Later during the day, the light of realisation shone upon me - I had chosen the life I'm living & enjoyed the little quirks it brought along - the only social life that remained was in the share-a-cab queue for a cab to Nariman Point! Haah. For once, this Monday, I felt good about the whole brouhaha they call 'articleship'!
Pichle dus mahinon mein..
(A tribute to articleship & the joys it brings!
Sing to the tune of 'Pichle saat dinon mein..' from the movie Rock On!!)
Mere blue pens ki refills, teen aadhi padhi novels
(na na – na na na, na na – na na na)
Junk food joints ke phone numbers, aur nostalgic kuch papers
(na na – na na na, na na – na na na)
Mere lunch mein green chutney ka zing,
Mere trinkets aur chandi ke rings,
Pichle dus mahinon mein maine khoya;
Kabhi boss se dhuli main, aur, kabhi colleagues ko dhoya..
(na na – na na na, na na – na na na, na na – na na na, na na – na na na)
Red sneakers aur black ghadi, pyaari thi mujhe badi
(na na – na na na, na na – na na na)
Meri denim ki jacket, tennis aur TT rackets
(na na – na na na, na na – na na na)
Do 'classic rock night' ke passes,
Mere thick-rimmed geeky waaley glasses,
Pichle dus mahinon mein maine khoya;
Kabhi coffee-powered chali main, aur, kabhi khule-aankh soya..
(na na – na na na, na na – na na na, na na – na na na, na na – na na na)
Kaise bhoolon gyaarvah jo month aaya,
CA books ko maine haath lagaya,
Kaisa din tha jis din unko maine pehli baar read kiya tha!
Woh books jo nikley study cabinet se bahar,
Maine jaana kya hai bukhaar,
Maine brains bhi khoya hope bhi khoya;
Kabhi zoron se hasaa dil, aur, kabhi phoot photo ke roya..!
Maine pichle dus mahinon mein yeh sab hai khoya..!
(yeeaaoouu..!)
Sincerely hope Farhan/Luke/Purab is reading; just like that! And yes, Rock On!! does not need my review/approval. I'm starstruck all over again, I'm crowd-surfing - only in a parallel universe! Lauuu-ed the flick!
Cheers. Keedas. Peace.
