It's one of those memories that you might as well engrave in gold, and if by some miracle you forget, well, your dear mother will make sure to remind you. She still vividly recalls how you went to school that very first day and the epic drama that unfolded.

Some cried rivers, while others practically slid their way to school on all fours. But amid these unforgettable memories, there's one that's a true gem - the schoolyard crush. It's the kind of crush that etches itself permanently in the depths of every heart, forever and ever.

Oh, the stories that surround it! Some started with the exchange of love notes, while others took a more dramatic route, involving classroom showdowns reminiscent of epic battles led by notorious one.

Think about it; the love stories of the late '90s compared to today - what a transformation! Back then, no one had mobile phones, no WhatsApp, and certainly no Facebook. In rural school setups, it was even rarer. Some eagerly anticipated the morning to have a heart-to-heart conversation before prayers, while others eagerly awaited lunchtime rendezvous. It was pure bliss.

Imagine how it felt when you first met and how your hands and feet decided to do a little impromptu dance during conversations. In that love, there were no complaints, no grievances. No drama of sulking or playing hard to get. Life just rolled on like a wheel.

Sitting in a corner of the school, engaging in a few conversations made life seem so colorful, didn't it? All around you, colors abounded. So, just keep being yourself, as simple and charming as ever.

Do reminisce about those days or, perhaps, stumble upon that forgotten school diary that used to be filled with homework and who-knows-what. Or maybe, an old notebook, and there it is, that image resurfaces.

Entering school through those gates and eagerly waiting for just a glimpse, the restlessness, the worry lines over your friends' concerns - it all added to the drama. Some wasted their entire school life in anticipation, thinking, "I’ll make sure to give it back to you."

And in that never-ending cycle, an entire academic year would pass, and despite coming out of school with flying colors, some couldn't say a word.

But when you revisit that day, a smile is all that remains on your face. Ah, what a trip down memory lane!
