whilst at my KG (kinder garden ) and lower KG level
my primary school was made of one big kachha (mud ) room partitioned by a kacha wall , one side was a relatively smaller space where teachers used to sit for their rest. I have seen only two teachers at my time.
The classes were generally in front of this room in a lawn which was beautified by big shade trees. I remember it was Neem, Dalbergia accompanied by small bushy herbs. I used to carry a small gunny bag to make it a platform for sitting on the ground as grass was not there. Teacher was having a wooden chair and there was no black board.
I was not sure how he managed food as only a hand pump was there . We used to go to drink water with the permission of the monitor. I never carried any eatables with me nor any of the students did so.
one fine morning the teacher asked us to go back to homes.
whilst coming back I noticed my Dad accompanied by too many peoples of all ages were quickly making a round wall in the visible range of the village surrounding its all Kachha houses as there was no pakka house at that time.
At late evening Mom told me to go to the roof top. I did not know why a shift of the routine has come.
I remember Dad used to send a man to fetch fodder in a boat for his cattle.
I recall those days as I often accompanied that person.
