Gone are the days - Part # 2
Dear all, Some of these are specific to the friends circle I was in, so may sound vague and not understood. But I am sure the general atmosphere of the writing is common to many of us.
When we had Ravi Sanjay, Harun and Giri's wrestling matches outside the cycle parking
Now we have WWE/WWF Nitro , RAW etc
When we had to take the Scale beatings from Iqbal sir or Chandra Redy sir because we went to the other's tutions
Now we take beatings in Nasdaq or NYSE or BSE beacuse we enter them on the peaks
When we did James Bond proud by smuggling into Anand Theater for "Blue Lagoon" show.
Now we watch "Bluest of the Blue lagoons" on DISH, Mobile or even on the streets !
When we listened to "cricket" commentaries thru the ear phones run thru the full hands shirts.
Now ASCD (American Settled Confused Desis) call "cricket" a BORE and try to admire NFL,NBA, Super bowls etc
When all we wanted is to "Laccha" even late nights sitting on the compound walls of Prabhanjans house.
Now we donot even care to send a few lines to the good old buddies even when we see them on YM or NEtmeeting.
When we went to "Water Works" and had the greatest of times.
When we played Frech Cricket in moon light !
When we played the andhra samithi tennis ball tournament like it was the
World Cup finals.
When we emptied the water tanks on Holiday trying to create floods below
When we watched "Emanuelles" and "Carry on Series" in Shiv Ganga
When Yseen finished 2 bottles of Sauce for 1 samosa
When "So What" was recieved with blanket thunders
When "Aiyya" wacthed the nocturnal stuff of Lizards in Common room
When we had the marathon "Carrom & TT matches" till 5 AM ont he eve of exams
When we were so thrlled at winning "Shikanji" bets in a rummi game
When we had a marathon 4 day fun with Rummi sessions even using hand made card pack (out of punch cards)
When all Hari wanted to do in the afternnons was have a Nagar-Ka-tikka with Curd.
When Llyod and Pottodu conquered Mount Everest (BUS) after few good ones.
When all our exam preparations were done in "Krishna tutorials".
When we agreed to disagree to make our guy "President".
When we forced the "macho man" to donate an extra bottle of blood to win the donation race.
When the same macho man cried like hell on listening to the song from "ammma choodali" from "paapam pasivadu"
When every body wanted to rescreen the scene from "Aitbaar" and "Saagar" for the rest of the day.
When we all thought that making a vessel of Upma was kids stuff at VPR's place.
When we all had a ball-of-time on D Lawns during the historic Dharna
When we the greatest of time by lining up in the twilight Sand dunes for just a "snap"
Pauls "milky" trips to canteen, Rum adventure - Simla to Manali.
The Dhaba movies, Connought, Skylab milk shakes, fried noodles with panneer, Casattas during lunch, Rasam and papads in the mess, the parata, puri bets between Rami and YS.
Rami cleaning up all the Custard and fruit salads when every ones tummies were ready to blow up (not al qaida style)
Yseens and Llyods hard ball adventures and Yseen getting banged by none other than myself in the flood light DSqaure night match.
Kumars chucking spins, Ravi's and MSeens running between the wickets.
Thomas "Gaayab", Rambos bindaas approach to exams, Sandy;s "Aaayle" and bull style bowling grip......
Mullus sulla khan acts (as noted by Yseen)
Lachus Bee-Gees emulation - "river on"
Seshus "Lungi haran", Police's patrols and escorts upto "Ladies" hostel and
his great drunken bawl,
Sandys puking thru the locked window,
Raghu's ass getting saved from the fence after his tree-climbing expedition,
night chaiis, jilebees and samosas on the modas.
Finally the Gavaskar- Gundappa debates.. and the eager waits for letter and
"registered cover" with DDs from mom and dad.
Memories...memories...memories....
