Diary of Meeting on 15 August 2014 - Batch of 92

Rendezvous with old friends on 15 August 2014 was quite exciting. I met , Sunil Saraogi , Chapparia & Ginoria, Prakash, Pawan, Anish, Ashok, Manish Choudhary, Didwania & Thakkar, Sanjay, Rahul, Jitender, Alok, Anand, Ajay, Sandeep, Dr. Sid, Vikash Modi and Khattry, etc etc etc. Thanks for Vikash Khattry to invite me as I was not on  Watsapp !!

We met just outside Bhikharam Kankurgachi and waited for more frenz. Our meeting was quite good and as usual typical Tantia type conversation were being listened from people. In nutshell , all are still same.

• Jain brought Roses for everybody. Thanks bhai... 
• Anish maintained his weight :) neither put on more  nor lost 
• Didwania &  Alok have maintained their charming face. They are still in their twenties
• Dr. Sid was not showing his clinical abilities during our meeting, he looked to be an Alumni of good old Tantia
• Jitender and Ashok - host of the party. Big heart they have and that's good !!
• 
  
• Manish Thakkar , the person whose appearance completely changed. 
• Anand was lost in his dark googles but looked smart
• Sanjay Jain appeared to be more civilised than his school days .....
• Manish Chaudhary ..... as expected .... did not change and perhaps never change. 
• Pawan doing PR.... he left after kachori meeting
• Samir Saraogi -- we need some more guys like him who bind everybody in a chain 
• Sunil Chapparia ... the guy does not speak like he appears to be on Whats app... looked good and still has boyish look. Congrats buddy
• Sunil Ginoria .......fantastic face... he did not recognise me ....also did not put on weight. I beat him in gaining weight 
• Sandeep Bhansali still holds the same smile on his face as it used to be during school days. His smile said he was very happy to meet all of us. 
• Rahul Sonthalia .... his neck was in bad shape.. I hope he is completely fine. 
• Ajay Chaudhary - hhhhhhh , he should leave his beard. Otherwise everything else was good. 
• Vikash -  came late .........Boss leave Pan Parag or Rajni Sajni Gandha ( Ganda ) , it kills your communication skill and interrupts in your speaking abilities ( that means, Public Chutia nahi banegi ). Now he is very matured and gained lots of experience , it appears :)
• Prakash -- I reminded him that we had a fight in school but he forgot me so how could he remember the fight. His face did not change much
• Manish Jalan - Still he has the same lambai and patli kamar !! 
• Vikash Modi - Looked good and Same

Boss not writing for others ......forgot names ..........hope after one or two meetings I shall update this page with the memories of 15 Aug 2014

Manish Didwania and others proposed to go to "NASHTA" in gully behind Bhikahram to have Kachori and Jalebi as it appeared to impossible to enjoy in closely confined Bhikharam. We were not able to abuse each other, cannot talk in our Tantia Style .... So decided to eat Kachori Sabzi and Jalebi in Nastha. The plan was good

Went to Nastha and others joined... Good hot club Kachories with Alu Ka Saag and Garma Garam Jalebis. Jitender , Ashok pl.ayed the role of host. We enjoyed round after round of Jalebi and Kachoris !! 

People were talking about the changed appearance of Manish Thakkar and  Youth of Anand Sancheti. We witnessed forgettable talks between Manish Didwania and Manish Chaudhry. 

Friends appeared to be more inclined on having liquor and they were talking about the evening liquor / cocktail party at Salt lake. 

Enter Khattry ...... he was given a fresh plate of Kachori and we all listened him

Nastha was blessed on that day !! 

Then we all went to have tea at Haryana Sweets near Phool Bagan. There every body on the road were staring at us as some of us came in old form. The voice of us was so loud that it was attracting the attention of people passing. 

People were talking about their common colleagues in previous and current jobs, sharing info about each other. Frenz enjoyed a small argument on Shuddh Hindi sentences between me and Manish. We all reminded Manish that he was once a head boy of Tantia High School. The only headboy who became headboy in the mid of the year after the forced expulsion of a bad working headboy. Manish was not happy to be reminded about those story..

We took some phtographs and departed........photos now on Facebook ....... 

Perhaps some more meetings like this........in near future..........

Something more on N.N.Mishra ...

Thanks to my brothers for liking my recollections of Tantia days......Lets share some more memories of our great Hindi Teacher . ............... N . N .Mishra ji

It was only N N Mishra who was hard to be utilised by I D Singh for multipurposes. Hence he was given some more additional responsibilities :

• He is the librarian of Tantia High School Library. We were supposed to get one Hindi Book per year to read and return. But were not issued any book from class eight to ten. However, one book I read " Edison ki kahani  in class V , that is still in my memories. After that I could not get any chance to read about the great scientist "Thomas Edison"
• He was the chief coordinator of Tulsi Jayanti , Premchand Jayanti --- i.e. functions in which there was no inter house competition. We used to prepare for songs at Tulsi Jayanti in his Library in the presence of K P Mishra and S D Dwivedi. However, I never saw him singing and to teach how to sing a particular line. Me, Pawan Bhatia, Kunj Bihari Bhatia, Dinesh Vyas ( Now an Acharya -- I appeal every brothers to take his services for Marriage , Namkaran Sanskar and other Mangalik Functions... he is a good acharya / Pandit) , Vijay Agarwal, Vineet Khaitan ( for lecture on Tulsidas ji ) and others. However, the practice were closely monitored by S K Mishra. Sometimes N N Mishra ji was called by I D Singh to update him on practice of Tusli Jayanti and sometimes we had to sing before him... you can imagine ........the pressure of singing before him in his chamber .......... 
• N N Mishra was also a permanent judge in functions of  Antakshari and Inter house Hindi debate. But he was always unbiased at the time of awarding marks during competition. The result of Antakshari and debates were audited by D N Jha and Y Singh and they always used to produce the report with marks just after the lecture of I D Singh after every functions. 
• N N Mishra had nothing to do with Annual school sports. On that day , he used to mingle with classics like J K Singh.
• It was impossible for us to understand the assembly speech of N N Mishra. I think it was hard to understand by a few teachers too. Impeccable hindi was always a challenge for us. Once I heard the word " DRISHITKONE" , after that the entire speech was a bouncer. It was impossible for S K Bhattacharya to understand anything from the speech from N N Mishra
• In our Annual School function we had one section - Hindi 's one act play i.e. EKANKI .. N N Mishra  was the chief supervisor of that One act play ( Natak ). How he used to handle that , its a life long curiosity for me.
• He was our Hindi Prose teacher in Class IX. First term examinations used to held like class test. He challenged us to write answers from Hindi Guide or taking the help of text books ....... he proposed us to take help.........we took help........but none of the boy could pass in that exam. He wrote one line from the first lesson " Meri Jiwan Gatha of Acharya Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi" .. the line was " Mai yadi kisi ka atyachar sahan kar loon , to isse meri sahansheelta ka bodh awasya hota hai , parantu isse mujhe doosron ke uper krodh karne ka adhikar prapt nahi ho jata " ... and he asked the first question from that line " Atyachar kis prakar ka Achar hai" ............. ab kya likhen ????

We realised after leaving the school that we lost a great opportunity to learn a better Hindi. When we were student we did not like some of his lectures, but after I personally felt sorry. 

will update more.............

pls dont consider english general mistakes..........without review I have written everything.

Smile of Shri N.N.Mishra :)

N N Mishra joined Tantia High School as a Hindi Teacher in the year 1986. I think since childhood he used to wear " Safed Dhoti and Yello Silk Kurta". I challenge nobody has seen him in trouser and shirt. He is from Benaras Hindu University and a student of Krishna Bihari Mishra , Hazari Prasad Dwivedi and Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla etc. In spite of good knowledge in Hindi , he could not get a better opportunity in Kolkata , however I D Singh did not lose an opportunity to hire a Masters from University of Allahabad. N N Mishra Ji is a symbol of Benaras , always a "paan" in his mouth with a steady face. Mr. N N Mishra is the symbol of an underpaid person who is well qualified person in Hindi.

I used to study in Barabazar library whose librarian was Ramchander ji. Every body calls him Ramchander (Ram Chander) , even he himself calls his name as Ramchander . But one day , I saw N N Mishra visited Barabazar Library just near to our school and asked a peon ...( just pay attention )  ......" RAMCHANDRA HAIN ???"  wow what a classical examination of "Vishudh" pronunciation of Hindi ..... once in a life time ,somebody called Ramchander as "Ram Chandra" i.e. correct sound. So N N Mishra is the person who cannot think to pronounce something wrong in Hindi even in his dreams.

N N Mishra possesses great rapport with one of our History teachers Sri S D Dwivedi and Sri P. Tripathi. All of three belonged to the same age group. But both Dwivedi and Tripathi ji wears shirt and trouser but N N Mishra always prefer to be seen in Dhoti and Peela Silk wala Kurta.

One thing was best, his small smile ......he never laughed but has a great smile. He was a great competitor of K P Mishra , the other Hindi teacher who used to wear trousers of seventies. Like Sachin Tendulkar ( on the cricket Pitch) , K P Mishra ji alwasy used to create gaps between his two legs by just lowering himself at least thirty times in an hour. Sometimes while sitting on the chair also... ......... how  ??? please dont ask.

His pronunciation and meaning of a poetry and prose are impeccable. I saw him advising students of B.A and M.A. also with the same confidence  like teaching a student of class X. He has written some essays which he has secured by him for his retirement days. I appeal our friends that if somebody can help him to fetch fair value on publishing his materials. The favourites of N N Mishra during 1986 to 1992 were  ( which I saw him from my childish eyes) Manish Didwania, Ajay Singhi, Rama Kant Holani, Vinod Singh Rathore, Pawan Bhatia etc. Manish is one of his all time favourites. N N Mishra ji got maximum respect during that period only hence he still remembers most of the students of that period. Please god ... keep him healthy and stay fit. I heard that he is retired now.

I used to meet him after passing class X , he was not happy with the students after 1994.

will write.....if I remember some more.

R.S.Rai - Tough man History teacher

Our one of the History teachers Mr. R.S.Rai ( Ram Sapath Rai) was on the toughest teachers of our school. He never shared with us a single moment of his life. He was never informal with any student and never asked tuitions !! He was a true and royal rai Saheb. He possessed good rapport with colleagues specially with H.R.Jha and D.N.Jha. But he was very cruel with students. His favourite weapon was " Duster" , once he started , it was impossible to stop him. Once he beat a boy , he could not sleep in the night. But it did not change him. In section B of class IX and X , he used to teach history. He used to bring an old history book and used to read fastly. Students named him " 80 word / minute". Once he fell down from his chair and a student laughed ( he was his relatives , though) but he was not merciful on him and he had to pay for his smile.
His way of delivering speech in the assembly hall was very unique. From his right hand , he holds the mike and never lefts till the completion of speech. From class V to X , we were fortunate to listen him atleast ten times , but he always used to pick one revolutionery patriot of pre independance India , whose description was not available in our text books. Always, he was very agressive while speaking ...... he starts with .....Pyaare bacchon , tumne Vinayak chapekar ka naam suna hoga, wo ek mahan krantikari thaa............................. log jel jaane lage, rail ki patriyaan ukhadi jaane lagin, videshi kapade jalaye jaane lage, sarkari daftaron me aag lagayi jaane lagi.......... were common in all of his speeches. We enjoyed a lot. Once , one of the teachers told to my freind, jab bhi ham log ko nasta karna hota hai, hum Rai sahab ko hi to khojte hain ,sabse pahle nastha karenge, paisa denge aur taxi pakdenge........
In class V he was our english Grammar teacher and taught only 50 % of his times, but syllabus was completed. His way of taking attendence was also unique.... he used to get excited while taking attendence .......one , twoooo, threeeeee, for,fiveee, six,sebun, at, nine , ten, elebun, tuwelve, thirty, forty, fifty,sixty,seventy,eighty,ninety, tuwenty, ...............and so on......with a lot of pressure in his voice. In class VI .. he was our history teacher, .. the best teacher to put signature .. he never saw the last page .... just put corrections and sign.......never read the copy ... not even in examinations.......... One of my class mate... Jitendra Jain ....wrote about Maharana Pratap in the question of Shivaji in Pre test examinations , he got maximum marks for that question and he shew us , as we could see our Pre Test copies.......... God bless our teachers...... one thing was clear , he loved school and he loved India.
