For all the nostalgic people, and for all friends in my life , especially those who are characters in the article below.
"Suhanee Raat Dhal Chukee, Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge"..
Muhammed Rafi started singing from the walkman connected to a car stereo in our class. Haroon was the owner of the stuff, and the day was our farewell day from government college Malappuram. I was passing out after having completed my Pre-Degree course. The whole room was noisy, what else can you expect from a 89 member class!! Amidst the noise, four of us sat in a corner with Rafi's magical voice flowing along.. The walkman was old, and the sound coming out itself had an antique effect, still, rafi went on "Na jaane tum kab aaoge..". The song still takes me back to those colorful days, filled with creative arguments and fun. I may attempt to write about it later..
Some songs stick to our mind associated with some moments - either good or bad.
Jayesh came online and was telling about some song he heard that morning, which remained in his lips till the time he messaged. Somehow, it took me back to a day in Food Court, where jayesh and Aneesh were sitting and singing - "Chaudvin Ka Chand Ho, Ya Aaftaab Ho Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki Kasam, Lajawab Ho". That was the testing session of two cordless mikes. Again Rafi ..
"Chaahe tum kuchh na kaho maine sun liya
Ki saathi pyaar ka mujhe chun liya
Chun liya
Maine Sun liya.." - Liya Paul's favourite.. She was my room mate for quite a time during BTech, and good friend too. The basic trait we shared was extreme laziness. The song always had all the love towards George Mathew ;) (The 7-8 year old love ended up in the nuptial knot last year).
"Pehla nasha
Pehla khumaar
Naya pyaar hai naya intezaar
Kar loon main kya apna haal
Aye dil-e-bekaraar
Mere dil-e-bekaraar
Tu hi bata" .. dedicated to Liya Paul, or rather Liya George :-)
Tinky is one of the first characters whom everyone related to me knows. We became friends from the very early days of BTech, because of her humor sense and my tolerance :-D She used to dream a lot and worked for making the dreams come true too.. But there were always her crazy dreams like running around a tree with her boy friend. Unfortunately, she didn't have one - hence, the window of our hostel room became the tree and she would hang on it and around (ofcourse, alone) - "Ghum hai kisi ke pyaar mein dil subah shaam
Par tumhe likh nahin paaon main uska naam
Haaye raam, haaye ram.. "
Tinky, Rupa and me were the caroms board combination during the first year of BTech. It happened to be the caroms board combination because of our heights. Tinky, Rupa - 5 feet and me the tallest of the lot, with 5'2". Don't misunderstand that we were experts in carroms. The idea was Bobby Sir's, that with a 4th person of almost same height we would make fine legs for a carroms board. Rupa loved the song "Pal Pal dil ke paas, tum rahthe ho..", and "choo kar mere man ko, kiya tu ne kya ishaara..", which was always heard in our room during 3rd semester (though in the coming semesters it changed to some other song.. "tum dil ki dhatkan ho" - Best wishes to both of them)
"(mere nainaa saavan bhaadon
(phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa..)"
- Sojish was running behind it to know the meaning of the song. Thats how I first noticed it. Whenever I feel bad, it fills me with peace.
I am not able to find a proper conclusion for the article. It was just an outburst of nostalgia I was feeling these days. Hence I leave it this way, filled with memories and sweetness of voice. I wish I had an audio blog. :-)
Disclaimer : 1. If any of my friends felt bad that they didn't have place here, I deeply apologize in advance. Songs are never ending. This article will surely have a sequel in near future, with more nostalgic moments.
