This article is a snap into my first schooling days, those innocent treads into a world of learning with much unwillingness. Every person might have faced similar experiences in their life.

I just crossed 3 years of age then. One morning, my mother dressed me neatly and asked me to go along with my Dad. Usually my Dad takes every evening out along with him and buys me sweet. I thought my Dad is taking me to buy sweets again. But it was something unusual as it was morning. Generally, my Dad leaves for work early but he was at home that day. I thought that day was like Sunday when he does not have to go for work. I was happy to accompany my Dad and walked with him holding his hand. After passing through some lanes and walking for some distance, my Dad stopped in front of a big Gate. I did not ask my Dad where we are as I know he will not take me to dangerous and strange places and I had no fear then as my Dad was with me. I know my Dad will take care of me. Yet my Dad also did not care to tell me where we are going. He opened the Gate and there was a big ground . We walked thru the ground. We could hear some voices of children. Atlast we reached a room , where one of my Dad’s friend, whom I was told I should call him as uncle, received us. It was strange thou, because there are lots of friends of my Dad and I was told to call everybody as uncle. It is used to be sometimes very difficult for me if some uncle visits our house, I used to tell my parents that uncle has come, they used to ask me which uncle, I just always had one answer ‘uncle’.

I knew this uncle as he used to visit me Dad sometimes. They talked for a while, I was occupied with looking into lots of things in his room. There was a chart hung to a wall. I was very curious what it was. Why is he hanging that on the wall. Neither it is a picture of anybody nor it is some scenery. Generally in our house, there were some pictures and sceneries hung on the wall. Out of my curiosity I asked my Dad, what that chart is. I was not sure if my Dad knows that, but I was shy enough to ask uncle what it was. Then uncle interfered and told me it is the map of the World. I asked him what is World. Then he told me lots of things which was difficult enough for me to understand. But only thing I understood that it is the picture of the land on which we live from one end to the other. I was happy that it is also some kind of scenery thou it looked weird. I did not understand why uncle had a crazy scenery on his wall.
