Purani jeans aur Guitar

:) we have our Alumni function today.

I wont talk long. Im excited. I think :) will get to see faces of yore, dreams of yesterday mising with the reality of today in one mesmerising evening. Ok that may be a bit of an oversell but still...

"Yeh cbm key din buht yaad aaein gey"... the words still resonate through our heads... and we think back often to those bryan adams blasting in cars cruising down sea view nights... we were nuts...

more vivid memories come flowing back... statistics final.. 3am chicken karahi at boat basin.. iftaris at cash's.. basant and ripping people off by pretending to be qualified palmists... valentines day dress code red... crabbing trips... every trip we had atleast one person fall in the dirty smelly kaemari water :) ... that was usually the highlight of the whole event...

The grad fests 99 and 2000... the graduation.. the gowns... the birthdays and the incessant birthday surprises... the midnight clock striking 12 ones that my father never understood why we had to have... "itney baray ho gaiy ho tum log. kab khatam karo gey" :)

Abu driving me to my group study sessions, to mehndis, shaadis, birthdays, concerts... My Dads the best... hes a jan... I dont know ANYONE as lucky as me... mashallah..

Term report crashes... days and days of networked computers and borrowed printers... groggy eyes and befuddled minds... the mad dash to make it to the presentation on time... the euphoric elation of walking out of one and knowing you nailed the A...

But mostly just Bryan Adams :) cinnamon singing "lets make a night" on the top of her lungs in the cafeteria... still remember our disbelief when that album came out. we refused to believe it was bryan adams.. i mean like hello!... "i wanna be.. " was a bit off the beaten track for him you know..

Going to the DHABBBAAAAAA... damn i love that place... STILL... the unda tamater... ooh la la... ooh ooh.. GOD... i want some RIGHT NOW.... Still remember the first semester... all the BBA 1 guyz telling us not to eat the Qeema Aaloo .. "the dog population is going down.. " we ate it anyway ... :)

Texas Dhabba with its awesome unda channa... the prawn biryani that could be had wayyy at the korangi pier... awesome... having breakfast at the dhabba some days... i remember we werent allowed to leave the premises once and we called the little kid over by shouting from our college walls.. which were actually quite low and he delivered our unda tamater and pirathas to us with doodh patti inside on a nice little tray ... awesome breakfast...

I remember all the ciggarette addicts used to huddle together in the winters .. lol.. passing around the little peice of rolled up tobacco like it was the panacea for all their ailments... remember when ppl ha dtheir registrations cancelled coz they got caught smoking on campus...

Remember when the store room at the back burned down thanks to these ciggy freaks :) lol... remember the Worm Club... remember the Voice and the Vice.. remember the Arms and the Man... remember the in house talent shows.. remember the antakshris in the hallways... remember cash teaching some people accounts... Remember lovers point lol... remember the stories about there being heart shaped rocks there...
Remember when personal development forced tulsi to ruuunnnn... while the rest of us stood and sniggered... remember "nobody loves me"... remember lounging around in the hallways... remember being thrown out of class... remember paper fights in the back of the clas... remember paper planes flying around in gay abandon during the session...
remember the samosas... remember the cafeteria...

remember so much... memories slowly fade... but some stand out like they'll never dull ever..
:) happy memories...
Well-lived life...

cheers all
