I mIsS mY ScHoOL

Blue & White checks shirt with Navy blue shorts….

A small little bag and a bottle of water….

With moist eyes and a lot of reluctance….

I stepped in…

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


25 similar kids, in the same dress, I saw…..

The moist dried out and I ran around with them….

Kindergarten was so much fun….

I loved it….

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


The shirt turned white with flaps on shoulders…

Bags grew heavier with monstrous text books….

Yet primary was equally amazing….

I enjoyed it….

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


Came class 4….

And came conduct charts…..

Red coloured golden stars overpowered by the black ones….

Black listed I was…..

But I enjoyed that too….

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


Came class 5…..

And we were a part of gangs….

Hijacking the last row, proud backbenchers we were….

It was so much fun….

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


Came class 7…..

And football fever sunk in…

From a mid game argument to a crunching tackle…

I loved it all…..

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


Came class 8….

And shorts turned full pants…..

Seniors we were and still blacklisted….

Things had become monotonously enjoyable…

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


Came class 9….

And emotions sprang up…..

It was time to woo and a lot of link ups….

Victimized I was, but enjoyed the attention……

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


Came class 10….

And came a lot of things along…

Projects and prefinals and the thoughts of farewell….

The dread of Boards wasn’t left far behind….

Darn…..I miss my school….!!!


Ever so many pranks we’ve played….

Ever so many excursions we’ve enjoyed….

Ever so many silly games we’ve played in class….

Ever so many lunch hours we’ve laughed our hearts out….

Indeed a great experience it was….

Darn……I miss my school….!!!

The Present Situation Pains Me....

Why is favouritism favoured....
Can't there be competition to the true sense....
By this, Isn't our intellect insulted....
Hampering the credibility of any judge....
The Present Situation Pains Me....

Why has winning become so important....
At the cost of eliminating competition....
& stagnating the very meaning of it....
Can't there be a fair deal....
The Present Situation Pains Me....

Why has satisfaction been Undermined....
With the greed of Victory ever so luring....
To where has our self realization disappeared....
Leaving a negative impact....
The Present Situation Pains Me....

Why has competitive spirit been blown off....
where has the spirit of participation gone....
Why has success been wrongly redefined as victory "only" ....
Where are the true competitors....
The Present Situation Pains Me....
