    Just take couple of minutes to read this...take a RIDE for your everloving skool days ... believe me ...its awesome...!!


    Gone are the days!!! My Friend... I remember all Now, after reading Below, hope u too......




    When The school reopened in January,And we settled in our new desks and benches!

    Whenwe 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 food in classrooms, corridors,Playgroun ds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds!

    When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table, Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!
    While few others had "Big Fun", "peppermint","Jumboo", " milk ice !" and "shar bat !" at Interval!
    Gone are the days

    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 1:45 to "Conquer" window seats in our School bus!

    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
    @ School

    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 THAT STILL EXISTS...
