Till my 8th Standard

The school is one of the oldest school in my home town run by Roman Catholic church. The school is 500 - 600 meters away from my home. I used to go by walk with my friends. I studied in that school till my 8th standard. I had to go to another school, as co-education is allowed only till 8th standard. My brother, sisters did their schooling there. Our family is personally known to our school teachers. Till my 8th standard (1B through 8B sections), I was the 1st rank holder and the class leader.

9th and 10th Standards

After I complete my 8th standard, I went to another school for 9th and 10th. The school is 2 Km away from my home. I used to go by walk with my friends. I did 9th and 10th (9B, 10B sections) in that school. Those two years were the very bad time in my school life. I hated going to school, many times I purposefully avoided going to school. I was afraid of the unnecessary strict and the brutal beating of then school Head Master and the English master. I had many incidents during that 2 years, but do not want to write here. But I had good teachers too. I love them even today.

11th and 12th Standards

After 10th standard, I went to another school for +1 and +2 (H.Sc) studies. There I started doing things independently based on my own ideas. The school is 4 Km away from my home and used to go by bus. I never traveled in the foot board (gate) of the bus. Whenever I get in the bus, I immediately go inside the bus. I was too quite and independent. I hardly interacted with my friends and/or classmates during my H.Sc studies. I gave too much importance to time even to every minute. I had my own schedule for every activities. All schedules are in minutes. This applies even for brushing, bathing, eating etc. Gandhi, says, "Those who live with their own restrictions/rules are those with freedom". That was one of the golden rule/saying for me. I put too many rules/restrictions for myself (Now, when I look back, some of the rules were too strict that I wonder how I was able to follow them).

And I hated listening to other's rules/restrictions/advice and hardly listen to others. The implications of all those I explained above are:

#. I literally had to fight with my school teachers. Some of my teachers went to the extreme planning not to allow me to write the +2 Govt. exam. Some of my teachers helped me a lot. I love them.

#. As I did all my activities based on the schedule. I hardly spent time with my friends and classmates. Because of this: Most of the people of my home town did not know much about me (In my hometown everyone knows each other very well). I was not able to attend family functions, relative's marriage functions etc. I was not able to and not interested to: watch movies, read news papers. I rather spent all my time with my first love, love on electronics. I call it as my self education.

Completion of School Education

Beside all these issues, finally, I demonstrated me as a leader. I was the class topper in +2. I studied in co-education from 1st standard till 12 th standard, but I was afraid to talk to my female classmates. I was a reserved person during that days. Very rarely girls come and talk to me. That too is for asking any home work note or class notes or any other study materials. I successfully completed my +2 in 1992.
