Reminiscence

I don’t know if this occurs to everyone, but for some reason I feel it does to me. Now I am quite sure that you guys must be scratching your head to figure out what I just said…okay so let me make this simple. There are few things that crave me to go back in past. Things that remind me of my college days, annual functions that were more important than our final exams as the preparations for that would start a month in advance, all the classes that we used to bunk and then later approach the lecturers when our attendance becomes short or all those trivial fights that we used to have at hostel on some weird issues. All that seems so much beautiful and I feel helpless for not been able to experience that again.


So here’s the reason for this misery. I recently got a good collection of Punjabi songs from my cousin, and one of the songs in that list really reminded me of my old college days. Just to tell you this, I did my Engineering from Punjab, although I am based in Haryana. So this particular song just reminded me of the true flavor of Punjab after long time and I must admit that after hearing that song I really had an urge to go back to my old days to experience the real place. Just for those who keep following Punjabi songs, here’s the name of this song that I am talking about. The song name is “Kaniyaan” meaning rain drops, and its sung by “Preet Brar” and “Miss Pooja”.


I remember a similar such experience when i had joined my college. The first time i entered the college hostel building, I noticed some guys dancing to the tune of “chadigarh kare Aashquie” That was a moment of joyous and I felt like getting involved with them and share the same joy which they had at that time. It was a real treat for a Haryana boy experiencing the true Punjabi flavour for the first time. :D


I know that sounds lil stupid or may be a bit crazy, but I have this flair for dance since childhood.


And for the time being, I am now concentrating on improving my dance skills (in gen. bhangra) for I am waiting for the ‘D’ day when my elder brother is going to tie the nuptial knot. As of now, I am trying to download some dance video’s from youtube just to explore some good bhangra steps and guess what none seem to have worked so far. :D
