In a rather unique reunion, the former students of a school decided to relive old memories by getting "beaten" by their principal again to get his "cane blessings". An X user named Krishna, shared a short clip from the students' renunion, wherein they can be seen gathered for their reunion while a man, who appears to be their principal, gives them "beating" one by one with a cane.
While some of them are police officers, others are doctors, advocates, businessmen, some are teachers and owners of schools themselves, the post's caption read.
The students were dressed in white shirts and pants, which looked like their way of replicating their school uniforms for old times sake. Some of them even carried school bags. They stood in a line in front of a flight of stairs and appeared one by one in front of their principal, who stood with a stick in his hand, wearing an all-white outfit himself.
As they get the "beating" the students can be heard bursting out into laughter, recalling their old school days. It was their way of attributing the success they achieved in their lives to their principal's "caning".
"Here's a strange reunion of old students of a school.! There are collectors, police officers, doctors, advocates, principals, teachers, businessmen and owners of schools ! All of them have a desire.... The Principal should beat them with his cane to help them recollect their great school life...... Why because.. they believe that they reached greater heights in their life as a result of the "cane blessing " they got at the hands of the Principal," Krishna captioned the short clip he shared on his X account.
