MY SCHOOL LIFE - A SUMMARY

Good bye TNA - 1995

The month of March had us all sitting for the ISC exams, the last exams we were to give in TNA. Straight after the exams, we headed off for the Prefects' Tour to Rajasthan - Jaipur, Chittorgarh, Pushkar, Ajmer, Udaipur and Delhi. It was a lovely tour and we had a great time. Siddhartha joined us in Delhi.

The last day I ever wore the TNA uniform, I wore it without my batch-mates. As the outgoing School Captain, I was required to hand over the Green and Yellow TNA School Flag to the new School Captain, Leona Sonam Lepcha.

Delhi, May 24 '95: ISC results out. It was another momentous day of my life. I had topped ISC with a new TNA record of 91.75%.

Even as I was leaving, TNA gave me yet another honour, the highest it could give. I won the Founder's Medal for the Best All-round student. Yishey got the Sabitri Gajmer trophy for the best girl, Tempo won the Governor's medal for the Best Boy and Siddhartha won a special prize for his contribution to music in TNA.

An important chapter (having lasted thirteen years) of my life was over, another one was soon to begin....in a place I hadn't imagined, far away from Sikkim, away from India.
