My school days

I dont have much memories about my school days. Its like a faded image. Unclear. But there are certain things which I still remember, which includes memories of my school friends. I would like to share it with you.

I had joined an Upper Primary school bit far from my home. It was very difficult for me to leave my Lower Primary school friends. Everyday I had to get into a state government bus to reach my school since there was no school bus. Since ours was a village, only few buses were there. There used to be heavy rush in the bus. So I initially did not like the new school at all. After few days, I got few new friends there. Among them two were much closer to me. One was a girl whose house was en route mine. She was a sweet, simple village girl. And the next one was a girl from a town far away. She was staying near to our school with her grand parents. She always use to come in modern dresses(whenever we dont have to wear uniforms) and hair styles. In my mind I started admiring her and wished to be her best friend. For me what all she does became ideal. But she was equally fond of both of us. Whatever it is we three were always together. Since I was studious I used to get good marks in most of the subjects. So I was a pet of all the teachers. For me my two friends were everything. And I liked my shcool a lot. Everyday I use to wake up in the morning in the hope of meeting my friends.

On completing my 7th standard, I joined a High School in the same compound of my UP school. My best friend from town returned to her place and joined a school there. It was heart breaking for me. But we parted in the agreement that we will never lose contact with each other and will keep writing letters. And my other friend joined the same school as mine. It relieved me. My High School life went on and soon she became my best friend. Since it was higher class, we had lot to study. Letters came to both of us from our friend. We use to write everything that was happening in our lives. Months passed by and the frequency of letters lessened and finally it came to a stop. Most interesting thing is nobody realized it. Our final exams at 10th standard began and we all performed well. And it was time to say good bye to my friends. This time also everybody promised to keep in touch through letters. And I hope you know what would have happened. I guess this is how priorities change in our life as time pass by. I wished if this email, chat, mobile phones etc were there those days. Atleast I would have known were my old friends are.

These are only memories of my school life. I feel ashamed of myself for forgetting all the good moments and incidents.
