Good Ol'School days

Reading the blog of my friend made me wonder about good ol' school days. As I kept reading, the images of school described by her came flashing before my eyes. I had no intentions of writing,but this was something I just could not hold back on...It just seems like yesterday that I said a teary goodbye to the rest.I cannot but remember the numerous cultural practices organized, the outings, the common mass we used to attend, the elections, common lunch, farewell...The list is almost endless..We even called ourselves “begum” and did a whole victory lap around school like the Tamil movie Batcha..If someone tells me they did something like that now,I maybe would brand them as silly and immature..

Clad in white and blue uniforms, with neatly plaited hair and clean white ribbons and shinning white shoes we attended school with utmost pride and sincerity. Bending of rules was unheard of and coming to think of it now, I wonder if we would still be the same! One wrong doing would make us squirm and I think to us the school and its motto were literally our "bible" which we dare not disobey... Reminiscing about the past makes me nostalgic. Even now when I meet the others we have so much to catch up on. Its like we start where we had left off..

We all have matured into fine young women, married, to be married soon, with kids and still there's that small part of us which craves for those innocent days. Eyes sparkle when we talk about escapades during good ol’ school days..Do I seem like an old lady now?7 years seem long to me.. When we bid adieu and promised to stay in touch I thought its going to be tough to face the world minus the secure walls of school teachers and most importantly school friends. It was not so bad after all..When we meet now things have changed and we have all moved on...but the basic values have remained...We still laugh about those times and we never seem to get tired telling others about it...That’s how much an impression the good ol school days have left...I just imagined us going back to school with the 8’o clock assembly and honestly the thought makes me flash my brightest smile….:-)
