I too studied from this school being a part of that settlement. I was really scared of Madam NS Lakshmi because of her seriousness and I miss Sir Tripathi and tailoring Sir Got……n of course Madam Banu because of her innocence. I also miss Genla Putu Gonkhel.
Also miss all my classmate and school mate too for having all the wonderful n childish life that I have with Hero cycle.
