Rajhans Vidyalaya, Affiliated with Central Board of Secondary Education, India

I was pretty much an average student during school - although I had a few moments of glory (famously getting full marks in the class when no one else did - twice, voted the best dressed boy during the farewell party - fun times!). Didn't care much for organized sports or theatrics either, just liked running around!
