25/01/2018…
Well, many of us don’t know what is on that day but yes, there is something which many of us are opposing!!! You get it right!!! It’s the day of our scheduled Official Farewell…
I know you don’t want to hear such things now and will try your level best to pull up flaws in my points and you can do that!!! But I would still request you to read…
Many of us want to gather at a particular place and celebrate these glorious 14 years because the location doesn’t matter but your friends do!!! But… Could you have possibly met these bum chums, if CA-221 didn’t allow you to!!! You will surely miss that “Duty, Reverence and Knowledge” printed emblem!!! Won’t you??? You might have lost all your feelings towards Salt Lake School (Eng. Med) but how can you forget those memories you made there with your friends!!! How can you forget those times when Sayan Sir caught you playing in the Library period??? Those Life skills classes??? A class of fun and enjoyment!!! You will miss your friends… Take out the “school” from every memory you have with your friends, then what are you left with???
It is this Gray and White building where you met people and your friends and you spent 6 hours every day for 14 long years!!!
Imagining things won’t be a problem… Place yourself in a hypothetical situation where you are working in some company in a 9 to 5 job, with a salary package of 12 lacs per annum… You are connected with all your friends on Facebook and Whatsapp… There is a group named, “SLS 2018”… And suddenly someday, you get an opportunity to enter your school and sit in those same classrooms which shaped you up!!! Would you not come??? Will you not come for that Chemistry Labs, those broken Physics Apparatuses, that Pankaj Sir’s ringing mobile phones??? Would you not??? Imagine yourself in a situation, 20 years from now… You are bound to miss this building… You are still a student and have free access to every place… But once you are a passout or revisit the school on some occasion, you will meet the teachers and only a certain segment of it is open to you!!! Then the pangs hurt most!!! What was close to our hearts once is now a complete stranger… Will that not be painful???

What treatment was meted out to us on our Unofficial
Farewell is not at all pardonable!!! And I am not trying to justify that
behavior!!! We all have self – respect and that would not be damaged in any way
if we want to add another item to our list of memories… If we don’t go, it is
nothing but a loss from our side!!! A specific group of teachers made us cry!!!
Wikipedia defines school as, “An organization for providing education”… And an
organization does not mean only 5 teachers!!! It means a lot more I guess… My
sole point is keeping aside your ego for once, I request everyone to attend
this Official Farewell at the place where WE ALL STARTED OUR JOURNEY, CA – 221,
because crying over spilt milk will never help but cause more grief!!!
