I think the school days are the most memorable days that we have in our childhood... The days we miss the most... When I look back to my school days which I spent mostly in Tinsukia (Assam) and Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) I always miss those days.. It always makes me think....
Gone are the days.....
...When the school reopened after summer, and we settled in our new places in the ...new classroom.
...When we look for the best desks and benches in the class which is nearer to the ...exit door.
...When we queued up in book depot, and got our new books and notebooks with ...Ashwariya's picture on the cover.
...When we wanted no Mondays and every Saturday holiday not just 2nd, yet ...managed to be in the line daily for the morning assembly.
...When we learnt writing on slates, with pencils, progressed to fountain pens and ...ball pens.
...When we began drawing with crayons, colour pencils and moved on to sketch ...pens.
...When we started calculating first with our fingers, then tables and then with ...Clarke's tables and advanced to calculators, scientific calculators and computers.
...When we chased one another in the corridors in intervals, and returned to the ...classrooms drenched in sweat, yet wanted a longer reccess.
...When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors, playgrounds, under the trees.
...When we awaited P.T. period more eagerly than the monsoons.
...When we played cricket with long-books as bats, and socks rolled into balls.
...When we simply played "book cricket" in the history period..
...When we fought but had no conspiracies, competed but had seldom jealousy.
...When we listened to live cricket commentary in the last bench.
...When we rushed as soon as the bell rang to "Conquer" window seats in the school ...bus.
...When we had one-month long preparations for sports day, and the annual school ...day.
...When we spent almost the whole year of Xth an XIIth writing revision tests.
...When we studied just to pass.
With so much fun in them, so many friends, so much experience , all this and more... I still feel that... gone are the days, but not the memories, which will be Lingering in our hearts forever.
I think most of you have the same opinion..
er the sweetest being your 1st. Even though with time we became busy with our lives and may not be spending a lot of time together, I know we will be there for each other in the time of need... I am very grateful to have a brother like you.
