Gone are those days…But live in memory always…
When Jan came with the school anniversaries and the church festival..
I bought spring bangles from the festival stalls in the church for my anniversary dances…
When Feb came with revisions in school, one chapter a day..
I have to answer or I am caned.. Oh!!! How frightened I used to be…
When March came, with the sun soaring high, water level diminutive..
And I.. I write my annual exams and sigh many a sighs of relief ..
Gone are those days…But live in memory always…
Along comes April.. with the Palms Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter..
Busy days indeed with prayers, way of the cross, gathering at ancestral home and late night Holy mass
I go, I pray, I walk, I eat, I talk and I listen…Jesus crucified and resurrected…
May comes and goes with tours a, games ,getting new books and school uniforms..
It is very hot indeed and the stream is dry… green and ripe-mangoes in all forms…
When June comes..The school reopens and so does the sky..
It is pouring cat and dogs on the Monday morning, I am wearing my new uniform!!!
Gone are those days…But live in memory always…
Comes around the corner-July.. So does my birthday, another set of mid-terms and sometimes, a fever..
August is the month of Independence, a little outdoor activity in the form of clearing school ground..
Probably a speech competition on Patriotism, an essay or recitation competition of the Panchayat..
And with small tricolored flags stuck to the cycle handle, I am on road the whole day..
When September comes with Onam.. and brings along Maveli and exams..
I don’t remember the exams, but after exams..we go flower hunting…
Flower carpeting of DCL, YMCA, Chittady Library.. From one place to another..
With loads of flowers, chirathu, accessories and of course trophies too:-P
October came with Pooja vacation, tours, art festivals..
When November came with a lot more friendships, fun, happiness and smiles…
Gone are those days…But live in memory always…
When came December with Christmas, cribs, x-mas trees..
the promise of a new year, holidays and temple festivals…
Gone are those days…But live in memory always…
