u can never go home again...

i went to school on tuesday... met most of the teachers... hung out in the bandroom... it really felt like comin home.. i cant tell u how it felt to be back... u know... so much has changed.. n yet everything is almost the same... they've redone the bandroom.. put cupboards in it like the ones in JPSharma sir's room..the old room for learnin instrumental music... for the guitars n stuff..i think anmol sir's taken over the instrumental music bit.. but the orchestra???? i really dont know.. i didnt ask... there was a blackboard n a bulletin board in the band room... which was covered with newspaper clippings n posters etc...it was sooooooooo much fun.. hanging out there again..my haunt for 2 yrs..n yet now i felt like i was in a dream..
soooo many ppl had turned up..my juniors though.. the ones that have just finished with their 12th boards... pallavi batra, abhimanyu, shivang, tamanna, n lots more of their classmates... i'd called sasthi... so we both basically went to hang out in the bandroom again...i took a walk around the building... saw my classes... teachers.. the nooks n corners where i'd stood with frenz n talked..
there was practice for the scholar badge function goin on in the MP hall.... i stood there for a while n nearly started cryin coz it was soooo familiar... n yet i wasnt a part of it anymore...the two choirs... the band, instrumentalists.... madhok maam n surjeet maam n goswami maam n nigam sir n all those students milling around...
i went to the 8th, 9th, 10th wings again... walking along the corridors i'd run thru....laughed n cried in... chatted n argued with my friends in.... so familiar... yet so changed.

oh well..its been 2 years for me since i have been in that school..readin ur post gave me shivers..i feel as if..i cant go there..its like resurrection of the past..i mean..the ppl aren't there anymore with whom i had an assocition..and wandering among the corridors would be like examining the sunk TITANIC after many years..yet i also feel that 2 years down the line..IT-BHU will also become juss another part of my life which went away...u know when i was in school..after i used to reach a certain class i used to avoid going back to the previous one intentionally..like when i was in 8th..i nevaa went to the 7th corridors..phew..goin back to school alone..absolutely alone..without any friends at all..would be too much of nerves!!!
