The schools have reopened after the long summer vacation. Little boys and girls, in their uniforms, were seen at the various pick up points of their respective conveyances. One such point is just below my window. Playing around with makeshift items of support helped many among them to beat the boredom of waiting and their excitement was evident as some of them narrated the details of what they did during the hols. The parents' benevolent presence added to the exuberance of the 'riotous' crowd.
There was another bunch of very young children, in bright clothes, with brighter accessories like the schoolbags and umbrellas. Their's was going to be the first foray into the world of learning. Behavioural scientists would term it as their first social interaction which would go a long way in the moulding of their persona.
The schools were also ready to accept their students and almost all of them had taken great pains to make the occasion celebratory. The accompaniment of the traditional orchestra added to the flavour. This year, the south west monsoon is late by a couple of days but the sky is overcast, announcing its imminent arrival.
School going has begun yet again.
Tailpiece.
The parents' active participation in the school going activities are a welcome sight. In retrospect, when I go back to my school going days, I distinctly remember that my parents were actively involved in all that I and my sisters did, but had always made it a point to watch us from afar - without making a fuss - ready to step in when help was needed!
