My 1st day @ MSSS

I think it was 4th June 2003....
I felt no nervousness of goingto a new school.Just a bit disappointed that i had only 3 days gap after getting my 10th results.Anyway, with the thought of entering a new phase of life giving me company on a lonely trip to my new school, i entered the school.Being a new admission,i had usual apprehensions of a newie about the school.
I asked 4 directions from members of d skool and entered the class appropriated 4 XI-C.I saw 2-3 guys sitting on the benches in d last row.One of them first noticed me & greeted me with a warm smile.I reciprocated and sat near him.The last place near door in d last row.Trrring!!!!Wasit d School bell.After d prayer session,it was all a hazed images.One teacher after another paraded into d class for each periodeach sparking off another intro of new students ritual.
Though i knew G.P(its still a mystery how she manages to attend d 1st day of each academic yrregularly!!) prior 2 my admission,i knew i wasn`t going to get any spl. treatment meted out 2 me.I never spoke a word that day 2 my neighbours,except telling my name.In fact i was so apprehensive that,i never even had a look of other section guys or even gals till d end of 1st week. ................(will b continued)

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son. "So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! "
