No School

posted on December 19, 2013

Winter is here!

Cold face, cold hands, cold feet… Ah! It’s lovely!

The first morning that fog descended on our school was almost surreal.
It was not Pune; it could not be Pune! Cold face and all the rest, sure, I knew all that. But that kind of fog? It was as if we were on a hill-station!
We could not see things two feet away from us, let alone the school buildings. Everything was misty; school had disappeared!

Standing in queue to punch in, I realised I wasn’t the only teacher delighting in the mist. “No school!” cried one of the teachers. “The school has gone on holiday! No school! Let’s go home!”
