Eight years back, while rummaging thru mom’s kitchen, I had found my lunch box from kindergarten class! (one and only lunch box I ever had). This time, while going thru all my parents stuff, found my school box from kindergarten too! Again, the only school box I ever had!

Two revelations… my parents, coming from the financial background they came from, apparently threw NOTHING out!!

Second, man, the sum total of my knowledge could be held in a fairly small, aluminum box!! That is disconcerting.

I think I am going to take these to the USA as a memory of how my parents kickstarted my education process. That is where the school journey of a once-shy kindergartener began…
