Sara's 12 Most Memorable Moments

01. The first day of school in Primary 3, the boys on the schoolbus teased me because I didn't know who Leonardo Di Caprio was. ("The Titanic" was in fashion).

02. The time in Primary 4 when I forgot my lines when I was meant to give a speech in Assembly. I went very pale and walked off stage - I didn't cry until afterschool. The next day, one of the scariest and strictest lady teachers came, gave me a hug, and told me that I was very brave.

03. The time I went to Hyderabad when I was 7 and claimed that the Qutub Minar looked like a rusty henhouse.

04. The Summer of 2004 I went to Vellore and made friends with this really beautiful Muslim girl called something who came for her mom's check-up in the hospital. I drew a picture of her and gave it to her. When I left she started crying - and so did I...

05. The time in Primary 3 I kicked a boy called Saagnik in the groin when we were wrestling for fun. I didn't realise it hurt. Until he was rolling around in pain, that is.

06. Last year on our second Drama lesson Sayantika and I performed Columbian Hypnosis to the entire class... It was embarrassing, but in a good way. Nick said we looked "possessed" - but I'm assuming that's in a good way too.

07. Last year for my birthday Sayantika threw a surprise birthday party for me, conspiring with my mom. I opened my front door and found her standing in my living room, before she screamed and ran into my room in a flurry of balloons. ...Shouldn't it be me who's freaking out?

08. Last year in Biology I unfortunately said something and Gargi Ma'am said I was downright oversmart in front of the entire class...it made me cry!!

09. The time in English when I fell off my chair because I was leaning back in it and everyone laughed at me.

10. Last year when we had to perform our Group Song, I blurted out singing untunely when we were supposed to stay quite with only the harmonium playing...

11. Also during my surprise birthday party, we were watching "The Ring". Tito wanted to go to the bathroom and was like "Renee, take me to the bathroom, I'm scared. Now, wait out here, yeah?" *closes door in my face* "You still there, Renee? Don't leave me!"

12. Once when I was in Vellore(again) taking a trip down the residential quarters of the hospital for doctors, a pidgeon dropped something rather unkind on my sleeve. It was gross! EEEEK!

I'll do the plugs later. Too tired. Consumed too many calories from muffins and popcorn.
