i remember to have had many occasions in school to enjoy and take a break from my regular lifestyle in school.
We had excursions to local hangouts organised by our school almost every academic year, sometimes we had even two as i remember. I would like to share with you such experiences.
I was in my 7th grade when i had visited ramoji film city, it was located at quite a distance from my school but i found the journey very enjoyable. Unknowingly we longed for the long journey rather than the destination. The singing and dancing the innocence was all part of this journey, it was a long one. I smile at its memories, everyone danced to popular music that was played in the bus. I had mixed feelings about this journey though. Well, i have this memory of all the boys applying hair jell, which made hair shine in a color UV red, it was called UV jell. i put some too. It was a different time back then, as usual i went ahead to explore this on my own. My pack of friends was with me. Most of the class was in the reach of my eye. Due to this decision i had my friends miss the coupons distributed to all, lovely coupons they were they just had so many freebies. At the end of the day my other classmates were kind enough to give all of us 1 or 2 coupons out of their 30 somethings because we had none. Well we took our own course throughout this theme park...travelling in random buses. It was noted that friendships got thicker, and we had behaved like we were grown ups. I somehow felt myself restricted physically to meet the demands of this maturity. I was still a kid, 12 maybe. But no one asked me why we took the separate course, or maybe it was a mutual decision to have fun. As the day progressed we lost track of the group that was going with us, off course that is. It drastically fell, they had chosen to be an other tributary too. We had occasional meetings though. But it was more like we were still together. The teachers, were usually around. I definitely left my own class teacher behind somewhere. I had faint memory of her getting angry as we met in the evening.
Like all excursions it was different, at the end of the day people who were taking a nap on my shoulder were the ones who had no idea who they had been all day. They behaved like grown ups made choices that gave them many setbacks but a hell lot of satisfaction...I don't know the story of everyone who had gone off course but had i remembered mine any better than this...i could have argued my way home that i was prudent enough to choose the off course..it wasn't some decision i made on my own to go that way..none of the teachers seemed too worried that we might be lost..just proving me right that we were not small kids.
It was you could say a learning experience, we all were in the same park, took different routes, explored every place with our own perspective, ran around, discovered hidden feelings among ourselves, life had never felt so complete till then..living a lifetime in a dayy!!
But the parting wasn't sorrow..it was just WOW!!
