We may busy today
in our professional lives, we may tie our knots in family and children one day,
we may know how difficult it would be to waste free weekends for home shopping but
would it be easy to flush away those cherishing days we have spent with our
school and college friends? Would it be easy to forget those silly PJs, sharing
lunches, bunking the classes, teasing and commenting on others affair or
breakups, matching slippers with matching accessories, few idiotic facial expressions
on preaching of teachers and giving distinctive names to them? The list is
endless until we forget to recall those were the only days. Even from school to
college, college to office, weekend parties and now office trips, places may be
changing; the visualization and group of friends may transforming but those breaking
emotions, talks in code words, eye indications, shaky body movements will always
remain same no matter with whom you are today. I used to loathe memories because
it is so anguishing to commemorate happiest days of life in melancholy. Somehow
those days can never come and lashes do get wet sometimes but now I adore it. I
wish if I would be childish again. I like doing naughty things again. I giggle to
hear when group of boys says “Tota” to a lavishing girl passes by them. There
are few code words which are still same among friends if I start with
one it won’t end up easily.
Roaming alone in
flea markets reminds me the time when we the hostel girl’s gang used to gad
about different places without any stress. Sometimes I feel nostalgic recalling
my hostel days and I still feel the clamor of college corridor in my senses. I wish if could call off those days back when “burn
money” was the only business. Today the only thing I see people are chasing is
to “earn money” and for their career growth.
How beautiful
those were the days when we used to talk about Heer-Ranjha or Laila-Majnu. I am
sure many of us have heard the Play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare either being
audience or by playing some role in school or college but today lust is more vital than true
love. So often I only heard about breaking relationships than being
togetherness in love for so long. Somehow true love is fading away, no offense
for those who are in love but in the general context we all know about the
emerging extra marital affairs and living relationships.
Have you ever feel
that the terms “attitude”, “ego”, “respect”, “professionalism”, “proud” and
many alike were not as frequent in the college? We never seek our own benefit
in shaking hands with friends or when we needed the friends shoulder to cry
they were always available no matter what time is and we always backlash on
them without hesitation in curiosity or happiness. People are more of bank
balance today than shaking hands without benefits, they seek their own self if
we share some grief to them and I ashamed sometimes that we lived in so
artificial world which is more materialistic than naturalistic. Is it the time
or we are changing? It is of course “we”, clock is running as before.
There is no come
back of those days we have lived and the list of memorable moment is endless. I
wish if I could be able to call some genie that I can easily ask him to fulfill desire to bring my old days back.
This is not just
my story but the story of every individual. As effectual whoever is reading will
sure go in the flashback and who are still in their youth would never want to misspend.
Those days were the only days,
memories will never die in my heart,
I still miss my close and dearest pals,
does not matter in the dawn or dark…….
There is no validity of emotions,
memory can never expire……..
The list s endless until we breathe
And no end of desires,
I wish if I could call off those days,
I wish if I could live as a child again…
I do not cry for what I have lost,
I have learnt to smile in pain……
