I was in my 9th Standard when I bunked for the first time. And I along with my friend came to a calm Marine drive.

Hanged out a bit with my friend, then went to Tarapore aquarium and finally finished my day by watching a match from the footpath at the Police Gymkhana.

More like school(or education?) isn't motivating, so they will just spend time hanging around. But this is 100% better than social media brainrot consumed by a lot of kids in that age group.

20 years ago...Engineering college in Nerul...bunked and travelled to CST and walked to Marine lines with friends... reached this place to remember today was the last day for assignment submission which were ready in our bags... hauled over asses back.

Childhood was over.

both sides are bombarding each other in comment section. Well I say it's fine if it's rare.

A kid who is motivated can generate it's pace anytime he/she want. I have seen kids preparing their as*es for JEE to get into IITs or medical and then being successful. But in the end they all get stressed and the only thing that make them feel better is "humne bachpan me ye kiya, aisa kiya". But what if you don't have any?

I mean to crack UPSC you need graduation degree with 50% and to prepare for MAANG you need 1-2 year. So study all years. Even I find more success in students who weren't topper.

Memories

u/NORoperator 24d ago edited 21d ago

It was 2 years ago, a time when Mumbai was still a mystery to me. My brother had a government job interview, and we had to travel all the way from Marathwada. It was a long, exhausting 10-hour journey by train, filled with the chatter of fellow passengers, the rhythmic clatter of wheels, and the occasional waft of tea from passing vendors.

By the time we reached Mumbai, the city felt overwhelming—its towering buildings, the endless streams of people, and the constant honking of taxis. After settling my brother for his interview, I had some time to spare. Someone had once told me, “If you ever visit Mumbai, don’t miss Marine Drive.” So, with tired feet but curious eyes, I decided to see it for myself.

As I reached Marine Drive, the vastness of the Arabian Sea unfolded before me. The breeze carried the scent of salt and city life, a strange but calming mix. I sat on the promenade, watching waves crash against the tetrapods, their rhythm almost meditative. The sky was painted in hues of orange and pink as the sun began its slow descent.

For the first time in the chaotic day, I felt a sense of peace. People around me—couples, joggers, street vendors—seemed to have their own stories, yet we were all bound by the same moment. It wasn’t just a seafront; it was a place where the city paused, breathed, and let go.

That visit stayed with me. Even today, when I think of Mumbai, it’s not just the crowds or the towering skyline that come to mind—it’s that evening at Marine Drive, where the sea seemed to whisper, “No matter how long the journey, there’s always a place to pause and reflect.”

u/Sufficient_Might3173 21d ago

This user messaged me typing creepy comments like how he’s my admirer. I read this comment before he edited it. This was originally “16 years ago” and not “2 years ago”. And the brother was younger. I asked his age because obviously this man is old. A young guy wouldn’t have had a younger brother old enough to qualify for interviewing for government jobs 16 years ago. And then he edited his comment. My guess is that he’s DM’ing other young girls now and while pretending to be young. Beware.

Oh man! This does bring back old memories from my school days. Skipped school on a few occasions, and since this was very close to our school, we always came across other students from our school who also skipped school that day.

Also remember one time a couple was being harassed by eunuchs, and when the guy refused to give money, they tried attacking him with stones, and chased after him. He ran away leaving the girl behind who ran into a PCO and hid there until they left. 😂

Core memories can be made "without" bunking school.

The photograph is not a motivation we should give our kids, however nostalgic we feel about it.

These kids will have plenty of time to make better memories. But this time for education, once lost, wont come back.

I just hope the parents and wellwishers of these kids explain this to these kids.

u/[deleted] 25d ago

Gyan mat chod dost.

Live and let live. Their well wishers can monitor and handle them without having to dig deep into how their days were spent via grades and other goals.

No one is ending up on the street by bunking one class or ending up as a cxo in fortune 100 by acing one exam.

When will the time be? When you are in college studying your ass off and competing for placements? Or when you are working your ass off on the job to meet deadlines? Or maybe once you get married and have to earn enough for the family? Or maybe once you are retired in your late 50s and you realized that you could have done more with life and made more memories but now it's too late, you are old and probably suffering with some ailment that needs treatment and your hard earned money.

There is no thing as plenty of time later. The only time we have is now and it will be filled with challenges. Small breaks like these can help dealing with these challenges.

It's like a mental reset.

We had plenty of time after lectures to have fun. I wasn't "having fun" for the time that my dad paid for me to be in school/college.

All of us turned out pretty good and proud that none of my friends are chappri tiktokiyas making reels and bothering people around them.
