Happy were the days, when I was child, I did not have to worry about earning a living, or about performing good at work place, to earn a promotion. I was so happy to run to school, and meet all my friends. School for us was a place to meet and play. I was never the studious type. I liked playing and discussing about new toys that came into the market, than listen to what our teachers taught us. This sure did not earn a good reputation for me, but nobody bothered. In those days, nobody bothered about grades, at all, what was important was, whether I was going to school or not. I never liked skipping school, would be very sad, whenever I fell sick, because, I missed my chance of meeting my friends.
Me not being studious did not have any bad effect on my future, like failing in a subject. I was always among the one's who was happy and content with getting through the test. My mother used to tell me, '' Son, You can pass a test, even without studying. Just think, how much would you score, if you had given at least a single read?'' I never used to pay any heed to her. But with age, seriousness set in and our bunch of naughty, prank playing boys started to study seriously. We were now called the Good performer's batch, which was a better title than Gang, the prank players, and few others.
After college, me and my friends parted ways, in search of our own destinies. We had promised that we will be in touch with each other, and none of us, broke this promise, until each one of the friends, got their own job and had settled down with a family of their own.
A family is a great responsibility, if you ask me. It means that one can never be worry free like a child. I observed, that I was brooding over managing finances for my son's future. This was all, part and parcel of life, and it taught me, that friends keep coming and going, but their memories stay in our hearts for ever.
Our school was celebrating its Golden Jublee year and invited all the alumni batch students. Many of us, had moved out of the address that was provided in the school records, but destiny had decided that We meet again and so we met. I was the only one who visited this school after getting the Almuni invitation, everybody else came there, to refresh all their childhood memories of this place.
Sure, school plays a prominent role in building a person's character. Me and my friends realized that each day, we had something new to learn even after we think we have finished learning all. Life presents all its challenges one after other, but the best part of the life is the childhood. Which is why, many say, Happy were the days, when I was Child.
