Memories

I was cleaning my cupboard ( yeah miracles do happen ;) ) yesterday when I discovered this :


So why is this special? Because this is probably the only time in my life that I've written a poem and gotten an A .lol.. I'm really bad at writing poems.. This one was written in 7th standard and I have it preserved till date, I'm quite an archiver ;)

Another thing I discovered was a song, total nonsensical crappy song I wrote once (the only time actually :) ) I still remember the tune..
Well here's how it goes.. yeah get ready to throw the eggs and tomatoes.. :P

Oh and before I present it, I would like to state that it is not written for anyone or any situation. This was just the influence of the kind of English songs I used to hear at that time (9th standard i think..) and mushy crap that I must've seen then.

I gave my heart
to you forever,
'cause I felt that
you'd let me down never.
But you, you!
Broke my heart and left me forever

When you left me,
I was in despair,
'cause then I realized
that you, you and only you
were my life.
And everyday I love you
like mad (!! )
My life, my soul
are all yous
Come back to me
I'm all yours.
When you left me,
I realized
the part you played,
in my life.
But you, you
didn' realize that you were
important to me
I'm nothing without you,
Come back !Back to me!


Lol..there's still a bit left but I can't go on.. it's just sooooooooooooooo silly! Well I just thought it was time for some entertainment.. so put it here ;) I don't know how could write that.. crazy memories of childhood.. :) Thank god it was the one and only song I wrote.. and noone ever got to hear it..lol. I think I must've realized myself how bad I was at this ;)

I've been out of touch with everyone for the past few days.. dunno wat I've been doing. Well exam time coming up soon so I hope to be back to full time blogging ;)

Well that was one helluva song. ;) I mean you actually had a tune to go wid it.I actually tried singing this one in a couple of ways but well I accept the defeat. Try to sing the song ,record it and then post the audio file. Will like to hear the tune ;)

that was kind of cute and silly..but then everyone gets bitten by the mush bug in their teens...ok..u might want to put a bullet in my head for this..but i must say i didn't quite like the new template :)..the older one was pretty rocking..but then it's my opinion..:)

Swetha said...

childhood memories are so cute... hmmm..even i've had this experience of writing a song on christmas eve during my eighth standard... he he.. so silly of me.. i still , at times sing that song and start laughing. i do that also to irritate my brother and we both start laughing... funny memories

AlterinG Abhishek said...

OH My gawd.. I have a very similar page of and extempore article written for my english class..
and my shock was the way "A" and "Well written" is commented...
to the extent I also had spelling mistakes marked... haha but they were more...
Hee hee
( Where did you study,,,,LOL, seems like the same teacher's initials..(".)..hee hee yeh zyada ho gaya)

BUt too good

LOL! I must agree that second poem was a bit too mushy...almost reminds me of schooltime crushes. But then again havent we all got our little closet of silly secrets hehe.

But hey that first poem was truly amazing...very touching...in fact I was wondering what inspired it?

Anil said...

Nice hand-writing :)

teacup said...

hahhaa...that was soo cute..you still kept that paper:)
and the song...umnn...well..I know!! but well, it was kinda cute:) u know wat I wanna say!!;)
but we all did that in school, even I used to write songs...offcourse d insipiration always came from englisg songs then...some time bcak I found a poem...I had written...needless to say it is crappy..but still I've kept it:)

Abhishek Upadhyay said...

Hi Neha,
That was such a good song

gave my heart,to you forever,
'cause I felt that you'd let me down never.
But you, you! Broke my heart and left me forever

what a beautiful song. Trust me Neha, I have read many poems and songs from the people who claim that they are poets…but the poems really sucked…This is first time I am seeing a girl who says that she is not a poet and writes very bad…and comes up with a beautiful poem( well A grade tells everything). School days was the time when we used care nothing and did what we want with “who cares “ attitude. After we grow up we are affected with “ what others will think syndrome” and unknowingly kill the real self in us and become an artifical individual who is just …as you said..crap.

So shed that syndrome and why don’t you start writing again…Agreed you wont be able to give poems of Shakespeare caliber(did he wirte any poems…?) but down the lane after many years you will have exactly the same feeling which you had after seeing the poem of your school days

Regards

Princess said...

Gr8 work. nice song. You can try writing more songs. :)

Anirudh 'Lallan' Choudhry said...

hey neha tell u wat nothin aint silly in writing..for example if u n me like a thing and u praise it in beautiful words n i jus write i like it, at the end of the day we both have the same feeling and words cant change it...so the feel is wat matters not the words..they come naturally..in ma view everyone is best for himself until he loses his thoughts..hope u dont..cheers!

Prmod Bafna said...

I thought it was a pretty nicely written! The innocence shines through! Me thinks a sincere effort always triumphs..! and that poetry of yours is amazing! couldn't believe you wrote it when you were in 7th grade!! It is very in-tune and aware. you'd prolly bring a blind person to tears with this touching poem of yours! :)

Sudarshan said...

Your blog's looking great;-) Good work!! Hehe its great to discover poems or pieces of paper/notebooks written or used by us ages ago..its a unique feeling!! I therefore try to preserve as many notebooks as possible!!Hehe the song is good though..honestly I liked it!! You're right lol..you've been a bit disonnected from blogging..anyway best of luck for your exams, and hope to see you in action soon:-)

Jackal said...

wow ur are /were so good @ writing..tht was really nice..wht are u doing studying law ??????

Anonymous said...

The song is hilarious. Hehe.

SeePearrl said...

LOLzzzzzzzz :))
Same with me...LIke to archive stuff..sometimes even the stuff that i know i dont use :)

Sudeep said...

I would like to state that it is not written for anyone
stating this makes me think it was for someone definitely :))

but the poem is really cute... suits the pink mood of ur template pinky ji

exam time n ur full-time blogging... yeah i do remember tht

niTin said...

Hi Neha sorry for being out of touch. Been busy, you know the feeling. When I returned today, I found a big bag of surprise. First up, the template. It rocks. Then the poem. In that poem I found a sensitivity and depth that we look for in any poem.
I think too many of us tend to forget that blind people have totally different frames of reference. Example, we would describe a leaf just as green, a visually-challenged person may describe it as symmetrical, graceful and soft. To grasp this at a tender age itself is marvellous, keep up the good work.

Anonymous said...

a nice post n a great great blog :D keep rockin!

Suds said...

:) lol... That poem was good. I was laughing for a while.:)

Ar Ar Ar Arrrrr said...

Blind but I can see...

hmmm....

I was able to read that title only afta clicking on the pic to see the enlarged version...coz the only thing I cud make out was, "Blind Butt Chaser"

Then I read that you got A...and I was like...holy cow!!

ITs time to click on the image to read the poem now...hehe..

Nice one Neha zeee!!

Vinesh said...

Very good! :-)
Does this have a version of you singing too ;-)

Anand said...

Hey,
This is cool!
I wish I had kept stuff like this from my childhood days...
and the poem..well just says u had a normal growing up phase!!lol!

Φ said...

Very nice poem..i luved it :)

Neha said...

@Manish, i'll ignore the silly part :P
this blogpost is already beginning to look tht way though ;)

@Pri, yeah, the innocence.. the memories it brings back, it makes me feel so good :) i have lots of such things archived :D

@Seashells, Will do ;)
Really? I'm using firefox right now.. I don't use IE infact.. wat makes u say tht..

@Keshi, lol.. yeah.. profound really profound ;-)


@catch22, lol..yeah i still remember the tune but if i sing the song.. ahem.. all of u wud run away from here..lol..

@ss, mush bug..lol..yeah i think tht was it :D wel the older one might b back after sometime on popular demand ;)

@sweta, hey wat song did u write? i'd love to read it :D

@abhishek,OMG :O too much of a coincidence here.. which school were u in? lol..

@Alex, hey good to see ya back :-)
too mushy? it was tooooooooooooooo mushy ;)
the first one, i think we had a story on the subject.. something we read and discussed in class and then we all had a to write a poem..

@Anil, i was waiting fr someone to say tht ;)

@Yashita, i know i know ;)
post it!!i'm sure it'll b adorable ;-)
yeah exam time.. means i'm gonna b more at home, amd more and more on the comp :D

@Abhishek, Hi abhishek! that was a huge comment ;) welcome here!you really mean all tht?! wow.. thts too much of praise for me.. thanku so much :-)
me writing.. well i do write, but somehow i find it easiar to express myself to normal writing rather than thru poetry..i think it's prbably cause i just write watever comes to my head and don't hv the patience to put it all in poetic form :) but of course.. i'll keep writing!

@Aizwaikcha, thanks :D another.. will probably take a few years.. atlst ;)

@anirudh, true buddy! the words r just the means.. i hope i don't lose my thoughts.. ever :) cheers to u too!

@Prmod, thanku!! don't know whether i deserve the praise..but i'll accept it graciously and say thankyou! :D

@Sudarshan, ok.. so lemme start counting the votes now.. shud b arnd 50-50.. lol.. half of u guys like my new template and the other half don't. ;)
you know i still have almost all my report cards preserved too.. :)

@Jackal, I'm trying to make a living buddy ;)

@Anirudh, good.. i succeeded in makin someone laugh atlst ;)

@Rathna, so ur an archiver too :D

@Sudeep, lol.. it really wasnt.. i wrote tht disclaimer caus ei was sure everyone was gonna ask.. of course i had a lot of crushes and broken hearts then but they never inspired me to write poetry ;)

pinkiji..lol.. u know u incidentaly guessed the name i almost had :D

Beautiful. Seventh standard. Exemplary class. Believe me! When I was in my seventh standard, I am not sure if you'd eat it but I'll say it nevertheless, I was not familiar with English. I got into an English speaking school and a person came forward and asked me, "What is your name?" and I stood there dumbfounded for a while. He stared intently while I looked lost. Why? Because I was wondering if I should say, "Sudhir" or "My name is Sudhir". That was me in my seventh standard. Tough to believe, eh? I know.
But tell you what? If you had written that poem now, and posted the same, I'd have said the same. "Beautiful". Lovely topic and a wonderful meaning to it. At 12 years. All I can do is shrug and tell you that you were brilliant.
And the second one? Now, that falls into the 'cute' class. I know how it hurts and the way you wrote it, it was cute. Nice post. :D

sinusoidally said...

It is so nice to find old papers that have a good grade on them...I think I trashed all of mine. But reading your 7th grade poem was cool. :-)

Rita said...

Hey, for a schoolgirl, it is a nice poem! :D

Vishy said...

Excellent! superb stuff !!!

Anonymous said...

Even I have preserved the very first story I had written. Though i didn't get an A in it. Nevertheless, its special. I know how you felt when you retrieved your poem. This is my first time to your blog. Keep posting!
