One of the friends shared how revisiting their school reminded them of both their 'fulfilled and unfulfilled' dreams.
Get ready, this video will make you smile ear to ear. A group of five women returned to their school campus after four decades. Yes, after 40 years! The clip, now going viral on Instagram, came with a title 'Back to School." One of the women in the group documented their reunion on campus and reflected on the emotions of stepping back into a place 'filled with memories".
She even shared how it reminded them of both their 'fulfilled and unfulfilled" dreams.
In the video, the five women, now 56 years old, are seen walking through the familiar school corridors, stepping into classrooms where they once spent the most precious moments. Dressed in sarees, the women were seen cherishing the time, laughing and chatting as if time had stood still. Their visit to the school evokes a sense of innocence, youth and shared history that deeply resonates with viewers.
'We went back to school after 40 years. Walking down those corridors, sitting in those same classrooms, giggling… look at us, who would say we are a bunch of 56-year-olds? Look at the playground—so many dreams were seen here, so many dreams fulfilled," said the woman.
A text overlay in the reel read: 'Five 56-year-old women went back to school after 40 years to relive their school days." The school featured in the clip is Carmel Convent High School, MAMC, Durgapur, as revealed by the signboard shown at the beginning.
Since being posted, the video has touched the hearts of over 4 lakh viewers, particularly resonating with alumni of the school.
Many former students have flooded the comments section. An alumn wrote, 'MAMC Carmel 1987 batch… can easily relate… It's an amazing feeling being a Carmelite."
Another added, 'What a beautiful surprise this has been! As we always used to say, once a Carmelite, forever a Carmelite."
A person from the 2008 batch said, 'This reel is connecting Carmelites across the globe! It's incredible how the algorithm brought me here. What a wholesome reel, ma'am."
A social media user wrote, 'All are at different parts of the world now, yet all united by the same childhood – Carmel."
If nothing else, this heartfelt video will take you down memory lane and remind you of your own school days.
