The new Lane of Lyf...

Today...after crossing those grey walls of school,twelve years of endless struggle seems just a foolish dream!! Fighting with friends over petty issues,blaming others for stealing a pen,playing hide-n-seek n getting caught in a locked room by our old librarian,admiring girls during lunch-hour,persuing teachers to give free-periods,bunking classes for carnival,singing to the beats of a friend's desk(!),trying hard to meet up the expectations of being a house-captain...n what not!!...taking solemn resolutions before each terminals to "study throughout the year"next time.....(next time being the post-script!).... n breaking them the day the exams ended!!!...But finally came the much dreaded of them all..-ISC!!But somehow a decent marksheet arrived a month later...
And now...its a new struggle to meet up the expectations of people who matter...You realize that getting admitted to a reputed college is not an excuse-slip for freedom! It shows you the way to the graveyard,where those colourful memories of twelve years lay burried...Where people smile at you,chat with you,are ready to treat you with fags n booze,and "claim" to be your true-friends..."claim" being the word..!! There's always a fight for recognition...some trying to be a casanova,some trying to be leaders of college-politics,some trying to impress proffessors with 'oil-coated' crap!!... But the fact remains that evryone looks tired of faking it...Their smiling faces look as fake as the yellow and pink paint on the imposing pillars of the gothic college building...
...Even equations with old friends change..people whom you claimed to have known the best,now appear unknown to you..As if distance has really won over the strength of your bond!Your loneliness seem to be the ultimate reality...And as someone says,you have to make "efforts" to speak,"efforts" to smile,"efforts" to keep old and new bonds intact...
