NABINANANDA PAL (1972)

I took admission to the school in the year 1962 in class II. I remember one incident very clearly - when I was in class III (probably) our class teacher was Chhayadi - on the day of 1st April, some students were thinking to make Chhayadi April Fool. Chhayadi used to ask for a pen from us to tick the attendence register. On that day, I requested  all the class mates not to offer any one's pen to Chhayadi. And I ran to one of the drinking water taps and washed my pen after bringing out all the ink from it. In five minutes, Chhayadi came to our class and asked for a pen. I came forward to offer her the pen. She used it to tick our names but could not do it as there was no ink. We all shouted "April Fool". I did not shout loudly as at that time I thought I was going to have some slaps on my face. Chhayadi wanted to know whose idea it was and I said it was my idea. I closed my eyes. She called me to come close to her. I really got frightened but Chhayadi did not scold me but said I was very clever to make her fool. She requested me to bring another pen full of ink so that she could tick our attendence. She also asked me to go upstairs to fill my pen with ink.

There were many incidences which cannot be forgotten but I recalled my memory of the very childhood as I know most of the write-ups will be  concerning the life from class VI to XI/XII.
