Turning Back The Clock

Moving on from those 'love-lorn' poetry posts, here's a post that's something very different. Its something related to my past. I wish I could turn back the clock. Yes, I wanna re-live my past, although not every moment of it, but definitely the brighter and the carefree ones. And preferably my school days.

School days are the ones that have a special place in everyone's life. The days were filled with unlimited masti and loads and loads of fun (u might guess the amount of fun we had, provided i've used the phrase 'loads' twice...).

Although we were the smallest batch in the whole school (13 people... that's it.... I can hear people asking 13??? only??? yes.... we were just 13...), we were the most united, most sincere (our teachers said so....) and most favourite of all. I get nostalgic when I remember those good old days. The bond of friendship that we shared, the fun we had, standing with others in their good and bad times, sharing joy and sorrow. These days can never come back. I wish they could....

Some five years ago, we were together, together we had fun, we did some real silly things, we had our own pranks, our own thoughts, overall we're proud of being each others friends. And five years down the line, today, we are scattered in different directions (almost...) and we still are proud of being called friends. Ever since we left school five years ago, all of us have never been together.

Of late, we've planned a reunion of sorts somewhere around the last week of December in our hometown Falna or nearby. And I, being the local boy, have been given all the responsibility - from deciding the venue to making necessary arrangement and stuffs like that (ab kya bachhe ki jaan loge???) But actually as its still at planning stage, and not most of us have yet confirmed, I thought I should first draft a 'convincing-yet-funny-and-not-so-boring' invitation. I took it as a challenge. And here's a sneak-peak of what I've written :

Guys, we, the class of '04 of K S Lodha Public School, are planning to have a REUNION of JUST our batch, somewhere in the last week of Dec '09* (Tentative Date : Sunday 27th Dec 2009) in or around Falna.* We want you to come (ye invitation NO sunne ke liye nahi bheja hai...) For more details contact :

RULES :

a) ONLY our batchmates are allowed.

b) PLUS three WILDCARD entries (Manish Jain, Rishank Singh and Arpit Mehta) are also invited.

* The above time and date and venue are tentative. We are yet to finalise things.

Well, this was something which conveyed my message that everyone must be there with a tinge of satire. Mazaak mazaak mein bahut kuchh keh diya na.... I know man.... I know I'm the bestEST.... lolz :D

Anyways, I found it good.... Its now your turn to comment on this piece of invitation. And PLAGIARISTS... beware from copying my creation !!!

I just want to end this post by saying : "Those were the best days of my life...."
