I am currently pursuing MBBS from a government medical college in West Bengal and am also a recipient of the JBNSTS senior scholarship. The lessons that I learnt in school still continue to help me in life. Speaking in the assemblies helped me get rid of my stage fright. Attending the Visual and Performing Arts classes, helped me develop a keen interest in music and I can now play the guitar, the ukulele, and the keyboard. Participating in the interschool events, helped me develop better social skills. However, the most important value that I possess because of my school is, discipline and I think that it is an indispensable ingredient when it comes to success.

Even today, when I walk past the school, as if quite unconsciously, I stop for a moment or two, look up at the board with the words “Shri Shikshayatan School” etched on it, and smile. The smile still plays on in my lips, until I have walked quite a long way from there, and 11, Lord Sinha Road, becomes nothing but a misted existence.

Of all the memories, the one which never fails to bring a smile on our faces is that of the picnic to Nicco Park. The two overly excited and inordinately joyous kids of class two ended up having one of the scariest and funniest adventures on the trip. We were like two excited monkeys who were fearlessly ready to give a try to every ride. This journey of mischief, fun, nostalgia, and learning went on for thirteen incredible years. Shri Shikshayatan School has given us so much to cherish for a life time. We will forever remain in debt of this awesome place for making us who we are today.

It was a bright summer afternoon and the last period of that Monday. All of us were too drained to play anything in the scorching heat — not even ‘cops and robbers’ — so we decided to relax and have a little chitchat under the shade of the dais. Little did we know that we would end up having one of the best school days of that summer.
I had not felt so full and so happy in my entire life ever before. It was as if the Universe had felt the need to compensate for all the forthcoming difficult days ahead. My heart felt like a box full of joy, except that it kept expanding every second — and it was only for a split second that I thought — what if it exploded? But, honestly, I couldn’t care less.
The memory of the beautiful day spent at Shri Shikshayatan School makes me teary eyed even now. You must be wondering what’s so special about a regular PT period? Yes, I don’t know either.
