Nostalgic Yearning
My pen and my paper The essence of every letter Starting from The sun as star To calculations, Formulas, theories, Floating away we went Really far What never ended was Knowledge Now, even after college Carrying dreams In the eyes, Stretching hands towards The skies, Here we grew up With each step Ahead in our lives.
Remember, The chalk and the duster, The table and the chairs, The swimming pool, The playground, The library, the garden, The dais, the auditorium, With every corner Of this place Just recalling them - Has a lot to say The beauty of the Teachers’ day The love for Children’s day The spirit on Sports day The fun memories of picnic day And for once we landed on Farewell day In so many possible ways, The priceless and the Most wonderful Were the school days.
I wish the bell rings again I wish to reach on time For the morning assembly again I wish to dress well, Complete my work And get ready for School again To be in my second home With my school family And live in Shikshayatan Once again.

Sanctuary of Growth
Needless to say, for me, the term “SCHOOL” is synonymous to “HAVEN” because this is what Shikshayatan is for me---a sanctuary; nurturing, enriching, and encouraging young minds. Having spent thirteen long years in this institution, under the able guidance of my teachers and support from my peers, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I owe everything to my school. This temple of learning has not only taught me ways to celebrate my success, but has also made me resilient enough to face failures.

Empowering Embrace
School remains to be an exceptionally cherished memory of mine. While in school if you have troubles and problems, there are teachers who will heal your deep sense of insecurity with words of reassurance. Every time you falter and doubt your self-worth, the school embraces you and you get a place to regain your confidence. From being a meek little girl, Shikshayatan has taught me how to be self-assertive and courageous in times of travails. Our sense of self and perception of others are hugely modelled on the teachings of our school and therefore, however much we grow distant from school; the school never leaves us apart.
