It was a very clear morning with the sun spreading his warm blessing all over the place.
Distant birds were perching their own composition with such enthusiasm and women were already busy with their chores.

Anu woke up with a streak of light which had managed to dodge the already drawn curtainsfalling over her face. 'DAY!!!' said Anu in her usual way of welcoming another gift from the gods.
As she went to take a peek through her window, the morning scenes seemed to amuse her as always.
Busy tiffin centres, Hapazard commuters trying to some how reach their office before the D time, Kids with back packs double their size with moms dragging them with one hand and
carrying their lunch kits on the other. Anu fondly remembered her school days.
What a blessed school life had she had?? Although it wasn the same way for her parents obviously due to the
routine visits they had to pay to her class teacher or the head mistress or sometimes the principal himself due to her mischief.The TOC H public school seemed to remember her for all the ryt reasons! That was ofcourse Anu`s view point.As she took a trip down memory lane her mind gave her flashes of her happy and gay childhood.Her Tree climbs,ferry rides, weekly sunday masses at st.Francis which she always managed to reach late, her 3 best of de best pals...Nancy,Jenifer and of course Joe who were always partners in her crime. Ofcourse joe????? Thts saved for later guys!
She sat down at her desk and pulled out her precious pocession. A huge 700 odd brown shaded bound book whic she fondly called..LIFE. LIFE had been and continues to be her way of expressing extreme joy, venting out anger,frustration and tears.Every emotion of hers from her class 6 had been carefully recorded. What just started as an assignment at school to maintain a diary for 2 months had managed to continue as a habit for over 12 years. Anu wanted to turn back to the path she had taken and also to people who had travelled along with her. But she was confused where to start from. So she closed the LIFE and jus opened it...
