Reconnect = Remember + Connection + Networking

What feelings do you have when you reconnect? Do you feel sad and nostalgic? Well, I feel happy and positive when I reconnect to my past. Do you know why!? Because reconnect simply means remember and avoid the mistakes you made, connect to the people you shared company and keep on networking i.e. staying in touch with those people. Whenever I dropped into Vishwa Bharati, people would come up with a question – “Don’t you like your current school (Somerville) or are you still attracted to Vishwa Bharati?” Well, there’s an easy answer to all such queries and questions. I could reconnect to Vishwa Bharati as I could do for all my previous schools. Reconnect is only possible when you have previously been connected to it. Well, when I reconnect to Vishwa Bharati Public School, I connect to my teachers. Thus, I would thank the entire staff of Vishwa Bharati for helping and guiding me as the beacon of light for me. Then, if I reconnect to the school, it reminds me of my first set of friends – Shreya Babbar, Anshu Patnaik, Srishti Pande, Shubhranshu Chaudhary, Mohnish Sharma, Mohit Bhatnagar, Aruna Krishnaswamy, Shweta Bisht and Vasundhara. Heartfelt thanks to all of you for being on my side and cheering me up in the times I was in need of a true friend. If I connect to my class, I connect the most to X – A (2007 – 08) and my new set of good friends – Neha Priya, Vidhan Agarwal, Prachi Shukla, Gargi Joshi, Sanchari Bhattacharya, Vidhi Agarwal and most importantly Raghav Mittal who are still in touch. Thanks to the communication system for keeping these lovely spirits in my heart forever. And now time comes to remember the times when we had canteen parties for almost no reason, times we bunked our Geography classes and Bharti Ma’am chasing us, the times we slept in Nisha Madam’s classes (History), the times we played dumb charades in between the classes, the times we didn’t submit our EVS notebooks etc. So, you can see I could reconnect because of a connection with these people and events. I remember these times and people so that I don’t falter in the near future. Being a baby bird (now of course grown up), ready to take its flight beyond the horizon, I hereby hum a prominent tune.
“Chalte chalte…….. meri ye geet yaad rakhna,
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna……..”
