Education isn't about mere numbers. It is a collection of memories we build when we are in school and college. My publication in this month's Spark magazine is a set of haikus on the moments that stay with us when we go through the grind to get a degree.

Teardrop emerges
Resists and finally falls off
His first day at school
“Do your homework”
A voice asserts from the kitchen
He turns on the computer
“What of the other two?”
Eager eyes scanned the ground
In hope for the lost marks
“We are very inclusive”,
Stressed the Sister. The board warned
“No Hindi in here”
“A nationwide bandh”
A newspaper flung away
A bag flung happily too
“Akshay Sunil More?”
“Present Sir”, two voices shout
The dual proxies smiled slyly
“Homo erectus”
Few giggles are heard at the back
“Boys”, sighs the teacher
The dropout remembers
With his buddies on WhatsApp
“Sigh. Those were the dayyzzzz”
