Today morning just after my work out as I went to the outer balcony of our flat, I met Yash; our neighbour, a smart child of 7-8 years (probably) who was leaving for school. And I started joking with him to not go to school today. And his reply was "No, I want to go to school as I will get the chance to play with my friends" and we laughed and he left. That was nostalgic. I mean that reply of his left me amazed about life.I became very emotional about my past, my childhood days, my school days... I mean how simple it was then. And the freaking truth is that those times will never come back. The wee hours of the morning especially during winters getting out of blankets seemed so tough and our secret wish that everyday was a Sunday always used to knock our tiny brains. The reason behind this was we did not want to go to school.
As we grew up and managed to get promoted to higher classes, we started waiting for the day we will be leaving school for good and get rid of those homework's, projects; that most of the times did not give even a bit of interest, classwork's, teachers scolding us every now and then, mom's poking and what not... Hardly we could wait to grow up and the sooner possible leave the school for ever and enter the next exciting phase of life (as it seemed then). And today when we are out of those hard times;(at least that's what we used to think then), I mean the school days, we cry every now and then wishing we could go back to school days, wishing we could go back to our childhood and live it again. We get emotional when we start talking about our school friends (with whom we have lost contacts), our favourite teachers, the recess time, sharing tiffin, gossip etc., and we miss each and every moment like hell today...How so easily we used to take those simple and easy things for granted for which; even if we beg today, no one is going to grant them back. How badly I wish, not only I, I guess most of us in their heart of hearts wish the same too. Just like the song depicted in the movie 3 Idiots (2009):
Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna grow once up again...

ReplyDeletethanks kunal
ReplyDeleteIndeed, those days are the best and we lost it forever. I wish there was a time machine, then we could have traveled back there again and relish it. But these are wishful thinking. Your piece over here made me nostalgic and rightly so. Enjoyed it.
