coll n coffee's... thats it!
striking excerpt from a chat with an old freind today. Smitha.. we were classmates till 2nd P.u... then i left college and continued with B.com by correspondence course.
She always striked us as this extremely vivacious person at first sight who was a little hard to digest when she started opening up, but fun nevertheless..
I was thrown into a brief flashback of the coll days... Smitha the spunky chick dashing her kinetic against the people in the parking lot.. Kunal..kushubu the eternal couple; akshay my "very good friend" back then.. and the drive of us all dalpath thinking now his name prolly meant the way of the mob..! Morning to college and immediatly afterwards one of the many people assembled-in-parking-lot-bunked-coll-again says "Which place for coffee today??" a knowing grin.. Coffee day, The bombay store.. since that was the "New Coffee place" at that time.. we'd go and gossip and drink coffee and get into some pointless argument and drink more coffee afterwards.. i dont really miss those days because i kinda grew out of it in a preferential way at some point.. one of the main reasons though was the onset of my first Panic attack.. just another day, sitting in just another coffee shop.. but the day was different because i had more coffees than usual (*8 cups in all!!) and by the time i got to my place i was in a wierd state.. a state in which i didn't really know what was happening nor why it happened!!.. Lessons learnt and coffee quitted for the next 8 months from then at the behest of my shrink.
almost 4 years later..
What struck me was the whole 'College scene' hadn't really changed for them.. I had a whirlwind journey these years.. out of coll pursuing Fashion and other courses side by side.. Living it large.. really very large.. Didnt expect them to actually change but the non-change did strike something unexpected.. As if there was some astronomical void which developed over the years
From the times that were to now.. Smitha is someone who i still keep meeting while we're at some traffic junction or the other.. (incidentally, the only places we happen to see each other!) Kunal/khushbu i figure they're still seeing each other with all the love of the world filled in their hearts.. Akshay forgiven him for all the shitty times, though can nevr really ever talk to him the way we used to before.. small resentment still remains for reasons obvious.. Dalpath the driving force is more a one-man contentment to himself when i last met him a few months back.. not that he was lonely.. he just enjoyed his company more maybe..
I took to multi-tasking channeling my energy into a heady mix of contradictions.. working/designing for my dad at our stores, in my Final year b.com correspondence course (in which i go to college four months in a year) which i haven't really found the time to attend to, reading, writing, and doing all my art and artistic concepts usually by nights over a nice spliff mayb.. coffee still remains an undeniable part.. and evenings in open-air coffee shops is quite relaxing too!
