A Lifetime I Cherish!!

Q: Ever thought why I decided 2 name my blog "A Lifetym I Cherish!!" ??
A: Well, because its my blog!! I can keep any damn name i wan2.. U shouldn't have a problem?? It has been a cherishable lifetym..It surely has!! If someone ever asks me whether I want to go back in time n relive those glorious moments I am about to share in the upcoming pages, I would reply in the negative. Not because I dont want to relive them.. Nah.. I wish I could.. But because I havent really lived enough of those moments.. I could relive them only if I had lived enough of them..
This webpage is about me.. My tryst with life.. This is about those glorious 12 years gone by at Xavier's- those March Pasts, those 40 minute classes, the assembly, the basketball court, those class parties, the Himalayan treks, the ball dances, the 1st kiss dat fell thru for lack of...well later, those Diwali explosions, Anjan sir, commerce section, GT party, the glorious fete, Bharra ke gunde, the farewell, guys in suits n saree clad girls with those bare and sexy midriffs and the instant hard on it gave us all, the boards that somehow happened n those gallons of tears that still threaten to invade wen I write all this for its sheer glory.....
And thats not just all.. This is about these past 3 years gone by, like a flash of lightening. The past 3 years at Ramjas n more so The College Hostel- those 1st day blues, ragging that never really took off, initial euphoria on hearing about a common hostel for men and women, the 1st election, the night at India Gate, learning to hate a clan of people called jats and then unlearning it, the editorship of the dept. magazine, extracting question papers from teachers and becoming macho in class, bullying day scholars, Jatta ka Chora song, the red coloured lacy bra size 38D, contempt for ECA, girls girls n more girls all around, the elusive 1st love that happened n unhappened and the change in thought process it brought about, the mess committee, the Random plan that landed us in Vaishno Devi while Delhi struggled with multiple blasts, being invited by the Vice-President of India for tea, Clash of Titans-my walk to glory, magazine, Manju Gupta escapades......
There are so many things I want to write down.. I can name everything at the drop of a hat but a common exclaimation for all of these together would be "A Lifetime I Cherish".. n I surely do!!
Cheers to all those good times!! n loads of fun about to follow.. Vivek is back, so are the memories!!
