00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.131
- I had to spoil my recess,
stop hanging out with the boys,

00:00:04.131 --> 00:00:07.631
and go meet her in the recess
time because Mom said so.

00:00:07.631 --> 00:00:11.841
(jazzy upbeat music)

00:00:11.841 --> 00:00:14.878
- My dad dropped me and I saw these girls.

00:00:14.878 --> 00:00:17.778
It was a girls' boarding school,
so I saw all of these girls

00:00:17.778 --> 00:00:21.218
weeping and crying, and
my dad expected me to cry,

00:00:21.218 --> 00:00:22.438
and I said, "Okay, now bye."

00:00:22.438 --> 00:00:23.938
- The moment your parents leave

00:00:23.938 --> 00:00:27.158
that's when you realize, "Oh
*@#!, people are crying here."

00:00:27.158 --> 00:00:29.158
- First it was a bit difficult
because boys were a bit

00:00:29.158 --> 00:00:32.398
confused if they should sit next to me.

00:00:32.398 --> 00:00:34.438
- It was new and exciting
and you were away from home,

00:00:34.438 --> 00:00:36.398
but then the homesickness kicks in.

00:00:36.398 --> 00:00:39.198
- A teacher asked in the
class, very embarrassingly,

00:00:39.198 --> 00:00:40.718
which she shouldn't have done saying,

00:00:40.718 --> 00:00:42.118
"Who will be friends with Aditi?"

00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:46.052
- Anytime somebody got her
period, it was a celebration.

00:00:46.052 --> 00:00:47.552
So the principal would come to her

00:00:47.552 --> 00:00:49.872
personally and congratulate her.

00:00:49.872 --> 00:00:51.072
- There were several guys who would like

00:00:51.072 --> 00:00:52.492
ask me out and it was very weird.

00:00:52.492 --> 00:00:54.432
- We keep hearing random stories of women

00:00:54.432 --> 00:00:57.392
trying funny experiments,
"Hey that test tube from

00:00:57.392 --> 00:01:00.352
"the chemistry lab is
missing and you know why."

00:01:00.352 --> 00:01:03.152
- There was a lot of hiding in bushes,

00:01:03.152 --> 00:01:05.652
in the gym room, just everywhere.

00:01:05.652 --> 00:01:08.852
- We used to get these bowls
of jelly, it was shit food.

00:01:08.852 --> 00:01:11.872
So at the end we used to
trade with each other saying

00:01:11.872 --> 00:01:13.452
"You give me your bowl of jelly and I will

00:01:13.452 --> 00:01:16.092
eat your subji tomorrow afternoon."

00:01:16.092 --> 00:01:17.652
- We used to have a 'duck shop'.

00:01:17.652 --> 00:01:22.132
So like it was junk food and
chocolates and everything.

00:01:22.132 --> 00:01:24.952
- Rats was an undercover publication

00:01:24.952 --> 00:01:27.512
and there was an entire
satire written about teachers

00:01:27.512 --> 00:01:30.032
and how teachers fight
for positions within

00:01:30.032 --> 00:01:31.772
departments to become
heads of departments.

00:01:31.772 --> 00:01:34.612
Nobody knows until now
who actually published it.

00:01:34.612 --> 00:01:37.812
- Two friends of mine were doing it

00:01:37.812 --> 00:01:41.336
in the the gym on these mats and the boy

00:01:41.336 --> 00:01:44.506
jumped off and the girl tried to jump off

00:01:44.506 --> 00:01:45.886
but there was a trampoline there

00:01:45.886 --> 00:01:47.566
and she jumped off the trampoline

00:01:47.566 --> 00:01:48.926
and they thought they got away with it

00:01:48.926 --> 00:01:50.146
except she jumped on the trampoline

00:01:50.146 --> 00:01:52.486
so she came back up and the teacher saw.

00:01:53.296 --> 00:01:55.850
- I think it's just, friends don't change,

00:01:55.850 --> 00:01:57.690
their definitions in
your life don't change,

00:01:57.690 --> 00:01:58.990
you change as a person.

00:01:58.990 --> 00:02:01.090
- My boarding school girlfriends are still

00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:04.210
closer to me than, I
mean I have best friends

00:02:04.210 --> 00:02:06.770
here as well but it's not the same.

00:02:06.770 --> 00:02:08.910
- And it's like, you know,
they're like my sisters

00:02:08.910 --> 00:02:11.610
or my brothers, we were that
close, it was more like family.

00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:13.710
- I think we were under
the false belief that

00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:15.450
we would meet each other all again.

00:02:15.450 --> 00:02:17.450
We didn't realize the importance of

00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:18.910
goodbye and I think that was good.

00:02:18.910 --> 00:02:23.550
(jazzy upbeat music)
