Notice Board Of Life

The news notice board of life displayed in bold at the centre was “Second phase down. Next starts in a fortnight’s time.”

Another news highlighted in red just below it like a side heading read “Principal Lady luck has resigned. Elections for the next start shortly. Check notice board for future updates.”

On the top left corner of the board assigned for fests and meets were photographs pinned with memories innumberable. A boy and girl were standing in their school uniforms with a girl in the centre who looked like the one I see in the mirror everyday. Another gloss finished memory put up there was of a thin girl sitting with my mirror image in a train. It reminded me of reading the “Trip to Sikkim” notice hung two months ago on this same noticeboard. Also placed beside it was a picture with two figures in it posing with their creation of the “aero-paper-plane.”

Jumping from the memory wall to the next section on the board, my eyes haulted at the bottom section . It was adorned with phrases and quotes by famous personalities. The quotes were specifically arranged in a criss cross manner perhaps to give an illusion of an overlapped thought or circumstance in life.

The one my eyes caught said “If you don’t find the escalator to success, take the stairs.” Just overshadowing that quotation was one which read “Gratitude, a lesson never to be forgotten.”

That’s when I heard the bell ring...

PS: Updates on the notice board will be notified as and when desired by the blog owner. No complaints shall be entertained. :P
