She was Roja... A few minutes later everybody started pouring in. Within no time there were many many 'men-in-blue' . Those were like ants in an ant-hill moving helter skelter. I just felt like out of place. I had never been in a class with that much of strength before.The bell rung. Now the time for payer. The bell was also very unique in its kind. Its a round brass plate hanging to a tree. And to strike it, there was a special hammer .Those two things were like made-for-each other. It was also got added to my list of "new found things" on that day.
Ah!!! what to say about the prayer "father,we...." . I could not understand a single line of it. I will try to discuss about the incidents connected with prayer sometime later. After finishing the prayer, I got into the class. Everybody was just having great time. Some were laughing loudly. Some talking . Some fighting. I was sitting still . Doing nothing. But, who knew whats going on in me.There was a great turbulence in my mind . I suppose the first person I talked to was our laxman(babu) . radha introduced me to him. I didnt get any jitters when got introduced to laxman. He looked innocent and friendlier. we became good friends later.He is the one of the two friends in shirisha whom i call as "arey,orey,raara..." , the other being anand. I could not say those things to any other friends in shirisha even for today(radha and srikanthdv are exception.we were friends from tagore school days). I was sitting in the last bench after the prayer. shyam was before me. He turned back and inquired about me.Naga Bhoopal was next to him.
