The fascinating shapes in white emerging from a jet black board in a corner classroom in an old-fashioned school is a memory that many may associate with. However true the rest of the statements are in each context is totally a different issue; but Blackboards are one thing that sure binds everything! The huge blackboard pinned on the wall for carrying all those equations, words, art and formulae still remain etched in our memory although the actual lessons have been forgotten. The yearly repainting, those minor cracks, the occasional green board, the new fancy dusters that one bought- the blackboard story is one that is remembered beyond the walls of school.
