20 YEARS BACK, WHEN WE PASSED OUT; WE WILL REUNION AGAIN, THERE WAS NO DOUBT !!!

"After entering into the arena of a 
cut-throat competitive world, it is hard 
to find anyone whose boat has never got 
trapped even in a small WHIRLPOOL. 
No matter wherever you are, whosoever you 
are, you have to appreciate that the School 
life is always the best one and no one ever 
forgets his/her childhood SCHOOL; 
20 years back, 
when we passed OUT; 
we will reunion again, 
there was no DOUBT. 
We got 
farewell in 1999; 
everyone became busy to make 
a career and to SHINE. 
What a wonderful journey in our 
School life, it has BEEN; 
so, we came back unitedly to have 
a reunion in 2019. 
In any Inter School Competitions, the 
students of other schools used to 
call us as 'JULIENITES'; 
and after seeing so much championship 
trophys, even the teachers used to say that 
the 'JDS 1999' batch is a batch of ELITES. 
All the students of 
Julien Day School, Elgin Road, 
used to practice sports 
at 'Northern PARK'. 
To reach the address of this school, the 
house of our beloved great patriot, 
'Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose' is 
always the best LANDMARK. 
In those days, 
we used to eat 
'Kaalo Kul', 'Current Noonn', 
'Daadur Chul' and 'ALOOKABLI'; 
we played football on footpaths with 
stonechips or a small pieces of brick and 
despite so much pressure of academic 
curriculum, our life was so BUBBLY. 
To collect photos 
of cricketers and footballers, 
we used to buy bubble gums 
like 'BIG FUN' and 'WORLD CUP'. 
In 1990's era, the romantic songs of 
Kumar Shanu and Alka Yagnik tempted us 
to fall in love, and not all our love letters 
used to get a thumbs UP. 
As there was no 
mobile phones in those 
days, by writing creative love letters, 
we improved our writing SKILLS; 
and when we used to get several 
missed calls in our BSNL landline numbers, 
we used to understand what that 
beautiful girl actually FEELS. 
After any parents-teachers meetings, 
we used to review the red inked 
numbers in our MARKSHEET; 
and then always tried to improvise on those 
subjects so that we get lesser scoldings 
after the next 'Parents-Teachers MEET'. 
While sitting at the last benches, 
we used to sing any SONG; 
no information used to leak out to the top 
level as our friendship was too STRONG. 
Whenever the last two periods 
remained off due to 
any teacher's ABSENCE; 
the caretakers of 'Nandan', 'Globe', 
'Lighthouse', 'Metro', 'Roxy' and 
'New Empire' felt our PRESENCE. 
We enjoyed a lot when our school 
administration used to organize 
'Childrens Day' excursions in 
'Nicco Park' and 'SCIENCE CITY'; 
while in the bus, we used to sing the song, 
'Jumma chumma de de' or 'Hamma Hamma', 
and the girls used to say, 'The minds of these 
boys have become so DIRTY.' 
In our times, we even enjoyed 
the classes of 'Work Education' 
and 'Physical EDUCATION'; 
no matter how much naughty we were, 
wherever we went, we won competitions 
to maintain our school's REPUTATION. 
So many talented students 
have passed out from 
this reputed INSTITUTION; 
which has completed its 50 years of journey 
and we salute to our beloved teachers for 
their outstanding CONTRIBUTION. 
With the JDS Badge, brown tie with the 
respective house colour, brown pant 
and cream SHIRT; 
the name of 'Julien Day School, 
Elgin Road' will always 
remain in our HEART."- Arindam Sain
