It was a glorious day for the school, festoons hung from every corner, the whole place was lit up, cobwebs that seemed as old as the spiders that built them were dusted down, the scraggly security guard seemed shaven for once, the bus drivers were seen washing down the buses assiduously, 1st standard teachers [...]
