A Sunday evening-holiday after week long of work, a sumptuous afternoon lunch followed by a nap.
"Get up, it is 5 pm. How many times should I tell you not to sleep beyond 5..aa aa aaa " , I was woken up with my mother's usual wake up call. The dim lit room, unstinting to open my eyes, I was wondering how on earth did I lose touch of her wake up calls. I wondered even more, what we used to do at 5 PM when at IIT, who used to wake me up and that followed a long time of memories unforgettable.
I still remember the first year when we would finish classes at 5:30 pm, come to our rooms, fresh up and then take our room-mates for evening snacks. You know how kid-like we were. And by second year we would rush from the class at 5:20 so that we could avoid the mess line. "Washing hands,freshening up..what?!!?"
To our journey to final year, when our day started with evening snacks :D "the bliss of doing nothing"
The I dug some more, when the memory brought up some amazing and happening evenings. Let me take you through them :)
"The one where wing-mates swear to wake you up and not even Gods could stop them"
"Vo Nautanki vaali Kabaddi ki shaam"
"Vo pehle Birthday vaai shaam..Kyunki bhai, raat ko tho hum so jaate hain (1sy year)"
"NSS waali shaam. TOW the social work and Cute waale clothes ;)"
"The evening with the first stage dance! :)"
"Vo ek hi Tarbuz ko 12 log khaane vaali shaam"
"Vo Dance practice karne waali shaam, vo steps bhoolne vaali shaam"
"The evening with the actual stage performance, the evening of Bong Bindis,
Boy-cut Jada and Telugu thumkas"
"Vo gaming vaali shaam! "
"Khaana Banane waali shaam. The one where one cooked and 4 posed ;)"
"The evening with all the prayers! :-)"
"The KtJ evening!"
"ILLU ke rozgaari waali shaam! "
The evening of exam and power cut! "Albert Einstein waali shaam ;)"
"The evening with SF and Nautanki."
"World CUP jeetne waali shaam!"
"The one with evening snacks! "
"The one with nothing else to do a.k.a Vellapanthi vaali shaam"
"Pehle Hookah'e' waali shaam"
"Farewell dinner waali shaam!"
"Vo Good-bye waali shaam!"
No wonder evenings were this happening that life passed in splash of time. I dont remember life before Halwaa but life after was for sure, one hell of a journey...Here's to a long lasting and happening friendship ..
Grateful to all of you for being born!
Saraswati
