Yaadein hi Yaadein

Remember that feeling of wonder when you looked at an airplane fly over your head?
Remember spreading your arms and running across the open field of green, trying to chase it?
(I feel the wind in my hair...)

Remember the look of excitement on your face when mum handed you an ice candy?
Remember giving her a tight kiss after the candy and giggling over the orange mark you left behind on her cheek?
(I still feel the tight squeeze of her hug)

Remember walking hand in hand to school with your friends?
Remember holding their hand while being scolded together by the teacher for not doing homework?
(I still thank him for doing mine coz I fell ill)

Remember singing in tune to the National anthem?
Remember singing out of tune to the school hymns?
(...and to the morning prayers and every poem they taught)

Remember sharing tiffin at recess?
Remember showing off your tiffin box full of maggi?
(then crying over it when it fell down)

Remember the towel around your neck and superman in your heart?
Remember being a fireman, a tarzan and a G.I.Joe wrapped in one?
(I was batman too! :)

Remember your first crush on tv or from school?
Remember your parents going "awww..." and your friends going "hawww..."
(I still blush when I think of her)

Remember waking up for school in the morning and not noon?
Remember feeling all grown up wearing full pants to school?
(leather shoes and your first pocket money...)

Remember using ink pens because they improved handwriting?
Remember lauging over the ink blotches all over your friends face, not knowing you had more on your own?
(I yet cannot write without blotting paper)

Remember getting embarrassed when you hear a couple say "I love you" to each other?
Remember giggling over it with your friends?
(thinking of saying it to a girl at the same time)

Remember feeling proud of your first bicycle?
Remember learning to ride and you never knew when dad let go?
Remember crying over it because he did?
(then realizing you had learnt to ride a bicycle!)

Remember the joy of laughing in the rain?
Remember coming home dripping wet?
(I still do that when I can)

Woh school ki seedi woh pyaar bhari baatein
Woh syllabus ki tension woh exam ki raatein,
Canteen ki party woh b'day ki laatein,
ruthna manana woh bunk mulakate,
Library mein woh sona woh music
woh movie woh cards ki magic,
Proposal ki planning mein raat ka gujarna,
Fir class k peehche ki seat pe sona
Library mein jakar chehro ko padna
Betuki bato ko seriously lena,
Woh matlab ki batein hasi mein udana,
Na woh din hai na raate na gussa na baatein,
Agar Kuch Hai To Bas "YAADEIN HI YAADEIN"......
