Flashback...!

I never realized that time flies so quickly , as i was thinking of my good old days, i went to my home town. My mom asked me to take a look at my old stuff as she was thinking of discarding them...
I went into flashback mode as i opened my old cupboards filled with books n loads of papers.
I came across my dairy in which i used to make all my daily enteries. i felt i was such a silly girl..! , scraping down my life on pieces of paper......i found the smallest n tiniest thing still kept the way i left them.
As i blew away the dust of time........ it unveiled the sweet old memories of my past. I still have collection of cards my friends gave me .....my autograph book.....in which i used to take autographs of my favourite teachers n those who were my inspiration, my scrap book with details filled by my closest friends.............., old photographs with my classmates..., my report cards...,my poem book.... fortunately my passion for it died due to lack of time, small tokens from my first crush safely kept as memento , pasted in my diary and every unimaginable stuff....ahh!
Seeing all that stuff,i felt as if i had travelled in the by lanes of my childhood...i felt a bit stupid and childish.! but then it had such simplicity and innocence bestowed into it
In this fast paced life, full of infidelity, filth and hypocrisy ,we often miss such simplicity, such innocence...that we carry in our past.I almost idol worshiped, one's whom i love and care.They were all unsung heroes of my life.Childhood has such melody and music to itself but it loses its lustre as we grow up.I wish if i could bring the soul of my childhood back into my life again..

An extract from one of my poems i penned down years before...............

If i could read his mind,
I would have wandered, to know the things untold,
If i could read his mind,
I would have known the un-surpassing truth,
If i could read his mind,
I would have known the depth of unfolded layers,
If i could read his mind,
I would have known the truth of my reflection,
If i could read his mind,
I would have known the saga far beyond convention,
If i could read his mind .
I would have eased the pain of wounded heart,
But alas!
I can't read his mind,
I can only see the symphony of mind in despair........................
