Poem
gone r the days
when the school reopened in june
& v settled in our new desks & benches.

gone r the days
when v queued up in book depot
& got our new books & notes.

gone r the days
when v wanted 2 sundays & no mondays yet
managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.

gone r the days
v learnt writing with slates & pencils 
& progressed to fountain pens & ball pens & then to micro tips.

gone r the days
v began drawing with crayons & evolved to color pencils 
& finally sketch & tube colors.

gone r the days
we started calculating first with tables 
& then advanced to calculators & to computers.

gone r the days
when v chased one another in the corridors in intervals
& returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat.

gone r the days
when v had lunch in classrooms, corridors, playgrounds, 
under the trees & even in cycle sheds.

gone r the days
when all the colors in the world
decorated the campus on the second saturdays.

gone r the days
when a single PT period in the week's time-table
was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons.

gone r the days
when cricket was played with writing pads as bats 
& neckties & socks rolled into balls.

gone r the days
when few played "kabadi" & "kho-kho" in scorching sun
while others simply played "book cricket" in the confines of the classroom.

gone r the days
of fights but no conspiracies
of competitions but seldom jealousy.

gone r the days
when v used to watch live cricket telecasts
in the opposite house in intervals & lunch breaks.

gone r the days
when few rushed early to 
"conquer" window seats in the bus.

gone r the days
while few had tiffin, others had "kulfi ice-cream", 
"vada pav" & "pepsi" in lunch hours.

gone r the days
of sports day & the annual school day
& the one-month long preparations for them.

gone r the days
of tenth standard when v spent almost 
the whole year writing revision tests.

gone r the days
v learnt,v enjoyed,v played,v won,v lost
v laughed,v cried,v fought,v thought.
