BADLY MISSING...

1. …MY MOM....who used to wake me up every morning and when I used to pray for an extension of 15 minutes, she would play the Ace..”Chai taiyaar hai”..and there I was ..out of bed in a flash to brush my teeth…

2. …MY SISTER..3 years elder to me..with whom I used to discuss every girl I met or spotted in school, college or even on streets!!

3. …MY BROTHER..5 years elder to me..A father figure to me…My pillar…

4. …THE CHILLING WINTER OF GWALIOR..where the temperature used to drop to 4 degrees..and even an inner, 2 sweaters and a jacket would be a total failure in preventing grinding of teeth..(Quite unlikely Mumbai weather where the temp. seldom drops below 15 degrees!!)

5. …THE FOG… that used to cover the streets and the visibility drops to 100 mtrs!!

6. …THE SMOKE… that used to come out of my mouth and I used to pretend as if I m having cigarette!!

7. …MY CRICKETING DAYS…when I used to go for nets in stadium in full cricket gear that too in 45 degrees heat..and come back with all shades of brown and green (grass juice) on my trousers!!

8. …GINGER TEA...which I used to prepare at every odd hour of the day and sipping it all alone..Truly a stress buster for me..here is a saying among my friends that I have more tea flowing in my veins than blood…

9. …ALL MY ENGINEERING FRIENDS… with whom I have spent some unforgettable moments and had some beautiful parties and get togethers…

10. …TEA AT ARUN CHEMICALS…A road side stall of Arun bhaiya, who used to prepare such hopeless tea that we named his shop as “Arun Chemicals”!!!

11. …BUNKING OF CLASSES.. in college and just whiling away time in canteen having all stupid talks and PJ’s!!

12. …MISSING ONE OF MY DEAR FRIEND…IIT Pass out..who quit his cozy and highly paying job in Bombay to pursue IAS!!

13. …TWO OF MY GET_TOGETHERS.. at Hyderabad with my college group..when we all scratched the time from our schedules just to meet there for barely 30 hrs..Just to prove that distance cannot be an excuse or a hindrance in the way of friendship…

14. …SOMEBODY.…

15. …A FILE…which I carefully saved on my desktop last evening but which evaporated from there overnight!!

PS:(This is for Anurag aka Highwayman..)

16. Missing Anurag and his THUNDERBIRD!! ;-)
