It is said going back to one’s roots is like looking in the mirror- you see a version of yourself that others have seen. Xiaomi India’s Manu Kumar Jain recently took a look in that mirror when he visited his old school in Meerut, UP. Documenting the trip to his alma mater were photos, nearly 15 of them, from Kumar’s classrooms, canteen and school ground.
“I did my entire schooling from DMA (Dayawati Modi Academy) – from Nursery to class 12th. It was an amazing experience to go back to this wonderful institution after almost 20 years,” he wrote in a Twitter post.
And it wasn’t just the brick and mortar that pulled Kumar into nostalgia, but also his teachers and heartwarmingly, his school bus driver.
“Met Principal Mrs Ritu Dewan, our Hindi teacher Mrs Amita Tyagi, chemistry teacher Dr Lal and the entire staff. Even got a chance to hug our bus driver (Sharma Ji), who drove me to school for 14 long years,” Jain added.
