Golden (Sona) days

To step into the grand arches of Sona,
To a class of unreserved subjects
Of which one had not unexpected.
We found the unoccupied spaces, 
Only to occupy, and speak to the near, 
"Hi" was the first word, then a smile.
The name followed by "what is yours";
A moment of uncertainty all lasped
When the lecturer entered the hall
Equally nervous and brave to tame.
There was silence until he outspoke
The name of roll #1, everyone looked
Up at him, so it is he the name chose
Who is next? When comes alphabet D?
Boys by-hearted the girls name, 
And girls of girls, how lively
The atmosphere? The ambience was fresh.
When the lecture started, 
Some wrote what lecturer said, 
some wrote what they heard, 
Some wanted to know what was told, and 
Some pretended as if.
We learnt to learn, we befriended, 
We too accepted life to full.
Those were the days of youth, 
days of bliss. 
The golden days, truly sona memories...
