Nostalgia.......

I am back with a lovely piece of nostalgia.....did my schooling in Baldwin Boys' High School n passed out in 1998....those were truely the best days of my life ! ! .....(this line sounds familiar....reminds me of a nice number by Bryan Adams) .....Life has changed, certainly for the good....but I now understand the value of those gone away days ! ! ...
Was browsing, when I got this piece.......Im sure u'll enjoy this....as I did. All of us have memories of our school days to cherish ......

Here it goes...

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,
yetManaged to line up daily for the morning prayers.

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 a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited moreeagerly than the monsoons.

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 5:30 to"Conquer" window seats in our School bus.

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
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
But not the memories,
which will beLingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and Ever.....
