Gone are the days

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 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 towatch 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! While 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 enjoyed holidays after them! Gone are the days Of 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!

Gone are the days When we usedto talk for hours with our friends! Now we don't have time to say a 'Hi' !
Gone are the days When we played games on the road! Now we Code on the road with laptop! Gone are the days When we saw stars Shining at Night! Now we see stars when our code doesn't Work!
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! Now we study to save our job!
Gone are the days 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!!
Gone are the days Where we shouted on the road! Now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days Where we got lectures from all! Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....!!
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 .....
Gone are the Days…. But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!

NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE , DONT FORGET TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL EXISTS

Alfred Hitchcock Presents  Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors ever. The way his stories were weaved in a day-to-day life of the people - read a person bed-ridden and just watching out of window to see what going on in his neighborhood in critically acclaimed "Rear Window" or a dedicated son to his mother in "Psycho". Alfred Hitchcock Presents is an American Television anthology series. Each episode was around 25-26 mins long (Seasons 1-7) and 49-50 mins (Seasons 8-10). I watched the entire series on Netflix in USA. IMDb rates the series as 8.6. It begins with a silhouette of the master director and an eerie music playing in the background. It is well-known for its opening sequence. Such was the impact of the series that the episodes were recreated in the 1980's. My Rating - 9 and a thumbs up :)

Changing her shoes every now and then... and finally painting those lips with my lipcolors.(It all started with kajal)... Every job has a 2 day off in a week, but since june 2009, there is no off for me.. each day a challenge.. each day a new teaching.. n penning these few lines on the mothers day see the role reversal of sorts..
