Reunion of the most notorious gang of SIMSR 02 !!

Well during my MBA days I used to hang out with guys like Chirag, Himanshu (Bhaiya), Hitesh (Hata), Mehul, Kekin, Vishal, Jimmy, Fenil, Chetan, Prashant. We were the most notorious group in college for various reasons esp. during exam for copying or getting papers or bunking classes or destroying or stealing college property, drinking and partying, we have done it all.

This Sunday I planned for a lunch with all these guys. Since I and Chetan are the only eligible bachelors left in this group, rest were invited with their family and their kids. Yes kids, I still can’t believe that after 5 years of MBA, we are at a stage to meet along with family. All of them agreed but then there are always people dropping out. Chetan said he was going to Shirdi, Jimmy and family did not turn up and Vishal/Vaishali (returned from Dubai for 10 days and had planned everything for all of us to meet them) message at 6 in morning that he would not be coming, Bhaiya/Shikha/Sneha had just shifted to Cairo a week before ,Fenil/Viral/Daskh were in Singapore and Prashat/Madhuri were in Dubai.

We met up at a place I Bandra called Sheetal Bukhara. A decent family restaurant. Mehul/Mahima/Vedant came first with Kekin/Sejal. I came along with Hitesh/Preeti/Kavya. The person who is always late and with wonderful reasons to be late, was the proud father of 2 wonderful kids Chirag/Nibha/Nitya/Sholk. It was amazing to see all of them coordinate along with their wives to manage their kids and enjoy along with the gang at the same time. None of them have changed, they are the same naught bunch but with added responsibilities of marriages and parenting. The talks are now more on diapers, kids, eating habits, marriage instead of the fights regarding Ambani-Bachchan, drinks, girls, and etc.The table was full with food instead of empty bottles. The ambience, the music was different. We ordered vegetarian food instead most us being hardcore non-veggies. It was fascinating to meet all the super moms and average dads. Now the notorious gang has kids who are more notorious then their fathers.

All of us had actually met after a very long time, almost one year or so. But that those 3 -4 hours were complete fun and looking forward to meet your kids . We missed all those who were not present in the country and our lunch was not complete without remembering you all.

Cheers mate - To more reunions !!!

I sit by the window !!

I sit by the window
Rain drops on my face
As if love sent by family & friends

I sit by the window
Feel the breeze on my face
As if someone is missing me

I sit by the window
Sensing the sunrays touch me
As if feeling her warmth by my side

I sit by the window
Cold bites my body
As if agony given by loved ones

I sit by the window
Set my eyes on the rainbow
As if I want to splash all those colors in my life

I sit by the window
Storm developing & Lightning striking at will
As if unfolding the turbulence of life

I sit by the window
Watching birds fly freely
As if describing serenity after the storm

I sit by the window
Staring at the starry night
As if each one telling me to shine as bright as thee
