There Was A Time When A CRUSH Meant The
World To You….
LOVE Was Something For Which
You Could Die For….
Passing An Exam Was All
That Mattered….
Playing In Games Hour,Banters In Snacks Time,
Rushing For TV Hour Right After Dinner,
Flouting Rules,Skipping Morning Assembly,Fooling Teachers,
Bursting Time Bomb (Crackers) With The Help Of Agarbatti ,
Pelting Stones At Teachers Quarter,
Post Breakfast Nap Bunking Classes,Surreptitiously Watching Movies Late Night &
Gossiping With Friends Esp On Topics
Related To Ghost On Weekends,A Much-Awaited
Movie On Sundays,
An Occasional Holiday,A Rainy Morning (Relief From PT),
Creation Of Zoo Like Ambience Once Light Gone
& Pin Drop Silence Just Before Generator Lights Are On,
Shouting From Hostel Even On The Day Of Exams As Crucial As 12th Finals
That Too While School Bus Would Go To Collect Question Paper From Local PS,
Sleeping On Terrace To Dodge Creepy House Master’s Early Morning Whistle Sounds,
Defying Hostel & School Authorities,
Inter-House Public Dhulai ( Public Bashing After Covering With A Blanket),
Getting Gatepass,Mud Bath In Holi & Bathing In Nearby River After That,Incessant Fun
During Sports Meets & Inter-House Competitions,
Jumping Boundary Walls,Climbing Water Tank &
Writing Apologies When Caught Etc Was The
Ultimate Entertainment….
Having A Small FM Radio,CD Player,Walkman Or A FM Enabled Phone Was
Absolutely Lavish( Keeping Electronic Devices,Gadgets Were Strictly Prohibited)….
Our Mischief,Notoreity Was Such That School Authorities Had To Come Up
With Idea Of Asking Compulsory Undertaking Affidavit From Everyone Who Wanted To
Continue After 10th Standard….
They Called It Going With The Wind….Fun,Enjoyment Was At Its Peak….
LIFE Seemed So Beautiful….
This Was The Golden Period Of Life So I
Call….
But Are These Permanent?
Will The Crush Remain Forever?
Will The Love Be Lifelong?
Well,I Guess Not
(There May Be Some Exceptions Though)….
Slowly You Will See People Change….Someone
Whom You Were Thinking Of As FRIENDs,Turns
Out To Be A Backstabber….
CRUSH ???
It Becomes Like “Come On…Whatever”
LOVE ???
Does That Even Last??? Someone For Whom You
Could Die For,A Few Years Back,Now Dont Even
Look Back At You…
So What Was All That Shit
Few Years Back??? (Though There May Be A
Lucky Few,Who Manage To Make It Lifelong)…
And EXAMS?
You Will Just Laugh At Yourself,
Even Thinking About The Mental Pressure
You Went Through To Pass Those Exams…
Slowly & Gradually,Those Things Will Make You
Realize That You Are Much Wiser & Much More
Matured Now Than What You Were Back Then…
So Does That Mean You Should Not Have Done
All That ???
No,I Dont Think So….
You LIVE Only Once….
And
Its Called Living ONLY When You Go Through All
These Experiences….
Without Mistakes How Were
You Supposed To Learn Either???
That Golden Period Becomes GOLDEN Only
Because Of These Resonant
MEMORIES….
These Memories Are For
Lifetime,Be It Good Or Bad….
You Can Look Back,
Treasure,Get Nostalgic & Smile One Day
With A Sense Of Great Self-Satisfaction Saying
“Yes I Have
Gone Through All Those“
