A memoir of my old school days
I remember my old school days
The days in which lies
Some sweet n sour memories
Of when we did our teachers' mimicries
Days when we missed the class
To go out and lie on the grass
In the park and just gossip
And gaze at grazing cattle n sheep
The days when we sat on the floor
With dust-ants-insects all in store
I recall the days when we used to brawl
Roll on the earth and then crawl
And in tiffin break, the leisurely time we got
We played cricket and just forgot
About all those damned things
About our teachers' abusings and beatings
And after school when we ran home
Like cage-birds set free to roam
And how anxiously we waited day-by-day
Counting how far our summer vacations lay
And when they came at last
How we fled home and ran to the vast
Mango orchard, in the blazing hot noon
And lo! there is a mango-heap so soon!
How we dived into our village pool
And swam and swam till we got cool
And when the vacs came to an end
How it pained to say bye to such a friend!
But back at school everything was colorful
Again, and back were the happy 'puchka'ful
evenings, along with 'dahibara' and 'chat'
Names that made my mouth watery and flat
Those were young, innocent days
And I wonder how fast time flies
I'll certainly grow up, yet
I just wouldn't let
These memories to fly past
and be forgot.
