A young friend Chinmay has posted this on his facebook page and I am amazed that things have not changed since my school days! And those were over half a century ago!
I went to a ‘boys only’ school but even there, we had dreamy eyed boys in love with some girl from another school. Since it was a school in Tamil Nadu, almost all these boys were more or less sure to get married to their cousins and so the star gazing! Other than that little variation, we had all the other varieties.
I’m so glad I’m not in school anymore! I love being retired and being able to learn what I choose. 🙂
So am I. But it is still a lot of fun enjoying what young people share and care about.
I don’t think those avatars are limited to school

What, you thought they’d somehow outgrow it and become different people? How sad would that be? 🙂

On the contrary, I am glad that what was true then is true now too!
No, but the lad who posted it is still in one!
It applies to every mixed bag of people, doesn’t it?

Yes, it does.
Doesn’t even seem to be affected by different cultures, much, does it?

No, we humans are the same everywhere despite efforts being made by bigots to convince us otherwise.
I see more similarities than differences. I enjoy cultural differences when it comes to art, food, dance, music, ways of seeing the world – but not so much when it leads to hostility and conflict between people. The bigots do seem to have a great interest in keeping us all divided. It’s no wonder most of them are wary of the Internet.

Things weren’t much different in Andhra Pradesh, a bit west of you, where I attended primary school. Or in Pakistan, for that matter, where I came of age later on. Most boys in my All Boys school were in dreamy eyed over freshly-out-of-Inter teachers who taught the younger grades. 🙂

I went to school in Hyderabad for a short while and I know what it was like there too! No different!
I missed all that fun, I went to an all girls convent school! Yeuk!

I knew some girls who went to convent schools run by Irish nuns here Grannymar. Padmini for one. They will have different stories to tell I am sure.

Tammy, you threw a curveball at me. Two comments on two different posts under one comment caught me unawares!
