Wish life had a rewind button....would love to go back to my schooldays!!!!
It seems like just yesterday....and its almost 7 years since I passed out from school!!! Memories are still fresh, lingering in my mind.
Get up early in the morning, finish all my morning rituals and sit in front of the TV. Switch on cartoon network and start watching all of them one by one!!! 10:00 am - TopCat, 10:30 - Richie Rich.....(loved this cartoon just for all the wealth Richie Rich possessed). Then a break for half n hour....get ready for school....and then again start watching Scooby Doo at 11:30!!! (This one cartoon really made me fall in love with mysteries....and till date I look for a mystery in every possible thing!!!) Then at 11:45 am rush down to catch the school bus....and once the bus comes...you get to hear all the children screaming at top of their voices....."4 no. bus khattaara bus".(khattara means useless, bad, broken etc and 4 no. bus was another bus from our school only which also went on the same route.) All students in neatly pressed uniforms, polished shoes, ponytails or plaits for girls, ID cards pinned to their uniforms, schoolbags and water-bottles!!! Showing off their new cartoon bottles, bags, 'pencil box' and 'tiffin box' used to be a favorite with the students!!!
Once in school, rush down to the assembly for the prayer song. And then checking done by the school captain to see if your hair is neatly tied, uniforms are of the prefect length and neatly pressed, socks are worn properly, shoes are polished, and nails are cut and NO NAIL POLISH!!!
Go back to class before the period bell rings. All student hurriedly finish their homework and the teacher walks in, and students sing "Good Moooorrrrrnnniiiiiinnnngggg Teeaaacchhheeerrrrrr"!!! Teacher starts checking the homework, and those who didn't finish them become 'Outstanding students'.
Things changed a lot when I was promoted to the secondary section. I still remember the tears I shed because I would have to leave my old friends (classes were shuffled when we all were into secondary). Physical training classes became more of gossiping hours for us. All of a sudden girls realized that they are Girls and started behaving like one too! Crushes, fights, backbiting all became a daily scene!!!
Those sports day preparations, annual day preparations - cant forget being dressed like a Bengali woman, Assamese lady, practicing songs (was a part of the choir) - would just feel proud of being on stage!
Those days we felt as if a lot of burden was put on our weak shoulders, didn't like people calling us kids, we wanted to grow up, explore the outside world,....but today after 7 years I realize what burden actually is! Sometimes I really feel like running away from clutches of this big, bad world and escape into the innocence of school days.
Can I live it once more? Can I go back in time?
