School Time

This picture caught my eyes while I was browsing through some blogs.
Do they remind you of your glorious school days? Perhaps not for all.. especially those who were not fortunate enough to study in a rural school.


Usually, primary schools are setup in almost all the villages but high schools are not. Rural folks will have to move to a smaller town nearby for further studies. There comes the necessity of a bicycle. It was a thrill riding to the school everyday with friends. Often, there would be a race and some used to hurt themselves in an effort to prove their strength. But I was playing it safe. I would rather give up after giving it a small try :)

Bhairappa, the owner of the papaya plantations was the man in deep trouble. He ought be present during the hours the student community crossed his farm, both morning as well as evening. Else, his papaya trees will be without papayas.
