There is lot to tell about Sainik School Goalpara. Today I am going to share my first adventure in SSG.We were promoted to class 8 and were shifted to Anirudha house. Fortunately or unfortunately our house master changed from P K jena to H k Jha (I know wat u guys must be thinking...his C**walk...hehehe). Although we did lot of stuff back then in Abhimanyu & Bhaskar house; this was going to be diffrent.
A bunch of us decided to go to "Surya pahar mela" (for those who don't know about it....surya pahar mela is organised every year near surya pahar). Surya pahar mela was like a unofficial roadies task for us. The rules were simple....visit the mela atleast once.
For seniors - don't get caught by school authority...
and for poor juniors like us - dont get busted by seniors and ofcourse authority.
So few of us decided to go for the mission. Since it was a mission in another territory we did all the risk management and mission briefing. We ensured that noone else knew about it. We all went with our normal daily activities that day. Studied in the prep time,went for dinner came back, participated in post dinner gossips (adda), then came the lights off whistle!
we all went to our bed and then after somtime i hear someone, "shhhh...its time...!!!". I got into a dark dress and went behind room no 1. (yes near the fence). One by one all ninjas arrived...all fully dressed in black. Some in track suits, some injacket...even with that "bandor topi" (Monkey caps). The dress was supposed to help us make invisible in the dark night. Somone asked how are we goin to move in the dark dat too through the obstacle ground and those bushes...??chandan saikia took out a small torch with weak battery - so that it didnt glow much. Since we were trained in camouflage and concealment, we did all we knew to be invisible.
2300 hrs - we started our mission by taking a vow - if somone gets caught noone will tell anyone's name. Suddenly I felt somone coming and I could feel the adreline rush in me. But it turned out to be just a shadow...someone was peeing in front of the room no 1 corridor.
"uff close call!"
Anyways we moved on. The tricky part was crossing the obstacle ground as it was open and anyone from senior house could see us. We croosed it and finally reached the main road. Now we decided not to move through the main road as someone might notice us and mistake us as thieves. So we moved along the trees and bushes parallel to the road. The road was never ending and surya pahar was not coming. After 1 hr or so we finally reached the mela. We all hurrayed and went to all the possible shops and ate like we were hungry from ages.(althoug only few shops wer open, at that time of the night). We watched half of a movie, which was screend there. It was fun watching in that cold open air. We returnd late....so it was easy to get inside. We were very happy and excited as we pioneerd it..
we all went for an hour's sleep as it was PT time again. Next day we told some guys about it and we became like the coolest guys and evryone wanted to go now. We asked them not to go now as it might be dangerous as we heard few seniors were caught the day we went. Next day few of our friends went and became martyrs as there was a headcount that night.
anyways that was my 1st adventure in ssg...(1st polai juwa )and yea i m sayin as my 1st adventure cos our dear H K Jha used to find all these 'adventure'...hehehe!! after that i was caught once for bunking school....wil tell u about it later...!! till den chao...!!!

I was taken back to my SSg days, reading your story. All adventures and misadventures was a precarious balance between preparation and luck. And no matter how much preparation one makes, one could never ensure safety. And thats where luck always found its role...And thats where the thrill came from :) Thanks for the wonderful story
