like everyone, I had also a
great memories of my school life,
in learning, understanding and
enjoying with friends, I'd spend my time,
When I first time went to school,
there were running many things in my mind,
that what would be like school and what would it be inside,
that day, I wore something grey,my mom made two braids,
with water bottle, lunch box and many children
we reached at school with our school begs,
I was with all and even also alone,
remembering my parents & missing my home,
forgetting these all, I went in row to pray,
as we know, this is all that our culture say,
I was listening the uttering of words of boys and girls,
and we were all are strangers & belong to different cults,
someone was smiling, someone was crying,
some children were teasing and some were also shying,
I was thinking about to whom should I talk,
and who would be my friend that I call,
before the class, there were ringing of bail,
and so interesting in which we play in our interval,
there were so many swings and roundabout,
from slippery strips to merry-go-around,
I enjoyed and learnt something new at that holy place,
in just few moments, I had got some as my friends,
when I returned to my home happily and
told about my school and all,
and the next day, I was thinking that,
how many friends would I get in my class,
