Yearning to Relive Life!

One fine morning, we all reached Joka

Saw the clouds in the sky, trees around the lakes and sung together

Every now and then we drew a roadmap for ourselves

Using our own colours, we painted our own universe

We saw our little dreams of making it big here

We had our own crushes, fights and parties

It was as if time stood still for all of us

There was no reason for us to pretend

We all had so much fun together

All were young and full of life

Those two years seemed to be so long back then

And now when I look back, they were passed by even before I could blink

I often come back here to look at it

Here upon this windy old asphalt road

Still stands the jetty complementing the lake

The old class rooms, alongside the new ones

I always carry the memories of how it used to be

A constant reminder of the bonds we built

I'll never forget all that Joka taught me

And all that it made me achieve

I always hoped that one day we'll all reunite

Recollect and relive those moments. And the time has come
