The new girl in the school

Hi friends this is a new saga where I and Kyra battle with the authorities for our basic rights in the land of the rising sun, Arunachal pradesh. The principal was exasperated and the management out of funds this time. We students of class 9 wanted an outing and the school was supposed to provide the means of transport but no, not this time. We walked out in fury, it was a hard time living as a student and not going out when the wild rivers beckoned you was a feat considered impossible by our standards.

After that I couldn't get much of it because my father was posted in the remote state of northeast, the land of the rising sun Arunachal Pradesh. Though this was the place of heavenly beauty, connectivity and electricity remained a major issue throughout my life there. Later I did get to use internet on pc but it was quite limited. Only when I completed 10th did I get a full fledged internet experience and that too on a mobile. It was the era of 2G Auctions and airtel had captured the seven sisters. Boy it was fun.
