DIPA recalls carefree days

On this edition of star nostalgia, Dipa Khondhokar fondly remembers her days from school and all the fun she had.
"My first school was Rayer Bazaar High School, where I studied till KG-1. My brother Ratan and sister Rupa also studied at the same school. When my classes ended, I went over to my brother's class and sat there. I had a lot of fun during those days."We would wait for our mother to pick us up from school everyday, and on the journey back home – we had loads of fun and created a lot of hubbub. But I didn't make many lasting friends, as I only studied there for a year.
"I was then admitted to class two in Savar Primary School. I also studied there for a year. Later, I joined the Narayanganj Girls High School – from where I completed my SSC exams. I started to make good friends from class five. Farzana, Liza, Jinia, Sheuly, Lopa, Papia are some of my friends from those times – with whom I still keep in touch.
"I have many happy memories with my friends from the school days. When I was in class nine, we used to have non stop adda sessions at one of our friend's house. Sometimes my friends and I also roamed around. All these were done without my mothers consent though.
“I remember getting punished by our religious studies teacher for my unrulyness – by making me hold my ears or by making me stand up on the bench. I also remember a regular occurance during school days. A group of boys used to follow me on cycles, when I returned home on a rickshaw. I always found that amusing."
