Traveling Down To The Past

Google photos, reviewing a folder in the lappy

Are just random things.

These things lift you up

And drop you down

Somewhere where you lose your mind

Lost senses

Faster heartbeats

A replay of placards of moments.

The day I joined CAC

And the moment I stepped out of it

The journey of four years

Plays in front like a movie.

Those days of being panicked juniors

To a day of being the most senior.

The last bench gossip

Bunking morning classes just to sleep

Last night exam preparation

Kooky dance in hostel mega and picnic

Ultra involvement in college functions.

The teary-eyed face

When you get scolded by a senior

And the great sense of achievement

When you scold your juniors.

A much-planned trip to Ghanteswari

And an outlined Sambalpur visit.

Surrounded by crazy friends

The heart turns nutty.

Flash of all these

And an unnoticed smile

With teardrops running down the cheeks.

The heart beats faster again

With the memories that make life redolent

The saga of love and madness

When I travel down the memory lane.
