Back to School Nostalgia

Kids everywhere in uniforms, Walking their way to school from dorms
Of sleepy faces and tied up laces, Little guys and girls up since early dawn

Some of them being the first time at school, Crying for mommy and daddy to stay
The smiling teachers are all ready, With classrooms ready to wisk them away

Of pretty faces and ponytails, Little girls name shalini and gayle
Boys called rohan and adrian, All walking up to the school atrium

The day will start with the national anthem, A speech by the priest and a nun maybe
There will be some classes and a lot of fun, With all their classmates they will run

The day started with a sleepy face, All powdered up by mommy or granny
By the time they reach their home it won't stay, Coz all of them will play in the muck today

Oh so glorious the days at school, Be it the girls from Joseph's
Or being punished to stand on the stool, Be it the crammed up buses
Or the music classes, The sports days or Be it memorizing those verses
Even the walk to and fro, Oh Jesus I miss them so

So to these kids I'd say make sure you enjoy every day
Because once you get out there is no going back
You will miss your pals and the masti you had
And then like me you would say "Wish I was in school too!" almost everyday.


I could possibly write on and on about my days at St.Xavier's hanging off banyan trees, or levelling the pitches at Don Bosco's and the fun years in junior college at St.Xavier's and then the rocking time at Fr.Agnel's.
