Ice Cream

icecream

'Ice cream'.What comes to your mind from this word? Isn't it something related to fun? Well,thinking of ice-cream reminds me of a sweet and delicious joy. Ice-cream has added many funfilled days to my childhood. I'm going to share some of them with you.

In the hot scorching days of May and June,I love to have ice cream outside my school gate.A smile comes to my face seeing the ice cream chart hanging with pictures of yummy ice creams.I can't help licking every bit of the ice cream I have.

I have often enjoyed having Ice cream from Spencers.My mouth starts watering when I think of the chocolate cones with coffee beans scattered on them.Here I like to have ice-creams with my family because I believe that at times togetherness make ice-cream taste better.

Ice creams have many times filled up the refrigerator with their special,milky smell during my birthdays.I remember,once I got very angry on my mom as she gave away all the chocolate ice-creams including my share to the guests mistakenly. I quarreled foolishly with my mom that evening just for an ice cream.So you can probably imagine how much importance I give to an ice cream .

Many of my memorable days are also related with ice creams.The last day of class six,my friend gave us an ice cream treat.When we were all feeling sad for each other,ice cream made us forget our sorrow and enjoy the day till our heart's content.

Ice creams have always made my days special ans worth remembering.

Spectrum: the array of colors in my life

Spectrum 2010

They say good times don't last long.It is one of such good times I'm going to write about.It is an eight months practice for a grand event called Spectrum which was to be held in Netaji Indoor Stadium.It started from the summer of '09.You can't probably imagine a good time in summer ,under the hot sun.But this was truly a pleasant time.
There was very less pressure in studies .Everyday we used to board the our school bus at around 11:30 and return to school at around 3pm.Though the journey from our school to the practice ground was not very long,we used to enjoy every bit of it.We used to crack jokes and sing out loud .But    the worst part was  practicing under the scorching sun.At times we were also taken to an air conditioned hall. During the days practice,we used to feel impatient for recess when we would all sip packs of Frooti .We were also provided with delicious snacks like cakes ,sandwiched and cookies.Practices were really fun.Run throughs were held during the last two weeks where we had to perform in front of Ma'am Khaitan.To we students ,she was a very formidable person..The final week of practice was held in Netaji Indoor Stadium.These days were the best during the practice and  we were given lip smacking meals like pizzas,chowmien and such other tantalizing dishes.We used to share our meals and watch the performances of other groups.When our turn would come and we had to peroform Khukri dance(a traditional dance from Nepal,performed with daggers),we used to hurry to the back stage and get ready.
During the last four days of practice,we had to attend school at 5:30 in the morning and return home at 11:30 or may be 12 at night.The 25th of January-the final day of Spectrum was very exciting because the great television personality, Amitabh Bachchan would come to watch our performance.But at the same time it was also very nostalgic for us, because the eight months of practice had come to an end and we knew that we would miss everything of these special days immensely.We had become like the members of an extended family.We made new friends and also experienced the joy of sharing and caring.Our costume looked really funny with a green kurta ,a black coat,and a black paijama with orange garlands and a ear ring in one ear and a "karra" in one hand.People on the roads used to stare at us with mouths wide open. At the backstage,on the final day of practice,we took signatures of our dance teachers and embraced them with love.We were very nervous during the performance.Our performance came out to be one of the best of Spectrum 2010.We were all so surprised at the news.We never thought that  the audience would enjoy our performance that much .After all success comes after hard work!
The beautiful journey of spectrum 2010 will be there with me throughout my life as one of the most memorable time of my schooldays.

Funtime at Cafe Coffee Day

Can you think of a great fun Tuesday? I am sure you can't, its not Sunday after all. But we did have loads of them.. How? Hey, our school is in a "Happy Holiday" mode.... and we too.......... So we friends gathered at CCD and had a peppy fizzy evening with my sis.






We started off with "Devils own".. a mouthwatering combo of rich coffee, chocolate and vanilla cream. Hot choco-brownie complemented the drink just too well.. Our talks bounced from school to great music albums and  films. But of all, we enjoyed the topic of ghosts and paranormal stuff. 
We hummed together to the tunes of 'Love story' of Taylor Swift and 'Party in the USA' of Miley. It was great fun.
My friend Anwesha was eager to know about planchet and exorcism. Suchandra told stories about twilight and eclipse (She just loves these beats).
My sis told us about some movies like 'White noise' and 'Exorcist'. It was all so scary and creepy. We were getting goosebumps all over. Oh dear it was such a spooky night. All of a sudden there was a strong gust of wind blowing away dust and dry leaves on the road. We huddled up in fear. Suchandra was really scared the most (She will want to kill me for disclosing this!!!!! lolz) 
I loved all the chats and talks and the togetherness.. and I am looking forward to another day together.. :) :)
