From School to office!!

Nostalgia - From School to office!!

The clock is going to tick five on this friday evening,

My office timing will be getting over in another hour.

I gave a glance to people around me -

Some of them are standing and having casual discussion,

Some are enjoying their evening coffee,

While most of them are hooked to their computers breaking their head to complete their work to leave on time.

It made me think about my childhood days,

When five in the evening was meant for playing with friends

Where we played hide and seek, Kho-kho, carrom and many more games

Then started off with home work, studying –

Pascal’s law in Physics,

Chemical Equations in Chemistry,

Pythogoras theorem in Mathematics,

Nature of Plants in Botany,

Anatomy of Animals in Zoology,

And so on….

It was college time as days passed by ;

“Exams” changed to “semesters”,

Carrying “loads of books” changed to “just one notebook”,

The term “lessons” changed to “units”

For which we had to refer three or four books for each subject,

Studying on all days for three months per term changed to slogging for one month per semester;

Though the day when results were announced by Anna University made us feel crazy,

Yet it was fun with each one of us messaging and ringing each other.

Days passed by when we started preparing for campus interviews,

Equipping ourselves for written and technical rounds.

Alas, we were happy to have got placement in a software company!!!

Now, we can only cherish those wonderful moments of school and college life

sitting inside this prestigious, air conditioned and ransomly paid software concern

Forgetting our family and friends without having time even to sleep and eat

which inspired me to, of course write this blog!!!
