H.A.P.P.Y D.A.Y.S


"8866"::R u drunk..u sounding high.
"8818":Buddy these days I dont need alcohol to be high.Memories are enuf!!

I dont know how the above lines sound here..but it meant a lot to me on a day when everything seemed to be intoxicated by nostalgia, muddled by emotions,captivated by friendship and above all stimulated by that galvanised feeling of belongingness..

There are times when U talk to people and U just like to listen to them because this time its not that usual "U r the baap" talks but something nurtured by the bond of being together for some great moments...The talks more a like revolve around "I am happy I was there" or "I wish we create those magic moments again"...

There are certain things U always feel but not mention..But when U speak them out U feel good...That sense of relief..

There are certain times U wanna cry..Cry over trivial things..Cry over petty songs or cry over simple reminiscences which makes U relate to certain happy past and then u start linking......links continue and continue..and U dont want that chain that to end...But they say certain reactions are ephemeral!!!

Lives do change(and change it must) and U cant just sit and u cant just plainly live the tough life ahead thru those memories..They come handy when U feel alone and bogged down....It feels great to read thru those "I will always remember .." moments but life has to advance...U got to reach a stage where people are curious what went into making of U...

THOSE HAPPY DAYS.
