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.
Gone are the days
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
Gone are the days
We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then
Micro tips.
Gone are the days
We began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Colour pencils and finally sketch pens.
Gone are the days
We started calculating first with tables and then with
Clarke's tables and advanced to calculators and
computers.
Gone are the days
When we chased one another in the corridors in
Intervals, and returned to the classrooms
Drenched in sweat.
Gone are the days
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.
Gone are the days
When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays.
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 cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls.
Gone are the days
When few played "kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket" in the
Confines of classroom.
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,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks.
Gone are the days
When few rushed at 3:45 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus.
Gone are the days
While few others had "Big Fun",
"gulfi ice", " ice creams!" and "pepsi !" 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.
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
when we used to 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 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 dont shout even at home
Gone are the days
where we got lectures from all.
Now we give lectures to all...
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 .....
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE , DONT FORGET TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL EXISTS. IT WILL NOT BE THERE FOR EVER.
Hope you had a pinch of your golden/olden memories....LIKE WHAT I HAD:) :)

Anu,
Nostalgia, is it??????
Do not worry, read this..............
Quote:
Most of us spend a greater part of our lives worrying about things not
going right. Right? But did just worrying about a situation ever changes anything?
Did it make a child come home sooner?
Or a test score higher?
Did it put money in your pocket?
Or a ring on someone's finger?
Make a car run smoother?
Or did it help get a better job?
No! All it did was waste a lot of time.
So what should we do instead of worrying? There's this little story I read
which I found quite revealing:
There was an old man who operated a rowboat for ferrying passengers between
an island and the mainland. One day a passenger noticed that he had painted
on one oar the word Work, and on the other oar the word Faith. Curiosity
led him to ask the meaning of this.
The old man replied, "I will show you." Dropping one oar, he rowed only
with the oar named Work. Of course, the boat just went around in circles.
Then he switched oars, picking up Faith and dropping Works. And the little
rowboat went around in circles again-this time in the opposite direction.
After this demonstration, the old man picked up both oars Faith and Work,
and rowing with both oars together swiftly coursed over the water.
He looked at the passenger and said, "You see, that is the way it is in
life as well as in rowing a boat. You got to keep both oars in the water,
otherwise, you'll just go in circles..!"
And that's how worry comes about, when we go round in circles. We worry
like crazy and then visit every temple, mosque and church about some
problem, praying that God will do something, and going back home, hope for
a miracle. Worry is simply when we use one oar in the water.
We worry about a problem and start working from morning to nightfall on it,
yet can't come up with a solution. We burn the midnight oil, we go without
food or keep unhealthy timings with our sleep and finally find we are
nowhere near reaching the answer and then we start worrying why things are
not happening.
Work and Faith go together my friend.
There's no point praying for a miracle in your exams if you haven't studied
hard enough. If you have then pray God will give you the peace and calm
during the exams to recollect everything; and He will.
Or asking for a promotion or a new job if you are lazy.
It won't happen, and you'll just go round in circles.
So stop worrying, put both your oars into the river of life and start
rowing. You'll find unbelievable miracles happening..!
