Ashok, that was a beautifully written story. I love the details you add including the bully, the whole egg penalty for losing the race, and - of course - the terrible rains and their consequence. I remember both my kindergarten crush and my third grade crush. Interestingly, my third grade 'girl friend' and I both became teachers and reconnected twenty years after we'd both moved on.
