Treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories.

Gone are the days!!!

When the school reopened in June,
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 slates and pencils, 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 sheds!

When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the 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 Neckties and socks rolled into balls!
When few played "Cricket" and "Football" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket" in the classroom!

Of fights but no conspiracies,

Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!

When we used to watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!

Gone are the days

Of

Sports Day,

Annual Day ,

School Day

waiting for the leave and

one month preparations for that.

Gone are the days

Of the stressful

Quarterly,

Half Yearly

Annual Exams,

And the most enjoyed holidays after them!

Tenth and twelfth standards, when
We Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!

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!

When we used to talk for hours with our friends!

When we played games on the road!

When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!

Where we studied just to pass!

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!!

Where we shouted on the road! Now we don't shout even at home

Where we got lectures from all!

Now we give lectures to all...

like the one I'm doing now....!!

But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and ever ............
