No. But got a warning. When I was in my senior secondary level me and my classmates (whole class) took two mini vans and went for picnic without the knowledge of my parents and teachers. But the very next day we were caught and parents were called for. Though it was a terrific moment for all of us on that particular day, later it became the best memorable moment in our lifetime.

The golden moments, I spent with my friends. It was a time we get to meet them daily. I would be once again happy if I get to meet my high school teachers.
