It was the duty of class monitor to take all of us to the prayer ground.
All tried to to be in the queue to stand along with their friends, but unfortunately we had to stand according to our heights.
So our convoy started.
It crawled with enormous pushes from back.
we tried to give finishing touch to our dressings, like tying up all the buttons, arranging school badge and belt in the right positions.
Some were rubbing their shoes from the socks, standing on the other leg only. to make them seem polished.
Chit-chats continued in the path although class monitor advised us to put our forefinger on our lips.
So finally we reached prayer ground.
It was a small area, with a little stage on a side.
On which School Principal and some teachers were standing.
Music teacher was ready with some students on instruments and himself on harmonium.
We all were commanded attention/serenity.
And then to stand with with eyes closed and hands joined in prayer style.
After Gaytri Mantra prayer started.
During the prayer I used to open my eyes many times.
And what I saw was
Some of them again rubbing their shoes.
Some were yawning. (small hands covering that little aperture looked so cute)
Some were like me looking here and there.
And some trying to hide their nails
Girls were adjusting their ponies.
If it would have been winter:
Some were rubbing their hands to get some heat out of it.
some were adjusting layers of cold-creams and boroplus :P which their moms applied on their faces.
some were trying to put both hands inside the sweater.
Teachers standing between and at the end of queues tried their best to make us civilized.
But kids are kids.
Standing in the ground in that hot summers made at least one student to see stars and lose consciousness and at last fall on ground.
Teachers rushed in and took him/her in some room.
I don't know how they treated them, I never went there.... :)
Prayer continued.
Some were really interested in the prayer, and kept their eyes closed and lips murmuring something.
I also did this many times.
And that was the most divine scene one can see on this earth. Little kids lost in prayers.
Seeing them itself gives divine feeling.
And finally main prayer ended.
