So glad to have been nurtured in times when a "teacher's remark" in the school calendar and asking for Dad's signature wasn't "cool"; instead, it evoked much FEAR and has been one of the vital "nutrients" to shape the man in me! By the way, this was that time of the year when we waited with bated breath for "picnic" announcements to happen! Holding hands with a friend having the roll number after mine and "calculating" whether I would get a window seat in the bus was simply thrilling! Even a one-dayer within LUSH GREEN (those were the days!) environs of the Aarey Milk Colony, Vihar/Powai Lake or the Picnic Spot was so much fun!
