The Crush We Never Confessed: School Memories That Still Feel Like Yesterday..

 


There was a time when love was not spoken…

It was only felt.

Back in school days, when life was simple, hearts were innocent, and emotions were hidden behind notebooks and shy smiles.

I still remember those moments…

Not a real relationship.
Not even a conversation sometimes.
Just a silent crush.

A person we admired secretly.

We never told anyone.

Because it wasn’t love that needed to be announced…
It was a feeling that lived quietly inside us.

School crushes were different.

They weren’t about texting all day or going on dates.

They were about moments.

The moment when he entered the classroom and suddenly everything felt brighter.

The moment when our eyes searched for him without even realizing.

The moment when we pretended not to care…

But our heart knew.

Sometimes, we didn’t even talk to him.

We just watched him from far away…

Like he was a beautiful dream we were too afraid to touch.

And honestly…

That distance made it even more special.

Because in that silence, imagination became our world.

We created stories in our head.

A small smile from him felt like the happiest thing.

A glimpse of him in the corridor made our entire day.

And when school ended…

The loneliness began.

At home, in our room, with no one around…

We listened to romantic songs.

Sometimes sad ones too.

Songs that felt like they were written for him.

And in every lyric…

We found him.

We remembered his face.

His voice.

His presence.

Even if he never knew how much he mattered.

There were nights when we wondered…

Does he even notice me?

Does he ever think about me?

Or am I just a stranger in his world?

And then seasons of love came…

Valentine’s Day.

Rose Day.

All those days when couples celebrated.

And we…

We just sat with our silent feelings.

Thinking about him more than usual.

Imagining what it would feel like if he was ours.

But reality was different.

We never confessed.

We never said those words.

Because school crushes are often not meant to become something.

They are meant to remain as memories…

Soft, pure, and unspoken.

Even today, years later…

Sometimes a song, a smell, a place…

Brings back that school-time feeling.

That innocent excitement.

That painful sweetness.

And we smile…

Not because it happened.

But because we felt something so real, so deep…

Without even holding their hand.

School crushes were never about having someone…

They were about silently loving someone from afar.

And maybe…

That’s why they stay in our heart forever..

Bengali Thali – A Plate Full of Emotions, Memories, and Love..

Image
  Food in Bengal is not just about satisfying hunger. It’s an emotion, a memory, and often, a journey back in time. A proper Bengali Thali is a celebration of flavors, simplicity, and love — served together on a plate that speaks volumes without saying a word. Growing up, I was lucky enough to witness this magic not in restaurants, but in my own home. The magician? My great-grandmother. A woman with silver hair tied into a bun, a calm face, and hands that could turn the simplest ingredients into dishes that made us close our eyes in bliss. She never believed in adding too many spices. Her cooking was subtle, gentle, and soulful. A pinch of turmeric, a dash of salt, and sometimes just mustard oil with green chilies — that was all. Yet, the taste was so divine, so wholesome, that even now, nothing compares. I remember those summer afternoons when we cousins would sit cross-legged on the floor, banana leaves laid out in front of us, waiting eagerly as Didima (great-grandmother) ...

The Santa Uncle I’ll Never Forget

Image
Hey readers… I know not many people visit my blog, but if you’re here, please read this story. I’m sharing it from deep within my heart, and I hope it touches yours too. Today, I want to talk about a man from my childhood who was truly like a Santa for many kids. A Simple Gift, A Big Memory When I was in 6th standard , birthday parties were common, and we often had to buy gifts. I loved giving presents, but at that time, my family couldn’t always afford expensive ones. Sometimes, we even avoided attending parties because of this. One day, I heard about a small shop where gifts were available at cheaper prices. I went there to buy a scenery frame, which was a popular gift back then. At the counter, I saw an uncle with grey hair and a gentle smile. People were bargaining with him, yet he remained calm and patient. When he noticed me, he asked kindly: “What do you want, beta? Shall I pack it for you?” Even though the gift was already affordable, I tried bargaining like others. H...
