Revisit to 'Our Old Alma Mater'
Those empty staircases;
Which once used to be filled with our jam sitting,
Those lonely benches;
Which were overloaded with many of us sitting on single bench leaving others bare,
Those classrooms;
Which were remained our solely world for whole two years;
Howbeit, now we find ourselves misfit,
That language lab;
Which once was considered our fun addaa, now remains silent in spare times,
That garden area;
Which once was a secret zone after bunking the lectures of non favourite teachers😉,
Now became toom and mute zone,
Remember that lake side we used to cross cat footed? , now somehow bounds with iron boundaries to prohibit the trespasses..
That canteen area which used to brimmed with our laughter and yells; now became such a place to mourn.
For all these numbness in each corner I found you my friends with the same fulfillment.
