofcourse made it
special ], the vayinoking, the dash for the bus [rema n ananya will
remember this], poornima's comments for everyone in the bus , the
morning assembly, sumitra's tie (which she never wore), the early
morning homework copying session [thanks to ppl who used to do the
homework, the sister freeda's hindi classes n her intersting jokes
[remember the "bark" one ] with shanti's imitation, the shakespear's
lessons, wuthering heights, the old man and the sea, the poetry
lessons, sister leticia's prayers, chemistry lessons from shiny teacher
[the names seems funny now... strangely it never seemed funny then],
sophy teachers anger, our December 3rd parties, the dance competitions,
jayashree's singing, gayathri's dancing, the parents day practise, the
school competitions [ i can still remember a few songs..."wo din hai
kitna door, jab aapne appne, sab ke sapne honge poore.." -Red house ],
the school band [thomas n asha wud rememebr ].. n wat not....
i cut go on n on n on n on.... its a never ending list... .... please
add ur list in the comments section n let others be a part of ur
memory......

Congratulations My Friends... lets celebrate in our own special way
!!!!!

  2. Hi Kamana, Anand here..... Nice to see you in Blogistan. Great writeup, and I see many familiar faces in the pic too. HACites finally decided to join the nostalgia revolution in blogistan? ;)
    Unlike other ISC-ICSE schools in Tvm, HAC used to be a "dark continent" for me all through school years..... a real unknown except for the whispers and gossips I heard from my pals who had sisters or cousins there. Finally, insider accounts of life in HAC.... God bless Blogosphere. :)

    BTW, I read about a boiling test-tube incident in Pooja's blog. Details please..... Chem lab anecdotes are sooooo fun! I myself blew up a couple of beakers, broke a dozen pipettes and countless test tubes in my time.

    'nyway, I bet Loyola Chem lab could beat HAC (or any contemporary) Chem lab hands down.... the "distilled water" in our Chem lab turns red litmus blue and blue litmus red (I swear!)..... sodium carbonate powder in that cupboard next to the door which gives immediate results for guys (maybe girls too) who despertely want a mustache.... and other chemicals of ceaseless wonders. It was also underground and I bet J.K.Rowling's depiction of Snape's Potions class was inspired by our lab.
    So there! :P

  3. Hey Anand,

    nice to read ur comments... and ofcourse chemistry labs anywhere could be a lot of fun ;)... but loyola school cud beat us... ha! NEVER ;)... i still have the HAC spirit in me...

    Chem lab was fun with Lucy teacher around whose accent and actions were unique! the "boiling like anything" was another of her unique statements with her 2 fav words "like anything" :))... we have driven her mad "like anything" :))

    we've also broken umpteen number of testtubes... n beakers... n run around the chemistry lab like mad... i remember getting mixtures and showing it to rema.. n rema wud tell me "oh! thats mg and ca" (cause she wud have done that) and i wud just test it and go back for another ;)...

    another example is our physics lab exam where i was doing the lens expmt and nithya was doing the electricity wala. And when we exchanged spots after around 45 mins i found she was meauring electricity with a "Galavanometer" :O :O :O..

    cockroaches n rats were taken care of under the stict vision of Sophy teacher and anusha's enthu..

    botany was pathetic... i cud never see thru that microscope n that hydrilla plant gave us too many bubbles :))

    maybe i shud write a blog on the lab sessions that we had in school ;)
