Aaj phir se jeene ki tamanna hai…

...thik waise hi mausam,

kahin saare gaane,

kabhi kahin waise hi hawa,

waise hi khushboo,

phir le aati hai, un pallon ko,

aaj phir se jeene ki tamanna hai.

waise hi subah,

aur raat ki waise hi "dinner ke baad walk",

waise hi dhup,

phir wahi chandni,

phir le aati hai, un baaton ko,

aaj phir se jeene ki tamanna hai.

humara woh andaaz,

apni woh khushiyan,

waise hi kahin dekhun toh,

phir le aati hai, apna woh laundo wali baat,

aaj phir se jeene ki tamanna hai.

wahi school ki zindagi,

friday ki woh "fried rice ki bhukh",

juniors ki woh "anna wali respect",

sundays ki casual dress mein "sakht wali feelings",

waise hi kahin mehsoos karoon toh,

aaj phir se jeene ki tamanna hai...

Yenglak lo Ema…A Son's Voice (A Manipuri Poem)

Ningsingli ngasisu ema gi chandan mayek;

kaodri ngasisu ema gi hangaam thongbagi mahao;

tapna tapna houkhiba khanghoude matam;

ngarangda maali ema na koukhiba eigi ming.

Pende khallubada ema na waakhiba;

ngarangda maali ema na keithel dei hallakpado.

nungaipham khangde, pothapham khangde esa se;

ningsinglubada ema na ingsaang-napi yonba chatkhiba;

nacha singbu mi oinabagi ema gi manglan;

mimaan naba ngamnaba ema gi hotnaman;

ema gi poutak,ema gi wakhalon;

kaode ngasisu nacha singna;

Yenglak lo ema, amukta yenglak lo;

nacha sing mina ekai khumnare;

nacha sing mi oire ngasidi,

chokthadri houjiksu ema gi thouna na.

pukning nungshi, tangkak asida ema yaodaba;

eikhoi na mai pakpa ema na khangkhidaba;

yenglak o ema;

eikhoibu amukta yenglak lo.

Manglan mangfaonare ngasidi ema gi;

ningli ngasisu thamoinungda ema bu;

yenglak lo ema, leppi punna nacha sing;

amata oiri eikhoi, ema gi damak ngasisu.

A year in Manipal - made some beautiful attachments

Well, a year with u guys was so wonderful that I never realised time was running much faster than me...though we were divided into two different so called classes;EMAL and PESC ...we never felt in that way.

...Those starting days , when people getting drenched for not having an umbrella and some stealing others when they lost one (Dasa and Varun were the first victims)...

...those birthday parties, out at different places..but BIG BOSS has been the best in the town (Sushant, happy?)..maybe it was because of that 10% discount we always got...

...those teasings which were never ending one...calling out with different names...Swami (always at the top), Nairrey (pure Nair), Pandi (started wearing only formal pants), Baba (done PhD in searching names), Hello Gayatri (always busy with his android handset), Kuchipudi (who has 25% attendance for being a responsible CR), Billa bhai (G-zo CEO), Local Paapi (who sees only one girl because she is 90% similar to his fiancée), Universal Paapi (Aithal sir's favorite student), Kaamesh (doing his internship in BIG BOSS),Superstar,Liliput,Amul baby and so on...

...those semester exam's fever..for which the 'Peracetamol ' was only the nightouts..and ending up the exam just by screwing some way or the other...

So, finally the junction has come to each and everyone's path of life...

where we always say 'Forget Me Not, Keep In Touch'...but in reality...the real meaning of these words gets thinner and smaller with time..

...finally the time has come when we realize the strangeness of life where each of us is so unsure where we are destined to go...but who cares where we gets in tomorrow, right? But make sure that u always cherish the 'LOVE AND MEMORIES' attached with this rented place called MANIPAL.
