A Whole New Song-

A whole new song!





Those voices seventeen...

I hear them still,

ringing & throbbing the corridoors

at will,



Internships in newspapers & editorials,

Sunny Thomas & Aggarwal Sir's wasted tutorials,..

Those bunked classes..

those champagne dreams...



Chapal & Sugato's roaring screams..



Nishtha Gupta & Shivangi Yadav..

Chhavi Bajaj wanted to top each year.....

those "Express" sisters...Anindita & Anuradha...

Maumita Bakshi ,

Ambica Sharma & Devraj Moitra...

Gopal Kashik never attended classes...

he was busy chasing some lovely lasses.....



Where did those funny voices go...I wonder......

O why did we ever grow up so soon..

O battlefield of Life...

only yesterday..

this used to be ..my playroom..



Those footpath plans..

those early crushes...

those (supposed) pairs...(never worked out..)...



those adrenalin rushes...



Those ego hassles..

those mystic dreams....

those stolen notes..

exams will never end it seemed...



Those career plans...

those vacillations...

those permutations & combinations...



Those byline chases..

those 3rd year projects..

O those 3 years..

that one never forgets...



Where are my 16 friends I search???

where are those years that gave me wings & birth...

Where are those friends who could not wait to be together after classes?

All got lost in trying to make some sense of life..

and ended up..making money instead...



Meet soon we must..

coz life is long..

and this time..

I want to write & sing together..



A Whole New Song!!!....
