Gone are the days
when the school reopened in June,
and we settled in our new desks and benches.
Gone are the days
when we queued up in book depot,
and got our new books and notes.
Gone are the days
when we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
Gone are the days
we learnt writing with slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips.
Gone are the days
We began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Co lour pencils and finally sketch pens.
Gone are the days
we started calculating first with tables and then with
Clarke's tables and advanced to calculators and computers.
Gone are the days
when we chased one another in the corridors in
Intervals, and returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat.
Gone are the days
when we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.
Gone are the days
when all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays.
Gone are the days
when a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons.
Gone are the days
when cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
and Neckties and socks rolled into balls.
Gone are the days
when few played "kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
while others simply played "book cricket" in the Confines of classroom.
Gone are the days
of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy.
Gone are the days
when we used to watch Live Cricket telecast,
in the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks.
Gone are the days
when few rushed at 4:45pm to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus.
Gone are the days Of Sports Day,
and the annual School Day,
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.
Gone are the days
of tenth and twelfth standards, when we
spent almost the whole year writing revision tests.
Gone are the days
we learnt, we enjoyed, we played, we won, we lost,
we laughed, we cried, we fought, we thought.
Gone are the days
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 road.
Now we work on the road with laptop.
Gone are the days when we saw stars shining at night.
Now we see stars when our effort 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 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
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and Ever.....
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE,
DONT FORGET TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL EXISTS.
IT WONT BE THERE FOR EVER.
