BEST MOMENTS IN MY LIFE - SWEET MEMORIES OF MY LIFE

The sun is rising slowly

The snow on the leaves is melting like a candle

The birds are also waking from a long nap

Their feathers are wet

And their chirp is so cheerful

Suddenly a shadow is swallowing me

The shadow of my old days which am remembering like a very old but so delicate and sweet memory or time in my life

The memory of my childhood days

I was sure that the cool breeze that blew had made my mind cast shadow on me which was slowly engulfing me

I suddenly felt that am sitting in my old class 5 classroom, peering out of the window on the basket ball court

Suddenly my Hindi teacher, Annie mam enters the classroom

Soon the class is settled down and we are reciting the prayer which we always used to recite in our Hindi class

It usually gave me a good feeling

Then after the prayer when mam says only I remember that it is the last day for me in this classroom

Along with my dear classmates and friends

After this day we were going to have our annual exams and after that we all will be separated and will be entering that new phase of life, the secondary school life, leaving out innocence behind for ever in this class room

I suddenly wish we were never going to secondary school and continue climbing the ladder of life

And then the saddest news reached me that day after getting back home. The news that I was going to leave this school forever

I don’t know how I accepted that fact.

The fact of leaving the place which I loved so much,

 Which had given me the joy of life

Which had thought me the basics of ones life

I wonder how I wrote the annual paper the next day

My mind was in another world

Roaming through the dark passages

Of that world

The world of sad and happy thoughts

The paper was over soon

And days seemed to travel like a rocket

Soon it was the last day of my annual

I remember even today, how we celebrated after the last annual paper

I was and am sure that there will be no more such days in my life

The days of real happiness, the days of enjoyment, the days of innocence, the days of mischiefs

Minutes after  a cool breeze blew and I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment.
