The Last Children's Day
It hurts to even say this; the fourteenth of this month was the last school celebration I attended on the occasion of Children's Day. I don't know which school I'll get into after my boards, but definitely there won't be any more celebrations for me in this Carmel.
Throughout these twelve years, there have been endless memories and I still marvel at the fact that I'm about to leave this environment in a few days: it's like 'the end of an era'. The day was mostly about clicking pictures with friends, classmates and juniors. As usual we were allowed to wear outfits of our own choice and again, everyone was busy checking out who was looking the best. We were excited to find out what our 'dear' teachers had prepared for us (and were a little upset when we didn't find what we expected to). As soon as everyone was present we began our 'photoshoot' ; I was the one who kept on clicking the worst candids possible ( my friends hate me for that). It was a huge question from everyone whose picture I clicked that why do I snap shots when they are not ready, or are not posing. My explanation was that,"Everybody has a good picture when they are posing; but pictures clicked without the knowledge of the person in it are the best, because they are natural."
Here are examples:
All I remember is my best friend Sneha insisting me to click a picture with her; but as usual it didn't happen. My bad.
Then we went to watch the program, which was initially a bore, but it improved gradually. After that we hurried to the ground to have out tiffin( to feast, rather), and it was over even before we let it sink in. The day was a normal celebration day, with a lot more laughter (especially because of my pictures). Remarkable was the fact that it was the last time we got the chance to plan what to wear and what food to have because we won't have any other celebration after this. There won't be any other announcement telling us to proceed to the auditorium one by one and no one to scold us if we wore anything indecent( not according to the school calendar). This might seem very normal for anybody else, but only Carmelites know what it is to be a part of this.
Yes, it was the last children's day.
The sad part is I don't have any picture with Supriti; I won't get to see her in her wonderful outfits anymore and I won't be jealous anymore.
