Chirag Leaving for his School on the First Day.

In 2009, I got admission in Pre-Nursery class at St Kabir Public School, Chandigarh. I am proud to be the student of one of the best schools of Chandigarh. Usually, kids go to preparatory schools, before seeking admission in Pre-Nursery, but I was lucky to have learnt that part with my parents, at home. Almost all parents, around us, had lost their sleep and peace, to ensure their kids get admission in the best school. There was a mad rush for filling up admission forms, almost at schools. In fact, most parents got their children `grilled & baked’ at different training outfits, to prepare for the selection system, which is called interview of kids and parents or whatever. I think, schools have to device some method to see which kid to admit, so school gets best students. I have been very lucky that I was under no pressure from my parents and I enjoyed my childhood like a free bird and a butterfly. I did what I liked… sleep, scream, jump, eat, throw tantrums, play with softy toys, see my mother (Dr Rajbir Kaur Sharma) handling snakes, while my father (Capt Suresh Sharma) photographed them, etc.

My anxious mother, at the gate of my school to recieve me on the first day...

When people around us, came to know that I got admission in St Kabir, everyone was in awe and asked my mother, with their mouths wide open, “How come Chirag got admission in St Kabir, he did not even go to any preparatory school for training”. My sweet mother replied with smile “Probably that is the reason he got admission”. How wonderful of my parents! I wish all parents could plan and act that way. Its was not at all difficult to get admission in one of the top most schools of the Tri-City Chandigarh. My suggestion to all is – be your `original-self’ and be a good human being – happiness in any field will be yours.

I am proud of my family and my school, St Kabir Public School, a very well managed school by passionate team of highly motivated professionals. I love going to my school.
