Antarnaad

It was there again..., the long awaited event.... annual gathering; comes every year, in a new disguise… This time it was named “Infinity-2011”. But my mind drifted around the previous ones –“Antarnaad-2010” and the “Summer Zeal -2009”; the same hustle and bustle, the same anxiety, and in the end, the same sense of fulfillment. Though this time, I was only a silent spectator, I was trying to relive those golden moments… And the actual gathering day, was a climax… Along with the same feelings, I got to hear the same songs… I was totally in my own world. I could imagine Prajakta in “Chandu ke chachane…” (I know, others were there – but the cameraman caught only her actions :-) ) and visualize Richa and Chetan in place of this year’s Banasthallite and Puneite pair, on zoobi doobi . In fact the puneite here also was a Kulkarni. Instead of Anjana in Totakahini, I could see Swati revolving merrily in “khwabon ki galiyaan”, and how can I forget Nikhil, when confronted with “Pappu can’t dance sala”. 

In all, it was a good ruminating experience, which enthused me to have a short trip down the long memory lane….
