Every moment of it

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 learn 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,


u
nder the trees and even in cycle sheds!


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 Neckties and socks rolled into balls!



When



few played

'kabadi' and 'Kho-Kho' in scorching
sun,

While others simply played

'book cricket' in the

Confines of 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!


When



few rushed at 3:45 to


'Conquer' window seats in our School
bus!


Whil
e

few others had 'Big Fun', 'peppermint'
,

'kulfi', ' milk ice !' and 'sharbat !' at 4o Clock!


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


e
njoyed holidays after them!



Gone are the days




Of tenth and twelfth standards, when

We Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!



We learned,

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 saw stars
 Shining
at Night!


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!



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 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 We ARE ,


DONT FORGET TO


LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL


EXISTS..........and we Live every Moment of it.
