Memories *Sniff*

Okay. I don't know where this sudden urge to blog more is coming from, but it's been there for quite a while now. Well since it's there, i decided to do justice to it ;P. Anyway yesterday i was introduced to a song that has left me reminiscing about the last two years. I did exactly what he said, closed my eyes, turned up the volume and imagined myself at KC.

So many memories came rushing back. It was overwhelming.
It's five thirty in the morning, we're all at kc, playing basket ball. Np, ansh, chandu,dipika,neeti,shir and me. The sun rising in the background. Fast forward a couple more days, standing in front of campus stores,laughing our asses off for some reason. Inside the block, shouting and running through the corridoors just to scare neetika. Hah. What fun! Fp..*our place* ..Innumerable walks and talks with nik...Wishing them back..Goa. The drive to arambol with the wind in our hair. Goa the second time. Sleeping in the general compartment near the door. Diwali. Being around people I love so much. My room. Chand, ansh and me sitting on my bed and laughing and bitching and laughing again. Ansh and riche nights. Shir. Sitting in neeti's room. The drunk girls night. Hilarious and too much at the same time. Divya. Being all cute and caring. All the time. Prachi and ankit. Together. Venugopal. Praying with nik. Nik. Just being with nik. Soup times. Hunger pangs. PMSing. Taking it out on your best friends. Siddharth. Reading in his room. Naera- ever smiling and just dropping in for a chat. Walking back from college talking to vipul. Hospital. Twenty-20 world cup final. Dinners with ansh and chand. The backchodi we did in the library. Being crazy after songs (not unlike right now,but still). Omg. More talks with chand and ansh. Chandu's room. Anshi's room. Nik's room. Places I've lived. Literally. Sid's place. Innumerable parties at Blue's. And the last thing I remember is all of us, the first time we went to end point..walking into the sunset...


There are so many more memories...so so many more...they came to me too...but in repetitions of the song...everything was so crystal clear..suddenly I felt like all of you were here with me. Gave me some sort of inner peace that i was looking for. Calmed me down and then made me ache for you all more. All the more. Cause I knew those times would never come back. NEVER. Things will never be the same again. NEVER. That hurt. That hurt so bad.
But I know, this was the end of a phase in a very long journey..one that will hopefully last all our lives..

'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine...

When you were here...

when you were here
the place had a different ring to it

when you were here
the sunset was romantic

when you were here
the sky was magical

when you were here
waking up meant listening to your voice

when you were here
the break meant meeting you in the hallway

when you were here
class meant texting you or playing games with you

when you were here
nights meant talking incessantly for hours

when you were here
evenings meant long walks and the sunset

when you were here
days meant studying in the lib ;P

when you were here
meals were always fought about

when you were here
it was nice to be pampered

when you were here
time was on our side

when you were here
love was in the air

when you were here
i loved you like there was no tomorrow

now you're not here
there's nothing magical about the place

now you're not here
i've suddenly lost my appetite

now you're not here
waking up or going to sleep isnt fun anymore

now you're not here
there are no magical hugs or kisses

now you're not here
the sunset is still beautiful..but sad..

now you're not here
the roads are lonely cuz we dont walk there anymore

now you're not here
the lib misses you

now you're not here
classes or break dont mean anything

now you're not here
i've forgotten what it felt to be pampered

now you're not here
i miss you

now you're not here
i still love you as much as before

Hang in there...

For reasons undefined
I sit down to make a rhyme
Thoughts running parallel with time
My hands trying hard to keep up with my mind

As I look deeper, I find
An ocean of uncertainty looking up from behind the blinds
This feeling tags with me
I'm left behind..

They say in this race
Only the best man wins
There are others who run too,you know
But they are kicked in the shins


Life is unfair, they say
People move on, but you gotta stay.
Life is unfair, I say
People moved on, but I still stay
But hey...come what may
I know there will be a day
When it's gonna be my way..

Questions...

Why is it that things that you're trying to run away from finally catch up with you at the worst moment?
Why are we embarrassed of ourselves?
Why are we all trying to be someone we are not?
Why is there no originality anymore? Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.
Why is that people you care the most for end up betraying your trust and people you think were not your friends end up coming closer?
Why do we have the need for constant affection and attention?
Why is the beauty of solitude lost on us?
Why is love so stereotyped?
Why is everything so over hyped?
Why can't people just let things be?
Why does the past catch up with you when you don't want it back?
Why is it that there are so many questions that are unanswered?

Stuck In The Head

I don't know why does this happen that a song gets stuck in your head sometimes. It happens with me a lot. I hear a song and after a while it's all I sing for a while,it's all i hear too..till my roomie gets sick of me playing the same song over and over. I remember reading it somewhere that there's some guy who has the opening music of a video game stuck in his head for some ten odd years. Imagine if you had been in that position! I mean, even though you move on to another song after a while, you always have a soft soft for the preceding song. I've recently been stuck with 'Everything' by Lifehouse..before that it was 'Fear Of The Dark' By Iron Maiden..before that 'All Good Things' By Nelly Furtado...
I don't know why this happens..but i kinda enjoy this phase. It's not just with songs..it's with places too! I'm fascinated with the rooftop of the innovation center! Going upto the sixth floor at the top of a mountain and watching the sunset has its own charm for me. Add to it blowing breeze and amazing clouds. Mind blowing. Same applies to dishes at restaurants.. If I like a certain dish somewhere, that's probably all i'll eat for a while till I get tired of eating it.
Looks like I have an OCD of "being in love" with something for a while.
Well whatever it is..I "love" it!
