The saddest moment of my life

 Life is a package of emotions.In life,we go through many ups and downs. Sometimes we are happy while other days are gloomy.We cry,laugh,have fun,love each other,gain experiences, learn new things which is basically life.The saddest moment of my life was when my once upon a time bestfriend  wanted to get rid of me.

When I was in grade 5,there was this girl who was new to our school.She seemed strange and unapproachable so I didn't make any communication with her.After few months she started to chitchat with me and we had a normal friendly conversation.Then she told me that she lived near to my house and I came to know that there was just 5 minutes walk until I reached to her home.Years went by and we were just good friends .In grade 7, I was in the class with very few familiar faces and the only person that I was good friends with was none other than her.She invited me to sit with her and then we were benchmates.Then we became bestfriend and I really liked her,went to each other houses and we had fun together.One if the best memories that I ever had with her was we wearing saree in her house and doing ramp walk.It was just good old days that I wish to live once more in my life.As days passed she started hanging out with other friends and I didn't said anything at first but slowly she started spending less time with me and devaluated me.I felt as if she was using me for assignments.She contacted me when she needed me but gradually she used to spend most of her time with her new friends.I never had a courage to have a conversation with her but the feeling was enough.I slowly kept my distance with her and she never noticed that I walked away from her life.

According to him, schools are killing the curiousness of the students by forcing the limited knowledge of books in their mind.

The lottery
