Losing my marbles

When it comes to childhood memories, not even a wink is required to recall them. Any person for that matter will roll back to the past, musing over the pleasantries of the early days. Most of these memories come from schooling. Unlike the present-day schools, we use to have a lot of free space. A part of the school building was a well-maintained garden with beautiful colourful crotons and flower plants, the rest of it was reserved for prayer assembly in the morning and later in the day, a play yard for children.
