Jawahar Navoday Vidyalaya Mahadevpur, Lohit district, Arunachal Pradesh is part of my life and is part of me. Life would be incomplete if I miss to mention Mahadevpur. At that time the place was not so beautiful. At that time not more people were educated there. Small shops, few video halls and few schools were there. And those places were Centre of Universe for everyone of us. One school among those is Jawahar Navoday Vidyalaya (JNV). I was schooled in the same school. Now I am a man! But, life as a school boy, they were altogether really great, interesting and funny too. My school years, like most of us have, were the best years of my life. Now they are gone and will never come back again. We cannot redo the things. Worth of earth altogether cannot bring the same for me.
They are my vivid memories. Sometime, I miss my teachers, my friends, our cooks, office staff and above all the school. In fact till date my closest friends are the ones I made in hostel. Academically I was sound and did well till class X. The lowest marks which I scored was in Class XI. I had scored only 04 in Mathematic in half yearly examination. And in class 12th, it was the worst result of my life.
I was less popular among my seniors and friendly with my classmates. But to my juniors and I used to crack jokes and made them laugh. Sometimes I used to help them in their studies. But I shared all my emotional feelings with classmates. One among them was was Monindra Masia. Many friends are there but I had good bondings with Tushar Kumar Jha, Rupam Talukdar, Sudershan G. Bose, Dimbeswar Das, Ai Thown Gohain, (Our Leonardo Di Caprio) and many more to mention. Plabita Konwar (now Gogoi) was also very close to me. She was the tallest girl in the entire school( I guess). She was beautiful, gorgeous and always happy. She used to have really good handwriting. The most striking feature about her was_-her braod smile.The most unforgettable persons are my classfriends. Don’t know if they miss our friendship or not. The good thing is that We are still in Touch and and still good friends. Don't know if they remember those days or not but I will always and forever!
I don’t expect them to remember me but I will always. Those friends and their friendshipare unforgettable for me.Those parties, celebrations, those laughters, funs, jokes, tears and sadness, worries, joy and pain, jealousy and conspiracy, cheating friends, fooling teachers, all those anger against teachers, cooking illegally (meat, egg, puri, halwa, chana, fish in a glass using wax), going out of school campus to watch movies in video halls,(and sometime getting caught red handed -Film Dilwale is an example) plucking berries in the jungle, going to Namsai, swimming in Noa Dihing River (all activities without teachers' permission). Watching movies in dinning hall late at night, watching programmes likeChandraKanta, Shaktimaan, Rangoli, Chitrahaar, Geet Bahar, Miss World Contest besides football and cricket. Stealing eggs from the mess and getting caught by the cookmen(Rupam knows it well; Amarkant Bhaiyya caught him), celebrating Holi with tooth paste(Colgate), Ujala, Blue Powder(neel), with meat ka Jhol, and even with quadriderm , enjoying flood, fishing, getting shifted from JNV to Government Higher Secondary School during flood, taking double breakfast, taking lunch and dinner without being in a line saying CBSE ka Maamlaa Hai and our All time favourite soaps- OK and Lifebuay... All memorable !!! :( :(
Tour (Migration) to Uttar Pradesh (Gorakhpur) with 21 other guys by Train are all vivid and Memorable. And that was my first Journey by Train !! They cannot be compared with anything on the earth. And all of a sudden I realised that I had already spent more than six years in JNV Mahadevpur and had to leave the Hostel Life !!. Now, We have our own ways to move. And I know I have to move on. No one will be guiding me anymore, no teachers, not even those closest friends of mine. No one will come to guide me, to show the way. I loved the way I was and still I love the way I am now! Life seems to get more Complex and Intricate after school days. Sometimes feel like giving up but NO I will not, as I always say Such is Life !!!
