And a youth said, “Speak to us of friendship”
Your friend is your needs answered
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanks giving
And he is your board and your fireside
- Kahlil Gibran
It is a fairytale
Untold so far…
Years ago…
There lived a cluster of birds
With smooth feathers of pattern alike
Always singing the sagas of love
They spent five years together
Five long years
But so swift
They loved thunder
Played at the farthest corners of sky
Simmering in the rhythm of joy
Those red domes of hope
Those verandhas of tranquility
Those corridors decorated with whispers & sighs
Those eternal lovers who could never finish their stories
The octagon - arena of our strategies
The labs - real battle fields
The class rooms (Oh, dear) - where we were hallucinated by
Those afternoon lectures
Like all stories
They too were destined to depart…
Some migrated to distant lands
Some sailed beyond the oceans
Many settled in God’s own country
A few of them - most loved by God
Scaled to the other side of time
Still we remember the chemistry of our friendship
Like the red litmus yielding to the overtures of alkali
We find again a new vigor and travel back to those golden days
Our first year
We remember the adolescent curiosity with which we stepped into TKMCE
- Careful and studious
- An anonymous comment shot at a new lecturer
- One or two mass cutting
- Dressing down by a senior
- Fever of class tests and epidemics of semester exams
World around us was changing...
- “Sankarabharanam” released in Grand theatre
- Coalition politics in Kerala found new equations
- Antony and others joined left
- India called back Indira
- Reagen became US president in Republican sweep
- Ian Botham continued to be the undisputed all rounder
Our second year
- We suddenly grown to colossal heights and started joining big agitations and marched to Principal’s chamber.
- Some of us became Rationals, some Radicals and all the walls suddenly turned colourful like our dreams
As usual World around us was changing
- N.N. Kakkad wrote “Saphalamee Yathra”
- Political unrest in Kerala, Casting vote by A.C Jose, President’s rule imposed
- Peak time of Bharathan , Padmarajan and Jayan
- Iran released US hostages held in Tehran
- Pope John Paul II wounded by gunman
- We purchased a B/W TV and watched Asiad inaugural function in auditorium
Our third year
- A frog in boiling jar
- Someone hung on the infinite busbar
- Our infamous agitation on class assignments
- Memories of a tour
- A College day full of colour and passion
World around us……
- Gandhi bagged Oscars
- Marquez’s magical realism won Nobel
- Paulo Rossi conquered soccer world and Kapil’s devils won the hearts
- British overcame Argentina in Falkland war
- “Parankimala” released in Prince
Our fourth year
- A dejected soldier
- Staring future
- It is jubilee time, we rejoiced and made a fountain in the library square
- Oh, it is time to depart, with a pledge to meet again
World meanwhile…..
- Karunakaran at the helm of affairs
- Operation bluestar
- Daley Thompson set Olympic record
- President Reagen re elected
Anno Domini 2008
Now we reunite after
Twenty five scorching summers
Innumerous monsoons
Winters - still and boring
And many springs which brought happiness, colour and depth to us
To reinvent that magic...
To read those poems on love and friendship
