Nostalgia...

Nostalgia is an addiction…

… because I am slowly learning what real life is all about!

… because now I have accepted that movies are too easy to be real!

… because my friends are in different cities now and all of them are feeling just as lonely!

… because Goan nostalgia will always be about unrestricted, unparalleled bliss!

… because maybe I didn’t make the most of my college time!

… because I have more friends than ‘contacts’!

… because even now, we meet up to laugh about our stupidity and never talk about our careers!

… because girls are still a distant dream for most of us, yet we keep encouraging each other!

… because our concerns were more about NC menu than morning tuts!

… because everyone of us is now in control of their life, despite being so-called engineers!

… because we value our dark companionship all the more now!

… because we fell asleep in lectures together and got insulted by scholarly professors!

… because we successfully inter-polated the safe zone between an E and a D right before any exam!

… because we never gave competition to each other, unless it’s an evening in Velino!

… because we walked aimlessly and still ended up at Jacinto island!

… because we faced accidents at dangerous turns by standing on a bike!

… because we swore to educate an under-privileged kid in a fit of righteousness!

… because we took elections and hostel matches seriously enough to paint the ground red!

… because we went to Vasco just to look at a bakery-girl and try to woo her!

… because we are not engineers, but ‘gadhas’ who got caught in the bathroom with at least 3 others!

… because we did not care and we did not need to!

… because that old balcony will forever echo our excited yells during the girls’ marathon!

… because we had the best of all, with the best of people and the best of places!

… because it’s too damn hard to move on and make such memories with strangers!
