Down the Memory Lane

Listening to: Hamsafar by Hadiqa Kiyani.

This song always reminds me about my very early days at GC Lahore in October 1997. As such there are no particular memories but it is all about the 'time and space' that i am missing now! My bi-seater room on first floor, A small circular lawn in the center of hostel, A weak & old kite with it's one broken wing - that used to live in the lawn under a concrete bench and was fed by baba ji- the gate keeper, The very particular aroma of white flowers, Wet and cold winter nights, Maroon color
tea-mugs with a college logo printed on them in golden color, Tea with it's specific iila'echy flavor, Mouth watering mess menu, Hostel library, Waiting for Tuc Shop to open in the enevings from 4 to 5 and then again from 8 to 9 pm after dinner - had a certain charm in it, Walks to Anarkali after dinner - accompanied by Badar, Naqi, Noman and Rizwan, Study period from 9 to 11 pm - in which we were supposed to be at our study tables and in that SP i always read novels, Smoking in rooms, Late night discussions on Mantoo kay afsanay and what not and what not! And oh i forgot to mention about my 'Always On' pocket size radio - it was a time when FM100 was the only king in the music industry! Bunking classes and rushing to Bukhari Auditorium to attend debating competitions - And I used to go there to listen the speeches of Aadiyah Quyum - such an enchantingly beautiful babe she was, with a unique debating style as well, deserves a mention! :) Choosing/Revising niks of students and teachers, Cheating of Assignments (yeah that is very imp to make a good assgmnt.), Using 'Way Up' to come down from floor 'One' to ground floor in main college building, suggestions for College Weekly Gazette, Music society, Annual dinners, Golden nights and the list goes on..............!

That was indeed a best part of my life!
