The Bench ...
In School…
It used to be like a rough sheet to do some calculations …
Or wipe away the extra ink from the hand
Used even to whiten the Rubber (“eraser” as it is called) ….or sharpen the pencil led
Or just take a divider and draw circles just-for-fun
A tool used for Punishment – “Stand up on the bench” ;)
A dining table during lunch break …
A Pillow when u want to cry or are sad/angry …
A support to sleep …
And also used to read/write
In colleges ….
It would tell Love stories of the past and the present … “A loves R” carved inside a heart …or “raj on the tail of arrow pointing to Rani …arrow passing thru the heart” which would symbolically represents Raj Loves Rani…
Would also be the pointers to know the who belongs to which group of friends … or movie names …or dialogues …
That’s the source of gossips about who-likes-whom kinds …or who’s called the “chamcha”,”pakao”,”chaalu” etc etc
A canvas for the artists …. To draw all kinds of faces …flowers designs …
A meeting table when friends got to discuss or have a good chat …
A hide out from the lecturers …u can just bend on it and keep urself from getting noticed …
A bin where they stuck chewing gums under …
A study table to copy assignments , write practical journals … or prepare notes …
N now …
Its just a term used to not being officially into any work …
The word sort of brings a kind of “fear” in our minds as to “What Next”
Makes us feel Hope I never have to be on it …
The one with which we spent most of our time then … Is one of our worst nightmares??
