BROKEN

Something's broken, shattered into pieces,
Something's gone far far away,
Something's lost much to my dismay,
It just wasn't mine whatever my heart says.

Dear to my heart, very precious it was,
very meaningful, very intense and defining.
I took me vigourously.......completely......... absolutely.
I drowned myself not resenting for a moment,
never even thinking that possibly it might end.
And end it did, faded, vanished...... leaving me famished.

It amazes me how meaningful it was, how exhilirating, how powerful!
It's a pity it just wasn't meant to be.
It's just gone, broken, shattered into pieces.

The times with Bobbin.

This one's to Shikhar Chaudhary. First of all HAPPY BUDDAY BOBBIN! I've had some crazy memories with him during the time we used to go to Kanpur Road for NTSE preparations. People who think I'm crazy should meet him. Okay where do I begin? Well, during that time, we co-invented the concept of swarg. It's what we used to call the washrooms because let's face it when you're really under pressure, it does feel like heaven. Then there were the classes that we bunked. Actually now that I think about it, we rarely stayed after lunch there. Ever tried samosas at Alambagh chauraha? They are quite good and used to be a stapled diet for us. We also used to play football with a duster. Another thing that I'll never forget is the transport that we used. The stinkiest, smelliest of the small buses that run in lucknow. It cost Rs 2/- I believe after the student concession and we were so proud to have struck a cheap deal but believe me, any person could easily choke in those vehicles.
Then there's another crazy story about the time we walked from Kanpur road to rajajipuram. A 2 hour walk in mid may with sun blazing at it's fullest absolutely for no reason. We sneaked out of one the classes and out of the school. It was a really hot day and I suggest that we should probably walk. No other person I know would ever have said yes to that. It really was hot and it made no sense to do it but we did. On our way we had our usual samosas, kheera, barf-gola(that was awesome). We also saw some pretty weird stuff which I'm not going to mention here and we finally made it to RJPM and that is the story of my favourite time with Shikhar Chaudhary.
