Shake down 1979
cool kids never have the time..
On a Live wire right up off the street
You and i should meet......
Perhaps the greatest moment of our lives is when we were free. Born free. To do just anything you like. We had wings, the wings of dreams. With which we would fly high. When sky was the limit. Then comes a moment where you have to move on. Earn a living. Get married. Have kids. Just when you realize that time is moving too fast. you listen to this music... The moments... the seconds.. when you would make rules... believing in you was at its prime... I spoke to one guy who works for GE. He had come to stockholm to manage a project... so i asked him what's the greatest moment of his life? Is it that he got into IIT? is it that he scored a jackpot? he said... he cherishes the moment when he was free... when he could do anything he wanted... and that moment was his college days... the fist love... air of fresh breath... the ordis, critis, merci's ... you name it! and the devas, the timmy, the dammanna's, the night outs... the mallu's, the gulti's the northie... masala chai... and there were days when we used to go to beaches... be it goa or malpe. Those were the moments. Those who lived it they will cherish.. the trees fluttering in the rain. The hot cup of tea and ciggarette in Devas... the sessionals.. The days when we didn't even care what was right or what was wrong...
Perhaps the greatest moment of lives are when we are Free. Born free. The moments are not spoiled yet. May be those dreams are naive. Now its time to have more logical dreams and pursue happiness within those boundries. Whatever the crap, i am damn sure we live those moments now. I did ask the same guy one more question. Do You ever miss those greatest moments of life? He said... ''I lived it!, Now its time to find another greatest moment''... the music slowly fades out. I go back to my memories again.
