Slam book- My crush

Live your life fully in the school”, this is the most repeatedly chanted statement by my teacher in school days. But I never realized the importance of this statement. Now I regret it.

There are so many means (photos, videos, letter and more) by which you can recollect all sweet memories of your school days. Among these, slam book plays a vital role in driving those memories and through this post I am going to relish my first slam book experience.

Slam book, is a notebook with full of questions which will be circulated among your friends to fill in their own answers to those questions. This book is the remembrance of your old buddies and you can post any kind of questions to them. After a long time, if you happened to read those slam posts, it will definitely bring cute smile on your face.

Let me go back to my school days. Before my final exam, one of my friends circulated her slam book to us and asked to fill it before end of the day. Everyone started filling one by one and I was eagerly waiting for my turn. My turn came and I was casually looking at the questions that were put forth before me. I was stuck by a question and I really didn’t have a clue to answer it. The question is “Who do you have a crush on”?

I was frantically thinking how to answer. Cold war started between my mind and heart. Both knew that was her. But my mind stopped me to reveal the truth. The confusion in my mind was palpable and eventually my mind won the battle. I wrote as “None” with heavy heart. It happened again in high school and I blindly did the same.

Suddenly I have been reminiscing about my school life and now felt like dumb. Gone are those days along with innocence.
