THESE ARE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE...........

Whenever I listen to the Bryan Adams’ song “Summer of 69”, and when he comes to the line “those were the best days of my life”…….. I start to think, how ‘these are the best days of my life’!!

Really, school & college years are the best days of one’s life. But only if you know how to enjoy them.

School days are the best. Where you have no tensions, no added responsibilities. Where you don’t have to face the real world. Your parents are there to protect you at every step.
It is in these years, you make friends & some so close, that you remain friends for life!!!!

Now as I’m in college, I miss those innocent years. I miss those innocent years. I miss playing hide & seek in the lunch break, I miss troubling our teachers. I miss playing pranks on my friends, that teasing & leg pulling. I miss that sudden rush of feelings, at the sight of someone; especially in the later years of school. I miss those long summer breaks, that hanging out with friends, joining summer camps together.

While school years made my character, college years are teaching me to face the real world.

When you enter into college, you step into a world with freedom to do as your heart wishes. But freedom with a little responsibility. College years decide which career you are going to pursue for the rest of your life.
While pursuing you ambitions, dreams, you also have fun along the way.

While in college you meet different people, get to know them, their attitudes, their way of thinking. You are able to distinguish the good from the bad, the right from the wrong. You have the power to take your own decisions. You mature during college. Your way of looking at life changes.

You start appreciating life’s small surprises. You notice the beauty of the nature around you. You long for that 1st rain, that sweet smell of soil & getting with friends.
You enjoy bunking boring lectures of the boring professors, who by the way have a sole objective in their boring lives: to torture students!!!! You enjoy chatting on the “college katta”, the cup of tea with friends. You always seek an opportunity to bunk classes & catch the latest flick.
It’s in college, that you (most of the times) fall in love for the 1st time. It’s your college years that give you your 1st love!!!!!

It’s in college, you can enjoy long drives on your bikes, the wind in your hair & letting your hair loose.

Make most of these years, because, after your start running after bread n butter, YOU DON’T GET TIME. If these years are gone, they are gone forever!!!!!

I’m making the most of my college years. But it’s not just about the fun, you have to make a career for yourself, so that you can live with ease & happiness for the rest of your life……………

Society - what does it mean? It is supposed to be a group of people, large or small, living in communal harmony, & following a particular set of ideologies, cultures, religion & beliefs. Society is to bring different people closer, make the earth a better place to live. Society is to maintain equality, be it between people of different religions, caste or creed, or be it between man & woman.

Then why does our society frown upon a boy & a girl having a healthy relation of friendship? Why is it that people frown & whisper, when hey see a boy & a girl talking, or walking together, or on a two-wheeler? Is it only the right of married couples to do all this?

When a boy & a girl are seen together, people always assume that, they are having an affair, which is considered bad or taboo!! And what if they are in a wonderful relationship called ‘love’ – what goes of their (the people’s) father’s?

People try to be modern & try to be 21st century people. You have to change your attitude, to be modern. You don’t become citizens of the 21st century just by wearing fancy clothes, by shopping at malls, going to multiplexes or by eating at Mc D’s or Pizza Hut!!

People should accept that, opposite sexes attract each other. And that a guy & a gal can just be friends. In fact, no matter how close you are to your male friends, you are always closest to your female friend. – That’s a fact, accept it or not.

And even if two people are more then friends & are in love with each other, what’s the big deal? More than half the marriages in society have love as their foundation. And love starts with friendship!!!!

Then comes the question of “Social Morality”. Who says there shouldn’t be any social morality, but it should be there where it is most needed. Yes, social morality should be implied if a guy is eve teasing a girl, troubling her, harassing her mentally as well as physically & vice – versa.

But the truth is that, no one cares a damn, when a girl is molested in front of their eyes!!

Don’t restrict two friends or two lovers. Make this place an open sky for them to fly. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!

And for all you friends & people in love, if people frown at you, pity them. Because they are missing something wonderful that you have.

And if they get on your nerves, just ignore them, ‘coz they are people, they are going to say something –
