Convent
of Jesus and Mary, Pindi
Point,
Murree
(1876-2006)
You
cant be a true conventarian and not wake up having Sister Clotilda’s
6am bell ring in ur ears many years after graduating from CJM. Its not
easy to put those memories behind. They weren’t memories,they
were those little particles of dust on the ground that one day were
embedded into the brick that formed the foundation of some monumental
building.
Many,
many, years later you would still be able to smell the convent,taste
the school toffee,crave Sister Marie Rose's chocolate fudge and listen
to the sound of that commanding angeles bell. On occasions, you might
even feel the fear that you felt during proclamation or on the way to
Sister Berchmans,Sister Viany,Sister Andrew's or simply the principals
office. And any time you would find urself in a gray, thick fogged,
cold, environment the convent is probably the first memory that hits
your mind. The convent was not an experience. It was a life. A life
which you despise while you’re living it but miss when the real
world engulfs you. Many years later,you will want to have the strongest
connection to that life again and will talk about it proudly with the
fondest of memories.
This
site is truly dedicated to those very important years that I spent in
the convent. Its those "7 years at pindi point". But thats
not all. Its also the link to all the conventarians which share this foundation
with me. I truly wish I could squeeze in everyone’s names from as
far back as I remember and even before. But hey, if you access this site
and would like ur name or someone else’s here plz feel free to email
me with ur contact and any pictures or anything that you would like to
put in. I cannot promise to have everything here in one web page, but
ill try my best to cover that which is most important and unforgettable.
