Reunionsare such a intimidating thing, a thick sheet of enigmatic Nostalgia all over you, while you pretentiously go to Flashback Remembering those golden days!
Talking to good-old School/College buddies, throws you back into your childhood with a retro-push and makes you remember those fun-days when you used to -
"Sneak out of the Boring Social-science classses!", -- and later get punished, quite obvious actually!!
"Jump over the school walls to go to the Nearby Cinema Hall!", -- We never got to the Hall though, wonder why?... Oh, right we started playing Cricket instead! :-)
"Look at those Sweaty old pants, we used to tear apart while diving for a important catch in a friendly cricket match with the other section! and then, tip-toed into our rooms and change into new clothes without letting Mum know the pant would never be able to breathe fresh air again!", -- But, it was worth it!
"Try to ride the bicycle for the first time", -- and falling (of course)!!
"Feel proud, pouting aimlessly while flashing my Cup, after winning the badminton singles match in the school tournament!",-- Oh yumm, I got to eat Home-Made Pudding after that :-)
"Get scared of the upcoming Elocution contest, because of stage-fright, 'I've never been on stage before!'", -- and then when confronted of how intelligent, bright and daring of a student you are, you finally end up doing it anyways!
"Spend all the savings of the month, in buying chacha Chaudhary and Sabu, and if some were left a few Super-commando dhruv and Nagaraj and blah that was an enormous list!" --I probably still have a lot of them still at home :D
"Early morning Cycle Races, with 4 friends competing and 4 watching out of the gate to see if the security guard of our school building woke up!", -- and guess wat he always used to wake up at "Get -Set -Go".. and chase us all through the playground!
Golden Days, Platinum Memories!
Running through the Mail, getting an unexpected Hi from an old School friend,
a look at my old Sketchbook, made me go back to our first re-Union,
made me remember and I remembered..
Vaguely...
I remembered....
Compelled me to pen it down, And so I did!
It Were the Best Years of My Life!
