Dear Friends..

Gone are the days!!! My Friend...


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 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!


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 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 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 WITH ALL YOU LOVE

LIFE STILL EXISTS.....
 
Very Good.... maza aa gaya padh ke.... went down the memory lane as was reading.....again reminded of Jagjit singh's "wo kaagaz ki kashti, wo baarish ka paani"
 
Gud one....enjoyed reading it.....i was back to my school days :)

To be frank Rahul...this is too much you are asking for....firstly don´t forget you have posted ur mail at JL....rating the post is too far ....do not expect people to read till end...so better not to disappoint urself about replies....Its just about sharing ur views..nd forget it......nd you will be fortunate if you find like minded people...Kher take it easy....
You wrote well.....and that was your choice to post it here or not......let those who understand ...read and enjoy.....to reply or rate is their choice.....leave them with that.
Enjoy...
 
Nice one there Rahul!

Waise guzra hua waqt hamesha achha hee lagta hai...:) more so with childhood times...
 
its nice to read it again after 5 years... a circulated mail with remixed version... but i really enjoyed it reading again....

me too believe in... programing hai waste trust only copy-paste.
 
The days are still the same people and their way of living is changed.

Do whatever you want to do and involve others who are interested and you will see...let me know if that works..lol it will
 
nice , i guess i must have smiled 2-3 times while reading this ( specially that book cricket and table cricket ) !!

:)


@ RAvinder : bhai sab aapki tarah perfect googlers to hai nahi ! jo copy paste kar sakein ;) aur fir agar sabne coding band kar di to aap kahaan se copy paste karoge :D
 
programing hai waste trust only copy-paste.

That's not programming ...

Typical Indian mentality to have a Govt. job and nothing to do is nice ....... but to stand beyond others needs implementation and hard working .... Alas ..... copy paste never help in that :)
