School Days!!!



"...playing hide and seek, hiding just behind those trees... the very ground were I use to do mass drill in my white half pants early morning in chilling winters... there I was exactly there, playing cricket with my exam pads and ball made of stone, handkerchief tied with rubber band... the flag hosting pole... celebrated 10 years completion of school, 15 years ago, on the very ground... the class room, the benches... 6th A, 8th A, 10th A... my class rooms... the lobby... hahah... I use to make this lobby worth-a-walk by standing outside for not doing homework... the very classroom where I had my first ever crush... she was my maths teacher 7th standard... where biology classes were very interesting and history always brought lot of sleep... forgetting notebooks because homework was not done, every month new homework notebook without finishing the previous one... remarks in dairy for not bringing roti-sabji in tiffin, standing on bench for unpolished shoes...fighting with friends every minute...promising to be there for lifetime... speaking in English was considered as showoff... where 5:30pm bell to go home was most awaited thing... Cycling so fast to beat all the two wheelers and even four wheelers..."


This holi, when I went to my hometown, I visited my school. Reached there an hour before the day was to start...visited all the classes and the lobby with my best and school friend...was there after almost 10 years... sat on the bench of class 6th section 'A'...middle row, second bench, corner seat...close to girl's seat on the next row... the blackboard...the tiffin basket holder...everything same... Prayer started at 11 o'clock and then 15th Adyaya of Geeta and the national anthem...


Teachers were the same, I must say most of them... met after 10 years but never realized...chatted long and short...saw one of the exam papers bundle lying on the table...reminded me of the "total" we use to do of all the exam papers again and again, hoping the .5 mark will make a difference, writing everyone's marks at the back of the "rough copy"...tracking the topper... hoping to score high in next exam... promising dad... but never studying... after all there was always more than studies in life...


School days are the best days of anyone's life. You are ignorant. You are a kid. You are unaware. You are childish. Your heart is pure. Your character is gold. You don't have any responsibility...except for passing the exams... every other thing was taken care by parents... BEST DAYS!!!
