Reunion..

I heard some voices , saw faces after a decade and a half,when I heard the “Hi” ,an uncontrollable smile popped out and the bare hug melted the years.

My mind actually spoke out at that moment, “Did we really not meet for so long?”

The feeling of anxiety sets to rest after rediscovering the lost connection.

Then one by one all old time flashes come in front of you – bunking of classes,the sandwich stall,the missal pav,the cutting chai,the canteen and the list just goes on…..

All this while in my busy life I thought I was suffering from short term memory loss like most of us feel these days ,but it was a quick realization that I am fine and memory is just doing an awesome job by keeping the old time memories intact,letting it out at the right time :-).

As I begin to pen down I really don’t know what to write and what to miss so please bear with it –

Waiting outside the college gate before the first lecture,forgetting the ID card ,finding out ways to enter.Some students were best known to be the second lecture students, who would consistently never make it for the first – reasons most commonly given are they come in groups and one surely is late everyday.Some would have calculated well in advance how many lectures would they have to attend in a term to meet the required attendance percent.Last category would work towards 95% plus attendance and their funda would be a contingency plan incase for some reason they don’t get to attend lectures in the latter term.

The fun part – friendship day,teachers day,rose day (rose queen) , did we ever have a rose king 😜,saree day,traditional day…..

The first crush, first affair, a place where hearts met, broke , everything has happened just under one roof.

Some experienced ATKT’s – it was one of the new experiences in college.

The photocopy shops flourished when the exam dates got closer – the amount of notes we would photocopy knowing very well that we would barely have the time to scan through.

One rupee coins were most valuable , in that also we could only use the new coin to call from the Public call booths 😉

We have all had our share of experiences there.

We started there and now we are here now.

Even today we carry few of these memories with us.

Let me stop here.

It’s a nostalgic moment.Eyes go moist but surely has that twinkle which brings out the smile.
