It must have been a proud moment for the faculty and staff of the Government Senior Secondary School , Lal Pani, Shimla, when one of its old students, Justice D.P.Wadhwa, former Judge, Supreme Court Of India who is presently heading the Central Vigilance Committee on Public Distribution System , paid a visit to his Alma mater where he had studied from 1948 to 1951 . Such moments fill the present students with inspiration and they feel motivated to do better in life.
Decades back, it was a proud moment for us studying in S.D. Higher Secondary School ( now Sr. Secondary School ) Shimla, when one of its old students, Col. N. Kumar , PVSM, KC,AVSM , FRGS , - an Everester & a name to reckon with in mountaineering came visiting and delivered a lecture in the morning assembly.
It is again heartening to learn that, Anupam Kher , the noted Bollywood actor, always fondly remembers his Alma mater, DAV Sr. Secondary School Lakkar Bazar, Shimla and his student days there.
On the flip side , the other day, I was shocked to find in the Face Book that a class pal of mine in the S.D. School above had mentioned some exotic sounding institution as his school. I do not know what credit it does to him notwithstanding the fact that being a genius of sorts he occupies an enviable position in the corporate world !
Yes, I agree. When successful people pay visit to their school, others feel proud too. Ignore the last one.
ReplyDeleteI want to go back to school and see how it looks like now. But I am no way successful or don't think anyone knows me there..but still I want to go back and see...
