Snippets from first few days as a debutante at LMGC


           Snippets from first few days as a debutante at LMGC                                   Today on founder's day I reminisce the day I joined La Martiniere Girls in the year 1984, with Mrs Keelor as the principal who interviewed me with both my parents and yes all due formalities were adhered to a tee..  she gave my dad the look and told him in her Anglo Indian tone Mr. Masood  "kitna baccha paida karega." ... i was the third in the line of the four siblings. So the day comes with Mrs Shepherd as my
lower prep teacher being familiar already as she had been the prep teacher to both my elder sisters,  very affectionately addressed us  as the 'Masood sisters'. Mummy picked me up dressed impeccably in her chiffon saree and took me as i gave off early and yes on a rickshaw ride.As my compensation for the first day of school on the way back treated me at Kwality the most upscale restaurant for all blue blooded people in the 80's.Then came days when the go-go ice cream wala bhaiyya recognized mum and at chutti time would smirk and say... mummy aayi hai toh aaj toh choco bar milegi... so mum, us sisters, three of my first cousins and two of my second cousins all gather at the ice cream wala for our treat. So mum is ripped off the time she sets foot in LMGC thanks to all the kindred.

Loving the soul of an artist

Loving the soul of an artist The catharsis that I needed, As I lifted up the brush to paint, My soul uplifted, the symphony it exuded, Somehow it unleashed the inner stress It look away all my pain, my bruises were caressed You cannot cage the human mind, One must unleash to connect with the divine, Feeling exuberant to follow my passion, Not wasting time on any contemplation, The rhythm of my heart and soul experienced bliss To fight my inner demons, the invisible nemesis, To reveal the inner turmoil, the canvass took, Not competing with any of the gobbledygook Healing the heart and mind of it wounds, To help, to cope, to surface the spirit festooned!!
