Memories at Swargarani by Bhavana

TWO YEARS IN SWARGARANI, A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
  -Bhavana.Muralidhar B.A., LL.B., LL.M

I was fortunate to have pursued my collegiate education in a prestigious institution like Swargarani. 
When I walked through the open gates of Swargrani PU College, as a young tenth graduate, I was both nervous and excited. The Swargarani family very quickly embraced me as their own and thus began a memorable journey together!
My everyday commute to college was not an easy one, as I had to change two buses and lug around a heavy bag, which was partly heavy because of the books and mostly because of the lunch boxes I carried around. The long walk down ‘double road’ (as it is famously called by the student community) was made bearable, thanks to the company of my friends who have been associated with Swargarani since their kindergarten days. They would reminisce about their school days and each day I would hear anecdotes on how enjoyable their foster years at Swargarani were. Every time my friends spoke about their teachers in Swargarani, their eyes would shine with admiration. Years later, one of my friends confided in me, that she pursued engineering only because of a teacher, who had made her fall helplessly in love with coding! 
That’s when I realized that Swargarani was shaping the lives of many students, by instilling in them a sense of vision and the vigour to pursue great goals!

Thanks to Swargarani, I met the most delightful bunch of classmates who have gone on to pursue great feat. Most importantly, I made friends for life. The institution always instilled in us students the spirit of being a ‘family’ and we were all collectively and fondly addressed as ‘Ranians’. 
The various co and extra-curricular activities organized by the school was instrumental in helping us explore and grow our talents. It was in Swargarani that my resolve to pursue law for a profession, was strengthened. I bagged the prizes in debate and speech competitions and was constantly encouraged by the faculty and staff at Swargarani to pursue my interest in the legal studies. 
Swargarani gave us students the liberty to be carefree and at the same time instilled in us a sense of responsibility to take charge of our lives.

 I miss the long corridors, the science exhibitions, the merry banter during lunch breaks, the euphoric sports day and the cheerful Christmas celebrations at Swargarani. I miss juggling between classes and the enthusiastic discussion we had with the faculty in classes. Little did we know, and I’m sure my batchmates reading this will concur, that the days we spent as ‘Ranians’ were the best days of our lives. Many of my classmates went on to become doctors, engineers and other professionals. While on most days we are holed up in office cubicles, busy in work, we all secretly long for that one bell to call us to lunch, that one announcement to call us to prayer and mostly importantly, we long for someone to say ‘students, see you in class tomorrow.’ 

Thank you, Swargarani, for memories to cherish for a lifetime!
