What Did You Teach Me

What Did You Teach Me

From the first day to the last, the class room is the vicinity for the words to splash the information. Asleep or awake or half awake, the info poured down upon you.
What were you then...
What are you now...
its an open ended question...
Carried the dreams down from the mind's lanes
You arrived to the altar of Destiny...
or better lets call it the threshold of D :)

All think that we teach,
and you listen
yes
There is another side of it too...
You too teach us....
With your shortcomings and smart ways
But how many of us learn... is the million dollar question...

I listen to the volumes of disturbed silences
Each speak a different story...
The innocence
The adorance
The smartness
The naughtiness
The ever changing equations of the mind...
The breaking or the bonding
Day in and Day out...
My Diary is The Days of Remembrance and Gratitude

Each face and name carry the imprint of mind and heart
Cherish you as a part of my past...
Thanks that we happened to each other!
You only could teach me the unknown lesson and take my wisdom if you  wish to... :)
