Those Special Moments...

One wish of mine would be to get back those special moments..
Special moments of childhood, special moments when we hang out with our parents.. to beach, to church, to school...

Special moments from school days... the days when we sang as a choir in school... I remember... when was in KG... I was in choir. We had a performance during Christmas.. A friend of mine was next to me.... during the performance everyone were singing including I... but my friend next to me did not sing.. On the open mike I asked him.. why are u not singing? he said... I am playing Guitar... the entire crowd laughed... laughed at our innocence.. even today people laugh at us... laugh at us for being like a bull... working all life through..

I remember.. the days when we used to identify our class mates with their hand writing... today too we identify them by their numbers in our cell phone...

I remember... the days when we used to wait for the Games period... wow... how good those days were... we used to run... fall... get hurt and still.. continue to play... today... there is no time to even think of any play... even if u think so... u have the computers to...

I remember... the days when we used to sit for hours and learn for the exams... even today we continue our studies through distance education.. but... no time to study.... we write all our own stories.. of course a little matured stories than what we wrote in school exams..

I remember.. the day when my friend said that he is there to take the first rank and I should not even think of it... it was my new school... but then... God made me the 1st rank holder all the two years when i was in that school..

I remember.. the day when one of my friend slept in the class.. teacher asked other guys to wake him up.. these guys kicked him to wake him up.. he woke and the teacher asked him about the lesson he took.. he explained and at one point the teacher asked him.. "what next?" and this guy replied.. "that is when I slept"...

I remember.. the day when my professor praised my work and gave me 11 marks out of 10..looks like a movie? nope it's not.. it happened... this is an example of God distinguishing his children..

I remember.. the days... the days when you cared for your friends.. loved to be with them.. loved to play...

I remember.. the day when we had to bid farewell to all our friends... @ school @ college... We collected autographs.... feelings were expressed... thanks and sorry’s were exchanged.. gifts were shared... moments that moved everyone... tears in our eyes... we hoped and promised to meet each other....

I remember... the day when our teacher used to say... "you can't be like this as you grow... you will have to part your friends"... we mocked at them saying we'll not be like that....

Today.... all those promises could not be kept.. all those special childhood moments gone... today we are all haunted by work, responsibility of the family... today we hardly find time even to give a call to that close friend of us... Days fly by.... even if we could collect all our friends for a gathering.. one or two don't make it... coz they are held up....

Should I get a wish... I wanna go back to the past and live those special moments...moments of real joy and fun we had.. moments of our innocence.. moments of our love for one another..

Forget the wish... would we even get to think of those moments.. oh boy...... no time for all that...!!!
