Our school days ended officially on Saturday with our farewell. I'll give you some of the pics and the nostalgia stuff later. Right now, here is the talk I gave to the gathering :
There was so much more I could have said...wish I had. But well.
"Good afternoon Reverend Father Principal, honorable staff...hi XIthies, and the ladies and not-so-gentlemen of the class of 2008,
stating the obvious, I feel nostalgic. Yeah, it's a strange moment, saying goodbye to a place you've been in for so much time...14 years in my case. This place has given me so much I can't possible ever explain. And now to think that I am going to go away..no more an active part of this...feels so empty. The very thought ki ab roz subah school nahi jaana hai...that school's ended, khatamm, officially, is very strange, believe me.
Teachers, aapse bass yehi kehna hai ki...
Hum aapko bhool jaayein aise ho nahi sakta,
Aur aap humein bhool jaayein aisa hum hone nahi denge. :)
Really, you all have been the cornerstones of life...thanks a lot, humein jhelne ke liye, humein guide karne ke liye. And hum log itne buray bhi nahi hain jitna lagta hai, trust me. We all love you, adore you, respect you, forever. Jaate jaate appse haath jod ke maafi maangti hoon agar kabhi bhi koi bhi galti huyi ho toh. Bhool-chook maaf keejiyega. :)
My dear juniors. First of all, thanks. Thanks for making this day memorable for us. Pehle lag raha thaa ki yeh hamari farewell party nahi, hamari kick-out party hogi...but no, this day has been so cherishable. Thanks again. Aap logo ne after all prove kar hi diya ki aap hamare juniors hain. :D
And yeah, aap sab 11thies ke liye kuchh bahut hi interesting lines hain....sunaakar toh jaaoongi, naaraz mat hona please....it goes like this :
Aapse bichhadne ki khabar milte hi hamare dil ki perfume bottle se sab kuchh bhaap bann kar ud gaya...khuda kare aap jaise dhakkan sabko mile. :D
Wish you all a great life ahead.
And my dear classmates. You people are some of the most wonderful, most amazing, most bindass people I have ever met. Vishwaas nahi ho raha na? :D I mean lag nahi raha hoga ki aap sab log itne achchhe hain, but trust me, I'm right. School has been great, and hopefully the days ahead are so also.
To the boys: Guys, listen here, this is for you......bhailog, college mein bird-watching ke siwaa padhai bhi karna....and prove to the world that you all have the worth that you have. You can so do it....wish you a great life. You guys are wonderful. ;)
To the girls: two tips-- first, Keep wearing sunscreen, and second, let's avoid jealousy. :D Wish you a wonderful life too.
So thank you all for your time, yeh maante huye ki aap sunn rahe thay....be good, be responsible, be happy, keep smiling, enjoy your work, all the best with all that you do, have a wonderful life...this is Sanyukta sending her love and best wishes your way, forever."

brilliant post friend, just too good...i just feel that u are too touched by ur school memories...like with the speech so lite n playful...were u tryin' to conceal the real pain of leavin' the school...kuch khatam ho gaya hai n u just feel too confused...aage boards ..career...kya karein..?
but trust me life will be like this...fast n unbelievable...i remember one of my teachers sayin' to me tht --"changes will be there ,but it's YOU who gotta accept it "...
keep it up...make school feel proud of YOU
Hey..thanks a lot yaar :) well the pain was there no doubt...the speech being informal kind of lessened it for sure...and who listens to boring formal speeches anyways :D And I wanted people to, hopefully they did.
I think you are too generous with your compliments ;) (Should I say "keep it up" too...? ) :D
nah..isme keep it up kehne ki kya baat hai yaar....n u cn make borin' formal speeches kinda cool too ...waise bhi u expressed urself naa , ab formal -informal kis kaam ka isme girl....
haan...people listen to formal speeches if they are good...n farewell waala thing is a lot better than sonia gandhi speakin' in her italian-hindi ...tht..we r on path of misery if the same government rules the state....
I hope tumne aisa kuch nahi kahaaa hoga..apne school princi liye :D
Forgot to tell you last time tht tips part fr guys...will it work ? i mean ki we cn try to stop bird watching...but tab kya karein jab u r in a bird sanctury? Regardin' provin' the worth...usme toh hum expert hain ;)
Your post has made me really emotional because a)Even I'm leaving school. and b)We're not even having a farewell. I don't hold anything against my school but it makes me feel sad that we'll not have a kick out party I'll not be able to give a speech. Ouch.
Anyhow, I love your speech! You are toh matlab just brilliant. It's good that your post had the fun element in it and you thanked the 11thees. Otherwise the guys don't give speeches at all and the girls only thank the teachers. We hosted a farewell party for the 12thees last year and they only thanked the teachers who basically did nothing except well..teaching them. We had organized the farewell, we gave the money, hell we even pestered the principal to let them in when she got angry after they said that they wanted to bring a bulldozer inside. And it is precisely because of them that we aren't having a farewell party this year. Unhone principal ko pichle saal itne taare dikhaaye ki is saal unhone pehle hi haar maan li. Anyway, it's okay, chalta hai.
I was pretty much prepared to give a speech. I mean maine to gaana bhi yaad karke rakha tha sabke liya gaane ko. It's called Time of Your Life by GREENDAY. Agar nahi suna to lyrics check karna, mast hai. Agar sahi lage to bataana, e-mail kar doonga. I was also gonna talk about me economics teacher..yar usko I love you bolna tha jaane se pehle. Aur chemistry waale to I hate you bhi bolna tha..sab aadhe raste reh gaya. Par chalo, jaate jaate we made history. We are the first batch in the history of the school that didn't get a farewell. Go us, Hip Hip hurray!
And bete, apne speech dete time dhyaan rakha kar. Classmates mein ladkon ko "bhailog" bolkar pata nahi kitno ka dil tod diya hoga. "Bhai" shabd bahut buri tarah se lagta hai yaar, dhyaan rakha karo. And yeah, birdwatch nahi karenge to kya karenge? 18 saal ki umar tak parents kehte hain ki padh lo kutton, aage jaakar to ladkiya hi dekhni hain college mein. Abhi tumne bol diya ki college mein bhi padho. Aise hamaara kya banega yaar? Jab 60 ke ho jayenge tab ladkiyan dekhna shuru karenge kya?
Chal forget it, kal ke chemistry practical ke liye good luck. Love potion ka dhyaan rakhio aur external ki jawaab de de ke haalat patli kar diyo. Good luck! :P

What a wonderful idea.. :D tumne pele kyun nahi kaha....mujhe yehi toh kehna thaa princi se... :D Aur woh bhi sonia accent mein :P
#Ish
You ppl are not even having a farewell party? Aw...that's too disappointing. Strike karr do...dharna do...skool chhodne se manaa karr do... :D :P...ya phir Gandhigiri....Princi ko phool bhejo (stinging bees aur gande-gande insects chhupa karr unme :P )
but farewell toh le lo yaar....Go, you ppl. Hip hip hurray :P
I decided to thank the 11thees anyways, last timers didn't do that to us, and it hurt. We'd put in so much effort in kicking 'em out...aur thank you bhi nahi mila. Hadd ho gayi thee.
Yeah I read the lyrics of Greenday's Time Of Your Life. It's wonderful...do you have the audio?
#Abhi and Ishmeet
Yaar birdwatching karne ko manaa thodi kiyaa hai? (aur karti toh kaunsa tum log maanane waale ho...? :P) Bass yeh bola hai na ki saath mein padhai bhi karna...life set nahi hui toh haath waali chidiyaa bhi udd jaayegi...furrrr. :P
Rahi "bhailog" ki baat....toh jaan-boojh ke hi bola thaa....ah, aise dil todne mein jo mazaa hai na...woh kahin nahi hai...speech safal ho gayi meri toh stage par se saare shocked aur bujhe huye chehre dekhke....jaise hi "bhailog" bola... :P :D
hey princi ko toh thodi kehanaa hai yeh....abhi bhi chance hai..rally kar do....juniors ko bol do.....hungama create kar do....n speech bhi poori bol dena....tension kya hai...."picture abhi baaki hai mere dost"..:)
listen girl,bird watchin' hamaara dharam hai....college mein iski degree nahi toh kya..merit hai isme meri...ishmeet ki bhi hogi...n tum toh khair manaao ...u could have been a bird too...experts se bachnaa mushkil hi nahi naamumkin hai dear....;)
pata nahi i'm havin' an intuition ki 'bhailog' kehne par .reaction hua hoga....THANK GOD !! BACH GAYE :P
Kuch nahi karne waale yaar school ke bachche. Bahut jaldi haar maan gaye woh log. Proper disappointment hain. Sabne teachers se kaha aur mere khayaal se teacher ne to principal se baat hi nahi kari. Shayad principal ko bolte to maan hi jaati..achchi aurat hai. Ab toh waise bhi bahut der ho gayi. Abhi tak toh admit cards bhi nahi diye humko. Mereko to dar lag raha hai ki mereko to dene ka iraada bhi nahi hai unka. Kal pata chal jayega..ceremony type hai. Ya to de denge nahi to stage par bulaakar sabke saamne zaleel karenge. Dekho kya hota hai.
Yeah, I have the audio of Time of Your Life. Mereko apna e-mail ID bata de..I'll e-mail it to you.
Waise baat teri theek hai..jumne kaunsa tere kehne se birdwatching nahi karni. :P Par yeah, haath waali chidiya waali baat bhi theek hai. Par chalo, pehle college mein ghuse to sahi. Mere ko to darr hai ki main plus two mein fail hokar juice ki rehri lagaunga. :P
Dil todne mein tumhe maza aata hai..yahaan ladkon ke baare mein kaun sochta hai. Chalo theek hai, that's how it works. Hum bhi chance maarna nahi chodte.

#Abhi
Nahi re...ab toh gaya time :( chalo koi nahi, college mein dekhenge..I'll stand for the student council elections too...why don't you all here decide to do some farji voting for me, hmm? *blows delicately at her fingernails*
Naa naa, bhailog kehne par woh hi rxn (damn my chem teacher! aadat pad gayi hai "reaction" ko aise likhne ki! :D) ..hua thaa jaisa I'm describing...I didn't miss a single detail yaar...sab kuchh happily imprinted hai dimaag mein. What a really wonderful moment was that! *sigh*
Goodluck for your birdwatching ;) Hopefully you won't land up with some bird that has sharpie-sharpie retractable claws :P
(daraa diya na!)
#Ish

My mail ID is sanyu28@gmail.com
Do mail me the audio whenever you have the time.
Haath waali chidiyaa ki baat theek hai na? :D Great. Saare "bhailog" ko bhi kehti...but pehle se hi mood kharab ho gaya thaa sabka..toh socha aur kyun bure-bure khayal doon sabko :P
Aur juice ki rehri?? C'mon yaar, kuchh aur creative soch :D
Kya kaha u found the blogger version of Sulz ki template? Wow, that's gotta be cool....abhi check karti hoon..thanks a lot! (mujhe pata thaa tum kisi din mere kaam aaoge! :P)
thanks again!
#Birdy
Ah, so here you are, finally tashreef laaofying to Serendipity on blogspot. Great. Being only the third person to know my blog address as well as to have the..er....privilege to know me in real life, kabhi kabhi idhar ka comment count badhaya karo yaar...sometimes we have such lovely discussions going on in the comments ;)
Frankly toh I don't know whether I'm gonna get selected..kamaal hai yaar...sabko pata hai aur mujhe nahi..
Aur "lover boy"? Who? :P I mean, kaunsaa waala? :D And he said "She's bigger than this place.." ??! WTF is that supposed to mean?? :D
Aur tainu nahi karni birdwatching? No comments on that? :D
To see into my lie, you gotta know "who" nature is to me !!
the lie is that it's not her "friends" that miss her ,it's me . thanks for that senior-to-junior-encouraging wali fake compliment.
Aww..come on, birdy (how i love calling you that! :D) that wasn't a fake compliment... i just wished u Happy Blogging..that's all. Don't sound so acidic... :D
And by the ways, at the risk of sounding fake and patronizing again, which i don't mean to, guess i should tell you that you were supposed to reply to my comment on ur post right there in your comment box.
That "lie to nature" and the intro post are fabulous, by the way.
Man, abhi tumne meri juice ki rehri waala pura idea to suna hi nahi. See, the academy that I went to for coaching had teachers who were IITians themselves. So my juice ki rehri will have a banner which says - STUDIED FROM "IITIANS BUT STILL SELLING JUICE...AB SOCH LO TUMHARA KYA HONE WAALA HAI KAALIYA!"
Trust me, creativity to bhagwaan ne thoos thoos ke bhari hai. Thoda bahut dimaag bhi bhar diya hota to better hota. And agar juice waala idea nahi chala, toh I'm gonna start doing stand-up comedy. :P
Aww....this is it....What a special day of school !!! Left school...thought i would speak something touchy but hten i couldnt !!! dunno why... :) 3 years hence...I miss school days !!!
Keep on goin guya, Nice commentary
