13 June

This is one date which when I was small, used to dread, and now I miss. This was the date when schools usually used to start after summer vacation. Mine was a morning school, and usually, school opening was also accompanied with rains. With a new bag, new books, new raincoat, we used to go to school, find our new class, new class teacher, were alloted roll numbers, timetables, hhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa, the memories.

I miss the smell of damp table in my school, then we used to have bulbs instead of tubelights. The dark atmosphere outside, the rush to close the windows of the class to prevent the rain water from coming in, the slow moving fans…..

The exchange of vacation notes with friends, who had been where, whos relatives had come from where, meeting friends after more than a month. Ofcourse, now our kids have mobile numbers of their friends, who they can contact easily, but those times were different and fun.

Wish I could really go back in time, go back to school, relive those memories……
