Whenever it rains, esp. heavily and in the morning (a rarity in Bangalore) , I get reminded of school and our Principal. Most of used to cycle to school (pleasure of a small place) and depending on where you lived an average of 20-30 min (my guess now !). Latecomers would line up at the side and if lucky would join the line unnoticed when we used to troop to the classrooms. Or let off with scolding at times.
But I remember clearly a few times when it would rain things would be different. One may have though a simple excuse of rain caused us get late would be acceptable. A few times when I saw the principal who would come out to serve out the punishment. His argument (still etched in my mind) was imaging the army reaching somewhere with an excuse of rain. Not acceptable !
Simple message and maybe an impressionable age. But somehow that remain etched in my mind. Come what may : honor time !!!!!!!!
