THE MISSING LIFE... OUR SCHOOL DAYS...!!!
When The school reopened in July,
And we settled in our new desks and benches!
When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books and notes!
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays,
yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
We learnt writing with pencils and erasers,
and Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!
When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Color pencils and finally sketch pens!
When we started calculating first with tables and then with
Clarke's tables and advanced to Calculators and computers!
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
and returned to the classrooms Drenched in sweat!
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors, Playgrounds,
under the trees and even in cycle stand !
When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!
When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Aluminum foil rolled into balls!
When few played "football" and "leg cricket" in scorching sun,
While others simply played
"book cricket and Bollywood" in the Confines of classroom!
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!
When few rushed at 1:15 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus!
Gone are the days
Of Annual Sports Day and the Annual function ,
And the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
And the most enjoyed holidays after them!
We learnt,We enjoyed,We played,We won,
We lost,We laughed,We cried,We fought,We thought.
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more!
Gone are the days
when we used to talk for hours with our friends!
Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'!
Gone are the days
when we played games on the playground !
Now we Code on the road with laptop!
Gone are the days
when we saw stars Shining at Night!
Now we see stars when our code doesn't Work!
Gone are the days
when we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms.....!
Gone are the days
where we studied just to pass!
Now we study to save our job!
Gone are the days
Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!
Gone are the days
Where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days
Where we got lectures from all!
Now we give lectures to all... ( like the one I'm doing now......!!! )
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts forever and ever and
Ever and ever and ever..
Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE ,
DON'T FORGET TO
LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL EXISTS..
*****Bundoo se bana hua choota sa samundar, Paani se bheegi choti si basti,
Chalo dhoond le baarish me Bachpan ki yadoon ko, Haath me lekar kaagaz ki
kashti. !!*****
