Shruthi...

Friends,
Today let me start with my experiences of pre Navodayan as well as Navodayan days.......

It was 5th std when a sir Mr.Iragar announced of the Coaching classes for admission in JNV. Don't know why I was very much excited about Navodaya and wanted to join the school....
I almost fought with my dad and joined the coaching classes....

With me were my Harihar friends...

• Sujith, my neighbour
• Smitha, my classmate
• Pradeep, my classmate
• Anil, my classmate
• Vinayaka and Pavan , whom i met in the coaching class itself....

Even in these classes we enjoyed a lot, we were kids then and the masti we used to do was unimaginable....

Get up soon in the morning, run for almost one and a half k.m. to the classes...covering this distance in 9 minutes, was a great thing then.....

Then came the navodaya entrance exams...obviously then the results...I was really happy that i and also some of my good friends had got selected for Navodaya... but then came the deciding time- whether to go or not to go....

My parents didn't want to send me to a residential school...But i was determined to join JNV at any cost...and it was not easy to change my decision also and they had to agree to send me to JNV...

Then came the Verifiction day...hope you all remember that....

All of us, i mean Harihar students had come...That day i met a girl whom i had not known before...Actually her and my parents were knowing each other before itself...And that was SWATHI.C.V....Now i was knowing one more Navodayan... Verification was over, I was very happy to see the campus and was very glad of my decision to join the school....

Lots more to say in coming days...
