N hey..its not another one of those cliche posts u might have come across !! So here u go...
Ever since I faced d first ever emotional whammy in my personal life in d very first year of my grad. college, I tried to sum up the tit-bits of "WHAT WE ALL WERE ! N WHAT WE ARE NOW !!"
As a part time blogger, I always feel nostalgic when I retrospect my past, n try to find an answer to dt humble request v all make when v see a bunch of school kids, frolicking around the corner of d streets, d request v make when v get a chance to walk past our old school gates...a simple pristine wish " WISH I COULD GO BACK TO THAT TIME..AGAIN !!" The era of innocence n tranquility....ws wt dt time really ws...
Who wud ve thought that dt d excuses v once used to give to our moms while waking up for school, d monotonous school uniform dt v hated so much, d after effects of reaching late to school, n d endless excuses n tantrums thrown by us towards our teachers would b missed so much now !!
School was the time wen v were just free from the malice of the outside world..8am - 2pm..6 hrs of pure fun and enjoyment...these 6 hrs everyday gave us the opportunities to meet our best buddies ! To fight wid our so called "rivals" who today r d ones v tend to bank upon ! To develop new crushes everyday, n take a flight to our own fairy world from d very first page of our notebooks, till d tym v landed on our new crush d very next day on d last page of our notebooks !!!
From petty fights over stationery to developing complete dislike for d bully PTIs...from d well planned excuses to visit d medical room to the real cases of stomach aches n nausea...from d fake leave applications to d real notes in d school diary in red ink... L.i.F.e's definition has undergone a complete "transition" !!

Who wud have thought dt d phrase "Lets meet n plan" will slowly n steadily transform into "Lets plan n meet" !!
Perhaps there has been a shift in our so called priorities since dat tym, to d tym v r living in today..N wt do u think are those shift in priorities ?! Wel read on n m sure u r gonna smile n think upon this perspicacious reality once u r through !
From family n friends to our "serious" girl/boy friends...from well maintained notebooks to one small notes cum contacts cum record book...from simple two shades of uniform to d ever changing attires...from a two wheeled cycle to d hefty bikes n posh cars..n who can dare to forget...from d usage of simple monotone landlines to all sorts of hip n happening gadgets...Well the winds of change have surely struck everyone of us...n y shouldn't they ?! V need to match up with the fast pace world..d ever changing...ever nagging...ever confused...and the ever gaudy n meretricious world of wonders !
But here again...I come full circle..to the phrase I took up a few paragraphs back...y do v still want to go bk to our childhood days...y do v think dt v were better off as youngsters..." Y DO V WANT TO GROW UP ONCE AGAIN ?!?! " when v r leading a life full of luxuries, speed n freedom...
Even after taking a long time in writing this post, I tried to question almost all bonhomies around me...just to try n answer d above mentioned...a very simple question...N though everyone empathised, n understood the essence of d question...none were able to say exactly "Y DIS HAPPENS" ?
N if u, while reading up dis post went back to ur childhood days..d days of puerility...den try to think upon the same question n leave ur answers in d comments section !
Note : This post has been imbued by my school mates, who all have entered their 3rd yr in college, n still r searching for their lost childhood.
