Aroo comments later.. ahile am getting late for school... so one more hai ta... ------------------------------------------ It was April 1998 and we had reached grade 9. It was time for a new class room, a new room and new room mates. There was another Nepali in our class but she preferred to stay with some Indians. So we had 4 people in our room. Me, Anisha, Anita and my old friend Sharmila (who I had a huge fight with). We all got along fine so everything was working out great. As time passed by we started getting more and more naughty. We would have fights where me and Sharmila would tickle Anisha so much that she would be out of control. Slowly all our belongings would be out of the room. The whole corridor would watch our play. If someone had complained Sanju maam, we would have never been able to walk again in our whole life. We still woke up every morning when the bal sudhar said hi to our buns. Sometimes I would wake up early. I would try to wake my room mates but they failed to listen to me. But as soon as I said ?Sanju maam is here,? they would be up and their bed would be as clean as it could be. Those days we did not get to meet bal sudhar. Normally after dinner we Nepali people, which were around 10 would gather up in the hostel and sing and dance in Nepali. We were not allowed to make noise. But the beauty of rules are that they are made to be broken. The jealous Indians would join us. We would compete with them by doing hard dance steps. I remember waking up one morning with a real bad muscle pull. It was so bad that I could not even walk down the stairs. After Sanju maam was done with her evening walk, she would come to the hostel and all of us had to run for our lives. Once my room mates were in the corridor singing and dancing their lives out. I was in the room though that day for a reason unknown. By chance Sanju maan came back early and my friends did not realize that. When they saw her coming towards them, they ran as fast as they could but had no luck. Sanju maam had spotted them already. She came inside our room. Anisha, the fastest one of us, had already slipped into bed and was acting to be sound asleep. Sanju maam went to Anita and started scolding her. Anita stood there with her head stooped low. Her hair was short and came to her neck. Sanju maam went ahead to grab her right ear, but it was lost somewhere within the mass of hair. She tried and tried to grab her ear but the stubborn hair would not move out of the way. In the end Sanju maam put her hair aside, and then grab Anita?s ear and then give her a slap. When Sanju maam proceeded towards Sharmila, the first thing she did was put Sharmila?s hair aside. After she was done with Sharmila, she left the room. As soon as we were by ourselves we started rolling all over and laughing. The look on Sanju maam?s face was enough to make anyone laugh!! ----------------------------------------------------
