THE CLASSROOM

This classroom is a mother’s womb.
The students trying to bloom,
Bloom like a new born,
Out of the mother’s womb.


This classroom is an ark,
Students trying to make a mark.
Sophists standing to show the path,
Students choose to take a path.


The exuberance of the youth,
Shall be the guiding truth.
Let there be light for all,
As a new dawn awaits for all.


The meeting point of youth and old age. The convergence of experience and exuberance. On one side we a have an old charismatic persona sharing his experiences about life and on the other side we have students who aspire to be like him. This place is called the classroom, the abode of learners and seekers.
An old man making a statement and being appreciated by the students is a rare occasion. Each grey strand on his hair speaks of his firm affirmation to life’s challenges. A rare pearl which can be found only by delving deep into the ocean. Age is just a number for this man because he still possess the valour and enthusiasm of a youth. A common man for the others but a hero for his students, this old man strongly believes in the power of the youth and the students of the class to be the future of this great nation.
The youthful exuberance can be seen in the sparkling eyes of the students of the classroom. They always seem to be in search of knowledge and wisdom. Each one here is unique with varied backgrounds and cultures. As these students go on to bring about a change in society, breaking the stereotypes a new dawn awaits for them.
“Youth is the knight in shining armour.”

“Old age is the commander in chief.”
