- When the monsoon would arrive on 2^nd or 3^rd July, the first day of school opening and a holiday would be declared due to water flooding in the tents due to heavy downpour. And we would walk back from the school making paper boats and having fun on the way.

- When bund and chole for 5 paise were the favorites at school canteen inspite of the tiffin with parantha and omelette, sometimes sandwitches, on few other occasions ‘aloo ka parantha’ with ‘Aam ka achar’ which my mother gave every day. Noodles were not even known.
