Keep your friends close ♥️

School life is an unforgettable part of childhood. There is something very special about childhood that no other phase of our life can replace.School years give you plenty of time to bond and grow in the relationship.

Always bringing back nostalgic memories.

Friends we make during our school days mostly last for a lifetime.

School friends have seen us through almost everything possible and haven’t left our sight.Some may have drifted apart but its always the same when we meet again. We not only cherish those moments spent in school but also the energy we shared.

We have literally grown up together eating each others tiffin,listening to the same kind of songs and scoring almost the same marks. We have often covered up and completed journals for each other.All these memories and moments have defined and shaped us.

What we are today is the outcome of our childhood experiences and learnings.

The front benchers and back benchers though in the same classroom would have had totally different memories and experiences.

These memories always bring out the child in us and protects us from every negativity.

You never have to pretend to be somebody else as there is no fear of being judged.

Most of us wore that uniform together once and gave it up also together.

You must be wondering what made me remember school today –

Yesterday I learned from a friend that we lost one of our school mate.Have not seen the person in two decades but still memories of the classroom are so fresh in my mind.

Looking at the school – black and white class photo I was struck by how I recognized the 8-9 year old face staring at me and taking me back to class banters.I cannot remember the person beyond the eyes of a 15 year old.

Such is life!

We leave a lot of things behind and move on to different phases of our life but one recap is enough to shake us up.

Since yesterday I am mentally stuck in school wearing the uniform with all my dear friends wishing to turn back time just once..

Prayers for the departed soul.

Rest In Peace,Om Shanti🙏
