total recall

all of a sudden, i was back in 1991 last evening. couldn't believe my eyes, staring into an equally bewildered pair of eyes. "ash!" "subodh!" "ash is that you?" "subodh, you?"...wow, it was one of my best friends emerging from the pages of an old book. and like good old friends do when they meet after 16 years, we went to booze. it was the first time we boozed together. the last time we met, we were chai drinkers.

old stories and memories surfaced, and it was then that i realised i used have so much fun those days. not that i have given up having fun, it's just that those days we would enjoy moments which qualifies as insignificant today.

writing songs for a new girl in the area; having chai in tapris, talking about why education makes no sense; exchanging music (in cassettes); tearing jeans; writing a new song for a newer girl in town...and life was beautiful. it's been a while since i've done any of these! sigh!
