Long long ago ...

Long long ago, so long ago, how long ago, that long ago, that nobody knew how long ago, as long as can be.

This was how we used to remind people of something that had been said to them earlier and about which they had forgotten!

E.g.
Other person: Really? When did you say that?
Us: Long long ago, so long ago, how long ago, that long ago, that nobody knew how long ago, as long as can be.

Initially, it used to only be long long ago, so long ago. The other phrases got added as the year went by!

The Marching Band

School Band....I guess everyone in our gang was in the band except Subha. The band was fun; all of us did so much masti. We all joined in 8th std. The band gave us an oppurtunity to miss classes, hehehe, and most of us utilized it :-)

The band master, was an old man. I don't remember his name. He was pretty happy with the way Prasanna and I played. But there were days when he used to get mad at everyone and just keep screaming. I also remember he used to tease us by saying that we'll cackle like hens. Prasanna and I used to play the ufornium ( I don't know how it is pronounced, it was the biggest instrument, shown in the pics). Though it was a big instrument, it was relatively easy to play compared to the trumpet. Kavita used to play the trumpet. Farrah and Tina used to play the small roll drums. What are they called ? Archu ofcourse was the symbalist.

We always used to practise in the YMCA grounds near school; in the hot sun and get burnt. We used to tie-up all our water bottles and call them " knot-knot-ka-bandan". Does anyone remember why we used to do that ?

Being in the band always gave us special previlages; we used to get to travel in the school bus while other students walked to the YMCA grounds. And ofcourse we used to get food from the canteen while others got nothing. And because we were the best band among all Adarsh Schools, we were always treated like stars. It was fun !

There were many crazy people in the band, we used to see a lot of girls throw tantrums. There was one girl who used to play the tromborne and is now a famous star. Heheheh.

"Don't worry, Be Happy "

Hey,

Do you remember this used to be one of our favourite songs ? We used to sing it quite often and whistle the tune frequently. The video was also extremely funny.

We tried imitating the funny dance steps from the video in class once. We made a long chain and danced with one foot up in the air. It was soo funny; I think we fell down after that.

Do u remember ?
