SEPIA TIMES

How many times have you felt nostalgic? So intense that there were few drops actually rolling on the cheeks. Happens?  yeah it does .... How would it feel if we can actually Slow down the Time or may be ..... Roll back the time? Sounds pretty irresistible yet unrealistic..

A recent visit to my native place Pune and I was engulfed in tides- echoing many thoughts.... wat all n wat not ? Can I again go back to those days? Kind of warp time backwards… I soo longed to have a Time Machine!

Cherished memories suddenly start going haywire...First day when I got my first ever friend in KG ... First time when I spoke to a guy ...the day when I flaunted my Scrapbook, having special lines for me therein by Someone special.... Those days when a Wada Pav used to cost us Rs 2.5.. The day all of my friends and I bunked the school and went for movie ... every first day of school when we used to get new books.. Just can’t resist going through all of them... that beautiful fragrance of newly printed books simply irresistible .. can we forget that ? naah .... School days jus pass by like that ... Jussst like that!

And then comes new life ... new horizons ... new friends ... the age of having "Crushes" ... which can't even be counted... Its like having wings .... flying high in the air ... letting life take us wherever it wants ...carefree.. the world used to revolve around friends and friends only!!  The college and university campus become your second home.. every nook and corner of the campus has unique memory.. a moment stolen and cherished deep in the folds of time. I wish at least once . I couldd again experience these times. all those smiling faces ... departing hearts ... friendly hugs ... smiling tears.. cherishing those memories..TTMM kind of parties in Low-budget but Big Hearts.....Ordering in the restaurant reading the right side of the menu card.. Aimless Bike rides on stretched Rainy roads....treks to godforsaken places.. shared feelings .... Secret crushes.. untold love…consoling friends ....

Suddenly you are awaken from the beautiful reverie.. these moments begin to get out of our hands ... like sand flowing from our hands on a sea shore .... we can just watch ... moments passing by.. simply cant do anything about it ...so we let go of it ... staring down at our own fist, realizing that life has to move on! We have to adorn new roles and shoulder new responsibilities..  But you can never get over those Sepia Times! Can you??
