Bidding adieu to my Alma Mater : Part- I

Posted on February 3, 2009 by Arpit

“ You took me by my hand into the world of education……………you nurtured me with your fruits of dictation…………. and when I learned  to say thank you for everything …………….. you are wishing me luck as if it was nothing “

It had to come, It will come and I cannot do anything  because life is all about moving on. I wish I had a time machine to relive certain moments of my life, but I think the wish is too hollow that it cant be fulfilled .

School  brought me joy , it brought be the sense of being “myself”, it initiated my thought  process and it made me what I am today.But why it has to come to an end? It gave me that intangible shield, that warmth, that comfort which I believe nobody could . But  all will come to an end on 15th February 2009, the last day of my school life, of my beautiful world of fantasies, dreams, wishes and aspirations.  But it does not mean an end of everything . Its all about moving on with the pace of  time . After all change is the need of the hour. But  I owe a lot to my school for what it has inculcated in me . It is an emotional moment but I know I will deal with it . So I am just hoping for the best and keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well :P

    Arpit, I guess you need to put “pages” widget in your sidebar. All your pages will automatically show. Try this and then tell me if it doesnt work.

    I miss school life though I do not miss the school much!

    I have been a DAV student; good school but lacking in many ways!

    I am also waiting for vol. 2.

    Dont worry Arpit.. College will be another great experience for sure.. I had some great experience during the college.. so no need to worry.. missing school is quite worrisome.. but we have to move on..

    Do the exams well.. all the best :)

    @ oorja : yes and i am hoping for the best :P
    but i think college might lack that authoritarian, disciplinarian shield….but everything has its own importance …..maybe in next few months i will say college is much better than school :lol:

    “I wish I had a time machine to relive certain moments of my life, but I think the wish is too hollow that it cant be fulfilled..”

    I wish so too.. We keep making new and better friends always, but somehow the school days remain the best days of one’s life.. Rightly portrayed!

    Btw, I love the header..!! :D
