June brings some happy and sad memories

In the first week of June schools re opens. Children who have just joined school are so happy except some who dont like to go to School. Others are happy because they can wear new school dress, everything new , books, now a days you get variety of pencil boxes, water bottles, tiffin boxes etc. For those who already go to school for them, they get new set of school dress, new books nicely covered. The end of an exciting vacation with a bit of sadness. The smell of the books which they like. They can make new friends They enjoy the pouring rains outside, which also starts at that time only. They get a new raincoat. Everything around is fresh and green , cold and pleasant. For us those days will not return , but we can think of those lovely days and relive it. When we think of it we become nostalgic and miss the fun and the friends especially best friends.

For me school days brings me memories of my friends , especially my best friend with whom I am still in contact. From 1957 I was friendly with her as we shifted near to their house and I used to go in her car daily to school. It also brings memories of how difficult it was to buy books. Once our class students and our teacher contributed and brought me school dress which gave me inspiration to study well and get the top rank.

In the month of June my brother and his daughter got married. Cant forget my niece's marriage . We were in Dubai in April when she got an alliance fixed . My brother's wife is my husband's sister's daughter. So she is very close with us. So she waited for us to talk to the boy's side people . After we came back only my husband spoke to them and the engagement was fixed and marriage was in June.

Everyone waits for rain in June after the hot season and agni nakshatram in April and May. In Mumbai sometimes there is heavy rain and sometimes not much rain. While working used to get stuck in the rain, the train used to stop in between and we had to get down the train and walk along the tracks. Sometimes we have got lift in the truck too. When we had no phone it was difficult to send a message to our people , had to phone someone who has a phone and tell them to go and convey the message. Once I did not know that there was heavy rain outside and I was enjoying playing carrom. When we came outside only noticed the rain and a colleague of mine came with me and that day I stayed in my sister in law's parents house and left next day.

Last but not the least in the month of June 24years back I had a fall on the reopening day of School when my elder daughter was in Xth, son in IXth and younger daughte rin VIIIth. I had hip bone fracture and because of the Doctor I had to be in bed for two months and was aske dnot to move my leg, except during eating I had to sit for sometime. Any how because of another good Doctor and after another operation I was ok. After physiotheraphy which was very difficult as there was less blood circulation , then first walked with a stick , but started going to office and joined Contract bus as earlier I used to go by train. Anyway by God's grace I am ok now , had to undergo another operation in 1999 and after that I was still better.

Dont wake up with the regret of what you could not accomplis yesterday
wake up while thinking about what you will be able to achieve today
