♪⚝A New❀Journey❁⩸
I still remember that night when I came Pokhara for the second time, in the darkness of that late dusk everything was new for me, I was even unknown about the place where I had to wait for my brother-in-law at bus station. Though this time I was quite confident as the final destination of the bus on which I was travelling was Pokhara, so anyhow I was sure I will reach Pokhara, this sounds crazy, but in child's mind these things had also found to make great influence. The bus stopped, I came out, heard someone calling "Sanjiv" in the noises of buses in the bus station and when I turned I saw my brother-in-law waiting for me and at that moment I can't explain what I felt like, it was like all fear went over in just some moments.
The academic sessions of schools in Pokhara was not still started since it was just the beginning of Baisakh. My second day in Pokhara and it was of the very day of "New Year 2074" and my first New Year in a very new place. I still remember each and every moments of that day, visiting Begnas Lake, boating there and all. On the next day, I went to fill the form for admission in grade 8 of "Sagarmatha Niketan School" which proven to be one of the best decision of my life and this was the day when my new journey officially begun. Those entrance which was taken for admission, those teachers who were present in entrance, everything was like giving me different vibes and a different feeling. I was so curious to turn in the new uniform, to meet all my new classmates whom I saw in the class photo of school magazine.
So this is the story of my first day in a new school, I still remember that day so vividly, I was turned into a new uniform but had not put on my tie as there was shortage of it, this all things still brings a different smile on my face. On the gate, teachers were welcoming new students and everyone was saying Good morning by joining hands and bowing head (like doing namaste but enchanting good morning). And this thing was totally new for me, I was really surprised, we used to simply greet in my previous schools without joining hands or bowing head. Then, I entered in Grade 8, Section A, the first bench was empty and I sat there. All my teachers and classmates were so friendly, I am never gonna forget them wherever I will go or whatever I will be on my journey. My first class teacher "Sabita Ma'am" she always treated me like her own son from the very first day. There was a person "Rahul Sherchan" who always encouraged me to take part in every inter-school competitions. I was not quite frank with anyone except teachers in grade 8 and I was also unknown of my all classmates name for first few months because there was basic schedule for me for everyday, entering in class, sitting in first bench and whole day used to get over like that though after some months we rotated bench, I started to know my classmates and you know each and everyone was so frank with me. They all had hoped from me that I can break the record of the class topper of those last 8 years and amazingly I did that in the very first term. Everyone was so happy with me, especially my computer teacher "Mahesh sir" and mathematics teacher "Suraj sir" and obviously my class teacher.
There used to be assemble only twice in a week and guess what, on every assembly there used to be asked a quiz question, answering which at first, grant a diary as prize from Principal and the funniest part was that I had collected more than 50 diaries till the end of grade 10. I still remember those two speeches of mine, one given in the assembly on the first Friday when I was a new student that made me known to every students of my school as Mr. Jaiswal and those smiles on the teachers faces while I was giving speech, our principal comparing my speech with one leader, remembering those moments still gives me goosebumps and another was on the last day of farewell of Grade 10, on March 8 that had made whole crowd who were listening that speech sad and silent.
The most interesting part of school life was Grade 9 and 10 where I became so close with my each and every friends of my class, my selection as house captain not only that my selection as class captain and many more memories are connected with Grade 9 and 10. I met one of the best mathematics teacher "Pratap sir", I found a friend in the form of a teacher "Binu Miss", a caretaker in the form of a teacher "Tika maya miss", and a teacher in the form of friend "Abhishek Poudel(Abhi)" who still supports me in every single thing. With many more teachers and my friends so many interesting memories are connected.
