DCE....the best days of my life..How about reliving them?

A few lines from my favourite (famous: will be a suiting hyperbole) self-composed poem sums it all:
Times have changed with my friends not around,
Friends closer to them can never be found.
Still, whenever I have time; I dont waste in vain,
Infact, i prefer to walk down my memory lane.

It is very human to walk down the memory lane. Infact, I am sure most of us prefer remembering their salad days; especially the college days. The best part of those awesome four years of life is the psyche....neither are we too childish nor are we mature heads, helping us gel a lot more.
I am very pained (infact envious) thinking about College. Those night outs, bunking lectures, jam sessions in the hostel, all night gossips (GC), indoor cricket, PC movie screening at 2 in the night, maggi and chai from Baba's shop, solitary walk on the lonely roads, missed call-missed call game all night, blind copying the assignments, eating the lunch of the dayscholars, dances in the rain, DP on the hostel roof-tops, darest and the silliest Dares (Karan, Singh and Gupta remember the BMH roof), turning lectures into a comedy shows (remember 'Raja' Sir), well the list never ends. Everything has been so much fun.

Everything was easy, most of the things went the way we wanted them to be. Still, everyone would agree having some heated arguments with others. But I think, that has led to some sweet rememberances to all. Try recalling an argument with anybody; I am sure most of us will smile thinking on the cause/reactions/outcomes of such alterations.

But now things have changed. Most of us have started believing that the college life was just a phase, which has passed. There are other things in life including office, responsibilities, PG, and what not. Definitely, these responsibilities have changed our outlook to life. But shouldn't we try celebrating just a day in 6-months (or one year) together. That will keep us bonded together, somewhat closer to the relationship we shared in college; and more importantly we will feel good.

The friends made in the college are never to be found again. Most of the friends later in life would be too mature to befriend the real me. In the rarest thoughts, we all should admit to caring for each other.

Meeting each other can be real fun especially after 4-6 months. But we are deterred by the distances one has to cover to meet at Priya(fine...no more meets here) or CP. And also, "I had a problem with him" or " Disturbing attitude oozes through him" or" She is not my types" thoughts cross our minds unempteen times. But are these thoughts worth crossing our minds?

Why don't we all gather up to celebrate the birthday of any of our classmates? why don't we just gather for no cause? Why don't we just party dutching the expenses? A new phase of our life awaits us with new offerings, we should not let that pass as just a phase with "After college, before marriage" tag; with nothing much to cherish about.

We can make this phase of our lives equally interesting, provided we shun the basic Shell deterring our souls from meeting each other without any cause.
