Woh din…

Finally my first Blog! Been planning this since loooooong actually… but never quite had the time to do this (I am in my office right now ).  Anyways, there was a plethora of events that lead to this blog.. but I will skip those for later and only state the final nudge.

I was going through Jassi’s blog and I was instantly transported to those merry days of college. Many of my close college friends have recently parted from me after 4 years of joyfully living together. Hence off late I have been missing them (despite not really being alone… infact quite the contrary). Having spent so much of time with them for so many years, I think college friends become more of a habit.

To wake up in the morning at the shout of one of them, “Uth ja <adjective>, class miss ho jaayegi <profs common name> ki“, sitting with them throughout the day, staying up late in the night talking of absolutely arbit/senseless/sometimes sensible/important/philosophical things in life, enjoying festivities with them, listening to rock at any time of the day/year.. I am beginning to miss all that much more than I missed home when I first went to hostel (or maybe I have forgotten that.. don’t remember). But those days shall never return in my life. Woh weekdays pe 12 baje uthna, DP’s mein khud hosh mein reh ke auron ko peelana, Inder ke kamre mein balcony se jhankna (Yo Jassi/Keede!), Holi pe colgate smile aur phati baniyan ka pradarshan, Diwali pe kamre ki safayi, raaton ko jaag ke headbanging/movies/serials dekhna, endsem mein halat tight hona, Seniors se funde lena, juniors ko funde dena , woh first year mein manthan ka enthu, aur fir hag dena, Ponker ke khatte jhelna, keede ki maarna, group study karna, Hostel band ke saath gaane bajana, the R-squad and its conquests, Techniche/Alcher pe raaton ki mehnat.. all these moments are forever etched into my mind now and shall never go away.

Guys, whoever stumbles upon this blog and manages to read it.. I hope we always stay in touch despite the distances that may separate us. Wish you all the very best in your professional lives.
