JNV- the school that rocks.......

One would think how can be a school situated in a jungle, isolated from rest of the world, with a big compound wall can be so pleasant to stay! A 32acres campus, school buildings, boys & girls hostel, teachers & staff quarters, mess, playground with lots of trees & bushes to complete the campus. A talented pool of 80 students selected through an entrance in class 6. To start with everybody feels as if locked in a jail, staying away from the family for the first time. But soon friendship develops with mates in room, house & class. The students are divided in four houses randomly. There is a house master who is their acting guardian. It's a bit tough to get into the routine. Early morning grounds which includes various sports activities. School assembly in multipurpose hall. Queue in mess for breakfast, lunch & dinner.


With immense discipline, every aspect of life is taught here. Its just after a few days, a bond of different kind develops. Different kind i said because, its different. Only JNV guys can understand it. 9yrs after leaving the school, i am writing this blog. This school has given me a lot, better to say almost everything i have today. The teachers i cant forget, the friends who cant forget me & the memories, i can live my life cherishing.


The prayers itni shakti hume dena & ha akhand nandadeep, i can sing them even now. The grey & white uniform, i still want to wear. The playground, i miss playing a lot. This school has taught me to play every game i can play today. The inter house sports, quiz, debate & what not. It definitely had something special. The students who were labelled as duffers there are also doing great in there life. It really had power to convert stones into gems. The inspiring lectures of teachers, the supportive shoulders of friends, the cheering voice of juniors. I miss every bit of it.

There is no need to mention that, most of the closest people in my life are alumni of this school.
Most of us cried at school entry, but everyone shed tears when we left the school.
Love you JNVW!!!
