Playing in the rain
The peace of mind
And joy of heart
I remember
first day of college \\ Aug 2003
watched "Tere naam" \\while my classmates were ragged ..haw haw
that spoiled brat
i remember
small class
32 students
6 rows 2 columns
i remember
the teddybear
the hitler
the sisters
i remember
skipping lectures
failing maths
hating teachers
i remember
the little canteen
the birthdays
the soft drinks,the pastry's
the cornettos
i remember
the lunch breaks
the fighting for my mom's maggi
sukku's lassi,Akhil's dhokla,
shilki's red-chilly achar,sheetal's sandwiches
i remember
and even the bus
Where we should have fallen in love
those fights,the "ram-ladoo's"
i remember
She wanted to say but didn't have the nerve
A half smile crosses my lips
I remember.

P.S.
It was supposed to be more
Wherever you are
There's far too much of me in there.
