Dried with Nostalgic

 This may be dried flowers, but it actually holds nostalgic memories of my heavenly school days. We had an Athapoo competition for the Onam. We celebrated Onam and Teacher's Day on the same day. The morning session was allocated for the teacher's day and the afternoon session for the Onam celebration. In the midst of the busy academic schedule, that was one of the days where we felt so free. My classmates brought flowers, and the class was split into groups for proper time management. We were nearly five who were allocated for drawing the pookalam. There were actually worms in the flowers, and some of my classmates even ran when they saw or touched any worms.

In the evening, I just grabbed three marigold flowers from the athapooo just for a memory, and still they're on my study table. My mom thought that it was some waste flowers that accidentally fell into my bag, and yeah, she threw them in the dustbin. I fought with her, took them back from the dustbin, and secured them safely on my study table.
