Back in those experiment days!

We all had workspaces/laboratories in schools, where we did our wholehearted experiments (call them beaker breaking incidents). There were ones for chemistry (with all those weird shaped glass vessels), physics (with all those callipers and meters), biology (dissections, eew!). Ah, so much some of us dreaded those days when the time table had them scheduled!

For some reason, today I remembered those days. I don't know whether it was a certain flash of visual, which brought back that memory, but it anyway flashed across. We didn't know how much of conviction and concentration we had back in those days, but the times spent in those halls were special.

Those days when we were all dressed in our disciplined lab coats, carrying those rough records and fair record books. It was always a pain, to maintain writing those records, but it was funny at the same time. We were all doing the same work, repeating it, to the fair record, and surprisingly, no one complained! Strange things that we all do as students.

I remember once as part of a cleanliness drive (or was it for the love of the teachers?, don't remember which one), couple of friends and I had once cleaned a whole Physics laboratory. The activity was fun, but the historic things which we discovered from that lab that day, was hysterical. In the nooks and corners of those labs, were certain age-old pieces of equipment, which we saw for the first time, and surprisingly, even the other staff and teachers in the lab didn't know that they existed!

But that day was all about some jovial time being spent with the teachers, because they were always there, supervising our work. Those tea breaks which we took together, and fun talks all along, will be remembered throughout a lifetime. I am saying about this because it's a certain special memory which comes flashing in my mind when I think about our school life.

In this season, where all the board exam results are also coming out, a message to all those children getting into the race (supposedly) right now, enjoy all the moments while you're there. You will remember them for long.

That's all for now. Cheers!

one heck of a trip..

its not everyday that u go for a trip. but the one which we went ws very exciting.. its not evryday tht u go to a 150 km trip unplanned and all of a sudden. so in that way it was special. we experienced everything in between. 8 of us. the trip wasnt wht it became at the beginning. at the start, the idea was just to hire a vehicle and roam around the city. but when we had hired the vehicle for a day, the thoughts began swirling. bright ideas came up of what to do with the vehicle in one day.. and amongst many options put forward, the Cherai Beach near Ernakulam was the one we fixed. Started in the night of that saturday. Lots of roaming abt the places and confusions in between regarding the routes. and besides that there was this shortage of fuel. a couple of times, we just reached the petrol pump, jus when the fuel was getting over. the whole night we were driving. at abt 2:30 am we went to our friends' house on the way. now tat was a surprise 2 his mom.. then at abt early morning ...

Darkness

As I sit within these walls Those thoughts, the mind recalls Craving for that cosy hand With that familiar blue band The shadows in the moonlight Search for the bright sunlight That once existed, for long Without any inhibitions, forlorn The breeze sings in midnight Though the clock waits for the light With the miles crossing by But the moon floats, as its own alibi The walks sing their ballads Out when they call, the nomads Those who belong to this world Yet, while they lie all curved Along the streets, they speak Of stories which call them a freak Smile along they do with might When others smirk at their sight Forget those who are bemoan Running behinds dreams flown Chasing peaks which are unreachable Carrying loads pretty unbearable A day shall come, long-drawn When the time will dawn Upon them with a light so bright Fight, they shall, with all their might.

visit to college.. after a while..

It was an opportunity to visit the college. I had to collect my certificates and was a chance to meet some friends also. Met couple of my colleagues, teachers and a whole bunch of juniors. It was a lovely trip. Had been in the town for two days. Was happy upon meeting old pals. But had no time, coz had to hurry to catch my train. So didn't get actually the TIME to spend at college. But it still it was a memorable one. Re-visiting your college after the completion of course, whatever be the timespan, feels nostalgic. The basic thing which I went across was the flashing through of memories through my mind, meetings, strikes, functions. It was altogether a good feeling. Had been smiling all the time when I was there. Incredible feeling ! Until my next post.. See ya .. :)
