Gone are the days........but not the memories
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, loved the smell use to come from new books and note books.

Gone are the days
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers,though in sleepy mood.

Gone are the days
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
And returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat and of course with the sweat smell yak!!

Gone are the days
When we had lunch in classrooms during the class - hiding from the teacher, corridors,
Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.

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 smile use to come on face after bunking English Class,use to wait only for the tang tang of the bell.

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 during the final exams,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks.


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
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
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and Ever.
I hope all went back to Golden Olden days..........

 For a while..........as  I  DID  !!
