College Pleasures Old Age Treasures

Man’s life is full of pleasures since his creation but in the childhood the child cannot understand what is pleasure due to be green in education but when he crosses childhood and reaches in the middle I mean in the schools he keep in mind pleasure but on growing up the pleasures of school days and primary school days pleasure the students forget with the passage of time.

When the students get admissions in the colleges they become mature to a greater extent and their minds can store huge and cast knowledge treasures for forever. College pleasures consist of sweet and bitter memories and with the passage of time college friendship matures thus after passing different examinations the students get jobs in different departments and when they sometimes see each other they pleasures become double.

In such situation the old students sit at the tea stall of at the hotel or sit the homes and remind of old past days and talk about the days gone by and remind of their kind and cordial teachers who taught them nicely and politely and due to their kindness and hard working they have attained different status in the country and out of country. College pleasure keeps men’s heart in old age young and fresh.

Pleasure is a state of mind in which mind feels the feeling of happiness, satisfaction and enjoyment. Different people enjoy several types of pleasures in life and forget those soon falling life realities. But we cannot forget childhood and college pleasure in life till death. Those pleasures play an important role in making our character.

We enjoy childhood pleasures unconsciously buy we enjoy college life pleasures consciously due to reaching maturity. In college we enjoy canteen pleasures, class room pleasures, and trip pleasures and play ground pleasures. All remain fresh on our minds.

First we leave home for college feeling free like a bird to enjoy what we like on the way to college. Sometimes we reach college and our teacher does not come and we sometimes enjoy at canteen sitting among friends and sometimes in the college play ground.

One fine-day we left our college for a long trip for fifteen days for Murree. Really we were very happy due to having liberty of walking and talking without any hesitation. Our teachers were very kind to all of us. I have all those sweet memories on my mind that make me fresh my bitter time. On coming back the result came and I stood first in the class.

I remember the day when our college won the match. I was awarded a trophy as a team captain. I was very happy and recall those days to remove the bitter realities of life. But all sweet old days have gone leaving their sweet memories us me forever. Keeping in mind I recall these lines:

For oft, when my couch I lie

They flash upon that inward eye,

And then my heart with pleasures fills,

And dances with the daffodils,

Same is the case with me when I become sad so I recall all my sweet old memories of college life and forget the bitter realities of life for a short time. But life is full of woe and worries. We cannot live happy all times like a bird. Therefore Keats used to say:

Fade for away dissolve and quite forget,

What though among the leaves hast never known

The weariness, the fever and the fret,

Here where men sit and hear each other groan,

It is fact that college pleasures make men fresh. Now leaving college, falling in life practical realities, we come to know what is past and what is present. All friends have left one another turn by turn but their sweet memories are still with me. Now I miss my friends and say:

Make new friends but keep the old,

These are silver, those are gold.

To sum up college life taught me, something to love, something to do and something to hope for. So college life was a golden era for me but has gone for forever leaving behind sweet memories.

    • Agree with you. College life is full of memories The memories associated with college life are sweet and give pleasure whenever we think of them.

      But, it is here we learn many things. We educate outselves from the society, from sharing both happiness and sorrow. We learn from our friends. We value the value of our life and the life spent during our School days and move forward with a clear idea and determination. This is the place which gives you a clear direction. It does not mean that everybody will get this direction. But, most of the people will have a clear idea as to what is life, what is future, what is waiting for us in the future.

      We select our freinds Move with them and prefer to remain with them than with others whom we do not like or hesitate to move with.

      It is this movement that gives you a clear direction. When the college life fast approaches an end we think and discuss with our friends what we want to be and what others want to be after the studies. We choose and select and strive hard.

      Somebody make way smoothly, some with hard work and after many efforts, and some finally may not

      But, one day or other and on one occasion or other when we all meet we forget our position and start recollecting our golden days we had in our college days.

      After studying the entire situation I have planned an event called 'OLD STUDENTS MEET OF 1974 batch". All students in the college belonging the batch of 1974 who studied in the college will assemble and enjoy the meetingl. We have decided to honor our lecturers and our childhood teachers also who taught us with a devotion to the duty.
      I entrusted the work of collection of mobile numbers. About 200 numbes have been collected. I informed them all and informed the lecturers and teachers also about the date . Arranged a good function in the college itself and honored them. The event was quite successful.

      Our teachers and lecturers enjoyed it a lot Some of them were officers in the Govt, some were businessmen, some were politicians, some were professional photographers, and some were NRIs We all assembled and exchanged our numbers and discussed about arranging such meetings in the future also and DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE COLLEGE WE HAD STUDIED.
      It was the greatest pleasure in our life.

    • There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more. Read more at:

      The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.

      The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.

    • Yes it's true. college life is the best as one could say. My college days are in fact unforgettable and
      those days are one of the happy days in my life. Every student has
      those days in their life's as well.I enjoyed myself a lot
      with the extracurricular activities in school . I have learned a lot from my friends, from my classmates, and from my professors. Each time i was wrong they corrected me. They
      used to be very friendly with us. Not all are friendly, their will always be some who dislikes me, but thats a part of it. We used to have
      competitions.No matter whether we win the competition or
      not, but they used to tell us participation is very
      important. They were very supportive and encouraged us in
      all things to grow up in our life's. We used to crack jokes
      on others. We used to comment on others. We used to bunk the
      class. we used to jump the walls for second show movies. If
      we caught by sir's we led to punish. In fact I experienced.
      So, college life is so beautiful, no body can forget those
      days in their life's and those days will never be back again.

    • I am so glad that I got around collecting my classmates after years we left school. We were 33 but got around 14 of them. And this has continued. We keep having get together at different places. It is fun to reminisce.
