Sometimes it seems that how quickly the time passes.
But actual meaning of it can only be observed by an individual.
The day I entered the class, the first class of my life as a

Student. I saw many of the students of my age were crying but at
that moment I was not aware of the reason. But as soon I saw my
parents leaving me in the crowd full of strange people I became
one of those students. But, now, I see , it’s a fact that you join
school crying and you leave school crying. The people who were
strange to me at that time are now my second family, closest to my
heart. The fear of separation from them fills me with fear. Bunking
classes, mocking our teachers, stealing lunch of others, couples in a
relationship, many hands in one lunchbox, eating between classes,
empty pencil box and then asking for a spare one from friends or
not even asking directly taking theirs, requesting teachers for
not taking their games period for completing the course, freezing
in the winter’s morning and waving at the end. The whole comprises
of lot of memories that cannot be explained in words. That joy can
only be lived throughout. It can only be kept safely in our heart
which is storage of infinite memories. Someday, at the age of fifty
or sixty after retirement, with a cup of tea in one hand, mobile in
the other, reading memes with spectacles on your nose, you’ll be
remebering each and every memory of your school life not the
college one. You must be wondering why? It is because that was the
initial stage of beginning of every type of naughty activities. We
learned everything from here, learning to bunking, helping to teasing,
Friendship to fake fighting, making to copying projects.
The last day of the school seems merely like the end of whole
Entertainment due to our innocence and enjoyment.
This all will be over in a jiff and then the next phase of your
Life will start. The beginning of the new phase, being adult,
Approximately being legal for everything, being two faced, being
insecure from the outside world, learning to be independent. From
safely in the closed wrist of our guardians to be the guardians for
others.The dangerous but most interesting phase where you
will be all alone on yourself, no one will to rely on.
After entering to the college you will be introduced to extremely
new world. You’ll have new experiences that will build up you to
face the real world. But from inside you will be crying to get
those old and tension free days back. The days when you had minimum
tension and maximum happiness(except 12th).The imagination of
college life fills everyone with the thrill and the excitement plus
fear. Thrill for new experiences and fear for entering into almost
new but extremely different world. But the fact which we are all
familiar with is that we have no option left with us. If someone
wants to achieve something in their life. We’ll have to join the
races of donkeys running after the stupid exams which have been
decided by everyone that it will be the one deciding your future.
You will not be the one who will be having their future in their
own hands. It will be the damn society and the biggest and the
bitter fact is that here also you will have no option left. You
will be judged by your marks and grades but not by your talent and
skills. Every youth in the world will be having new ideas and views
to change the world but unfortunately it will remain buried in
their heart and mind. Many of the them will decide to move in a
different direction from multitude but only one or two out of
hundred will be able to succeed by giving message to the society.
But again as usual their message will behave like a
personification of a flower, till the message is in the air it is a
blossom flower and as it starts diminish it will be a dead flower.
Many talents being suppressed, not trying to find their inner self’s
to which their talent belongs, their whole life and devoted time
deserves, not able to scan themselves. But all getting in the line
of getting boring jobs and many of them will have those jobs in
those fields which is not even related to their own field.
But they will sacrifice their interests as in the 21st
century, for money human can do anything. He can learn anything from
being a decent to a moron. But according to human psychology, the
human tends all of this as a right decision. If you opt for
something else, something out of the box, then you will be
Considered as an alien. Most of the youth think out of box but
day by day, being influenced by different thinking people,
their life days is being directly proportional to their thinking
ability as their life days are decreasing, the thinking ability
also is decreasing. In other words, the true face is being suppressed
by our own people.
After some years you will be working and repeating the same
Sucking routine of your life that may not have been decided by you
But by the brainless society which does not think about themselves
Rather love to comment about others. And at that moment of your
Life you would be thinking
“If I would have dared to do what I wanted to do I would not have been stuck here.
If I would have been that much aware of my dreams than this ‘if’ would not have
Come in between”.
But then this ‘IF’ comes.
