For the first time ever in my life, I heard

someone tell a teacher to “shut up!”. Not

people in it especially. Never really thought would have called this home and will be

some of the lovely moments captured which I got to experience which really sums

lunatics and weirdos. However, after

spending 2 and a half years with these so-

called lunatics, I found that hidden

and friends I will ever have the privilege of
meeting. The time spent giving each

other shit, showing up to birthdays just to

eat cake, having late-night deep talks

where our imaginations ran wild,
awkward conversations where the most

uttered sentence would be “say
something”, going from hating each other

to somewhat tolerating them ;), failed

attempts to learn Hindi all leading up to
“Chottu Eadhar Aeiyyo”, whole lunch

breaks spent waiting for them to finish

eating, the unexpected friendships,

having the privilege of meeting rosy, fluffy

and fiffy, arguing about who is less
judgmental were some of the best times

of my life. I came to Kodi in the hope that

I’ll survive IB. Now with exams canceled

and the whole world turned upside down,

I realize it was never about the grades or
the perfe ct record. It is about the

relationships and friendships that last a

lifetime and make it all worth it in the end.

Thanks. It was fun. :))
