Students back on their way to school…

11 January 2010 16 Comments

While the students of Standard 1 (primary) and Form 1 (secondary) students joined their new schools/colleges respectively on last Friday, the holidays finally came to an end today for most of the pre-primary, primary, secondary and tertiary students.

I am sure loads of them must have been pretty excited to go back “sur les bancs” after more than 1 month of holidays during which a large number of them kept repeating “mone plein lakaaz“.

The fact that students are no more in holidays might mean a completely different thing to different group of persons, let’s see how ;

It’s all about traffic…

traffic stats

No school = No traffic jams on roads = More traffic on facebook

And its true the other way round too.

I was surprised to see the calmness that prevailed on my facebook news feed today. There was definitely less (or none) stupid quizzes, facebook status messages, group invitations among others and… and… and better internet connectivity/speed !

But the worst things happen in real life…

A few to quote :

  • Loads of traffic jams,
  • Endless time waiting for buses,
  • Less seats (or none) available, more noise (and music playing), swearings in buses and bus stations!
  • Many issues about student bus pass, school transfers etc!!!

Oh… how I miss those days, especially university days!

Bon courage to everyone!

    I am the only one maybe who wanted to remain at home. I want to watch more films. I hate school
    However, you are right about:
    less (or none) stupid quizzes, facebook status messages, group invitations among others and… and… and better internet connectivity/speed !

    Strangely enough 2 days after school resumption, no unusual traffic jams in the morning and afternoon. In fact i was wondering whether school has really resumed….

  • Avishna said:

    dans ki coin clive rester????

  • Yashvin (author) said:

    @Clive : I agree with @Avishna. I found that weird too, weird that you did not get any unusual traffic jams. But everything depends which route/regions we are talking about.

    In your case, you are lucky!

    I hate 24/7. We need to work during the day and sleep at night. Thats god’s wish.
    Instead, roads needs to be improved, not work at night instead
