College Life

07 April 2009 1

Am actually getting older with each passing day…within a few years, my skin’s gonna get wrinkly and my hair all white…but god knows I’ve never felt this attached to any ‘institute of learning’ in my whole life…this poem’s dedicated to my friends at Terna…


College ka woh pehla din

tha suna sa saya

Dar ki thi na koi gunjaish

fir bhi class mei na baith paya
Hui canteen mei mulaquaat

already lagi thi sabki vaat

Declare hui, list woh black

kaha agle sem mei, we'll be back!
Kardiya us ladki ko elaan

chakkar mei woh ho gayi hairaan

Boyfriend nikla senior, 2 saal

mili mujhe didi ek aur baar
Fest ke din hue the talli janab

nimbu pani samajh kar pi thi sharab

karne laga harqate badi begani

jab tak na mila ek fight, aur piya dher saara pani
Woh saal, woh din na bhule kabhi

new york, london, lower parel mei bikhre sabhi

Baatein, woh purani yaadein

koi poochein toh hum yeh batatein...
