Remember These?

Hi there! I want to write about something that you can relate to. Something you can think of as a memory down the lane. Something that will make your lips curl wide. Something that will strike your mind the instant you read. Any guesses?

Okay.Here I'm to rewind all our (your) childhood memories. You remember the first time you started speaking? Probably our parents would've told us you were a very good child when you spoke so little when you were young. Look now, you've grown and talk too much. You remember your first day to school? Carrying a school bag with nothing inside, just only a pencil and eraser and of course lunch box and snacks box. You remember the first friend you got in school? You still have contact with him or her?
You remember changing to an other school because your parents' got a transfer and you were scared to move into a whole new place, with no friends and unknown places? But over time,we got used to that place. You remember your high school friend, whom you troubled to give ideas to talk with your crush? Remember those best friend phone calls which simply last for an hour or two in which we literally spoke nothing about school stuff? Remember the days after school, when we sat together as a group and talked about all random things under moon? Those PT hours? Who can forget them? They were heaven. But as far as my PT hours are concerned, I watched my class guys play football and I used to just roam around the playground talking with my best friend( Yes! I sort of wasted my PT by talking and not playing , but that's okay. I'm happy about it). Remember the days before exam? Phone calls! Phone calls! And phone calls! ( actually landline calls!) On the day of exam, learning a 2 mark answer to answer can never be forgotten ( oh comm'on, we read everything only a hour before exam) Remember that? Remember the anxiety and excitement that exams are  done? Remember the days we shared lunch together? ( My friend and I literally waited for Saturday's because an other friend of ours brings delicious pooris for lunch). Remember the assignments we copied? Remember the notes we blindly wrote from the topper friend without knowing what's been written? Remember those comments which our classmates commented for no specific reason? Remember gossiping about couples? Remember the first time your crush smiled at you?
Oh wait! Lots of school memories itself!

Let me take a diversion. Remember the time when parents dropped you at school? Remember the pocket money they gave you? Remember those extra lunch mom packed for your friends? Remember the time dad tied your shoe lace? Remember the time you stood in the front while dad drove the scooter? Remember the days when your parents put you in summer classes? Remember the balloons you wanted to catch which flew high? Remember the day when you first fell down and you were taken in ur dad's arm to the hospital? Remember the days you went to play with your neighborhood friends?
Oh so many memories strike me at this instant!
Good old memories are priceless. I smiled all through rewinding these memories when I wrote this. Memories either make you smile or make you cry. Childhood memories does both. Isn't it?
