Bandhaura!

I look back at the photographs,
And realize the riches I had in rags.

The party of weird-heads that we were
Strangers turned charismatic brothers that we were..

Floyd themselves blessed the envied A209..
With smoke, caffeine, togetherness and many a fine wine.

Ruminating down the memory lane through the purported exile..
Wasting time together never seemed more worthwhile.

Random wise waves in the quirky heads
Used to find their way in this 'Wisdom Book' with supposed wise threads..

And before they got to air 'The New Girl' in India..
We had a blessed-buxomy ours to oogle, in Bandhaura.

The nights would live with an indifference to the approaching sun..
And we'd all swear with Cobain on his hidden-horns-claim of not possessing a gun.

On following mornings would strike Tanya with our night-quirks twirl..
And we'd jocosely conclude that you don't confuse a confused girl.

At 4.00 PM Safaya would come by with rolling aurat and a fresh story of a screwed up foundation..
With his brows up and 'Babu..bass' he'd drag me off to our black-smoking junction.

At times, me n deepinder would floydify the air of A209..
And in perfectly harmonical indifference we'd sip our wine.

Shiva would keep adding chatting and screwing in his post-12 fantasy nation..
Together we'd create a Bitchesters' World and rule it each as #1.

Mainu overpower kar ke smooch karn di takat hor kinde ich honi..
Suron ke sartaaj..Sardar Amitveer Singh Soni :D

And whenever I'm to look for an epitome of being complacent and happy..
I'll recall the easy-smiling-perfect-hookah-&-smoke-ring-blower parth, the puppy.

There will be some evenings when I'd lay back and let unfold the velvet of Jagjit Singh's voice..
And Baba would form my company of choice..

Pankaj would still fit in perfectly..
When the pegs are to be made manipulatively.

Life has been a perpetual treasure hunt and you people form the wealth I have..
'..well I'm a lucky man to count on both the hands, the ones I love'

This separation certainly is not the end, albeit a fresh start..
Still have to show this town how to kiss the stars!
