My school has been truly a home away from home and now I have to leave through the same hallowed gates through which I entered for the first time.
"Life if wonderful"
This is only because we have friends and a place where our friendship is stronger and we feel united i.e. our school.
Friends are the people who are aware of how retarded you are and still manage to be seen in public with you. People who make you laugh till you pee your pants. People who cry for you when one of our special items disappear. When you don't have enough money to get a ice cream , they chip in. Know all of your internet passwords. Who would never make you cry just to be mean.
In this adventurous life I have encountered many such people who are also travelling these lands in the search of their goals. But some amongst them don't realize that they cannot achieve their goals without having a helping hand nearby which will always hold your hand when you slip off the edge of cliff or when you have to climb a steep slope. The ones who realize this always continue their quest with a friend with them. Even in famous books and many TV series the protagonist has a group of friends with him when he starts his adventure, even if the aim of the quest if to get a girl you love or to get into the bermuda triangle and all. Never in books do you see a person completing his journey alone. If someone is he ends up failing in his quest. So a friend is always required for the protagonist to move forward.
In my quest, where I am the protagonist friends have a major role to play. the famous Kabir once said, friendship is like a string, strong and firm but if it breaks and you try to join it, it will join but there will be a knot on the string. Just like that i also have had friends and people who used to be friends. But the ones who I can solely trust are the real friends who I can rely o on this quest.And many of these friends have I met inside those hallowed gates of my school.
I have remained in the same school from Kindergarten to class 10 from which I graduated yesterday and my experience has been delightful. In these 11 years I have done and gone through so many crazy things and I will never forget these moments. Time has flown by so quickly and feels just like yesterday when I had first entered the Junior School because we've had our share of laughter, fun, free periods,bunks, appreciations cards and time outs.
Come to think of it, it does feel a bit too short.
About seven years ago, we had another Graduation from class 3, we felt apprehensive as to what the middle school was all about. We were scared yet anxious. I still remember those pencil boxes we were gifted when we were welcomed into class 4 by our seniors and our soon to be teachers. Over the years, we became accustomed to new teachers, new friends, and new people. We were being ground into the earth, face down took on a whole new meaning for us during those pyramid practices.These are memories which will be there in our hearts always. But some may get lost as time passes by. Time is the thief of memories and so these memories have to be kept somewhere safe.
I still remember those days in class 5 and 6 when my friends Shaurya, Mayank and I would sit during the recess and quarrel over who was more powerful-Pikachu or Raichu. Those days when they would come to my house and we would sit all night playing Duel Masters. Kids live in a completely different world, where what is real is something we would ignore and what is virtual would be what we would be sucked into. But those were also cherishable times and how much we try we can't recreate them as our mindset has now changed.
I also remember the days Shivam and I would sit in front of the Edmund Rice Hall and discuss about the Protagonists of the book we were going to write and we did write the complete book. After an year or so , we finished the book -"Solstice- Dragon Mountains" in the hope of getting it published but even after 4 years that hope hasn't changed to reality.
Then in class 9 when I met Shreyas, Pratulya, Trevor and all who were there beside me at all times(and by beside me I refer to Whatsapp , Facebook etc. Means of communications have changed). Over-nights at Shreyas's place with Vaasu and Vibhu were also great moments which I will always remember. Then me becoming the Head Prefect and meeting Aakash Dutt. There are many more and I will remember all.
Our Graduation which was held yesterday was great and such moments can only be recreated in our minds. Such moments and friends are unforgettable and even as time passes by, they have an everlasting role to play in my life.
Life is beautiful and life is short.
And life has to be lived to its fullest.
The world is small and we will meet again
So don't forget me and I won't forget you.
Thank you all for you have helped me grow
My seeds of success you helped me sow.
PS - :) There are some people who also have a major role to play in my life but they can't be mentioned in this blog post because of personal reasons. Don't question who they are and if you are the person I am mentioning about, then don't worry cause you will surely appear in my autobiography - "Touching the Sky" which will be released on January 12th, 2024.
PS- I will honestly try to get it published in this date. When i would be writing the book i will be reading all my posts and I will see the date. A good reminder.
