itz rainin.................

For the past few days it has been rainin heavily in Calicut......actually i'm not tryin to say anythin about the rains in the past few days.........infact i'm tryin to collate my feelings when i see it rains......about the past.......when i was a schoolboy..........studyin in primary school at Sacred Heart English Medium School Changanacherry.............

In those days we went to school by an auto.......the driver will come in the morning.......sounds his horn.....then we all will run toward the auto.........i in the front.......my mother with my tiffin and bag in the back.......then enterin the auto.....................one teacher will be there in the auto to collect us..........then the bumpy ride through the potholed roads.........made worse by traffic jams................rains lashin outside..........me without any raincoat or umbrella............after collectin everyone reachin the school............sometimes late........then the final dash to the class through the rains............sometimes forgettin to take the tiffin, waterbottle etc..........from the auto..........then enterin the class with water drippin from my clothes..........starin by the teacher and the whole class..........then settlin at my alotted bench........teacher taking attendance and startin the class........correctin yesterdays homework.......sometimes complete......sometimes incomplete.......then the scolding and 'stick work' for non obedience.............students cryin..........then the days class..........everyone lookin outside and enjoyin the beauty of the rains........then the bell rings...........teacher goes out............next teacher comes in...........the same process repeats itself till the first break..........then the mornin break bell rings..........students as if let out from captivity will rush outside like water released from a dam........still raining heavily outside.........so nobody can go out and play.........wait in the verandah watchin it raining........then the break end bell rings..........back to class..........and the cycle repeats itself for the whole day.........then the final bell rings...........students will rush out of the classroom..........sometimes forgettin their belongings...........then they will run helter skelter.......all in the rains outside.............someone will rush towards the schoolbus to reach there first..........and book the front seat.........others will run for their autos............someone will slip and fall and become muddy.........everythin happenin at the same time.............i'll reach for my auto.........to book a seat...........my compatriots also tryin the same.............then the ride back home.....through the same potholed roads made worser by torrential rains..........then reachin my stop...........and the ultimate dash back to my home.............

I'm nostalgic about those days when i type this post..........some of the best days of my life.......passing infont of my eyes as in a movie theatre..........i really long to be back in those days.....to enjoy those days once more..........but i know i can't........bcoz there is no goin back in life.......every second will come only once in life...........make maximum out of it...........everythin is momentary in our life...........now i despise the saying "Time and tide will wait for none......"

These are the only things that we can carry forward in our life...........some good old memories............memories to cherish...........memories that make u sad.........that make u happy.............that make u repent.............thank god that u've bestowed me with so much such fruitful memories which i can cherish for my life..............
