Michael Džindžichašvili would really like to have a small firm making luggage and bags. Before that, he is trying to map fascinating things and become a journalist, hopefully making some change. He also tries to achieve this goal through his lyrics and saxophone in the band Šťáva.

The goal of his article is to recreate his elementary school photo through the life stories of his classmates and to reflect on the past — where they are now and where they are going.

For once, we’re not only together in our memories

Following on from the piece on nostalgia for primary school, which appeared on the Perspectives website – in which I suggested organising a school reunion – here is a second report on how the reunion went and the impressions it left. The text is accompanied by an experimental audio report.

We wouldn't have recognized each other at all if we hadn't gone to school together

Until I was eighteen, I had spent essentially half my life with my elementary school classmates. We saw each other every day for nine straight years. Our parents didn’t know each other. If we hadn’t gone to the same school, we would still be strangers to each other.
