Down the Memory Lane

Met Ol` freinds & Khyani Bakery @ Dhobitalao, Malhar time is in so need to arrange passes so we can get in the college fest, last time i entered as a journo he he he , god still did`nt give up tryin to get passes @ Malhar and the meet started niceties with usual gallis and passes in place, the conversation moved on to our old days and lo we went down the Down the memory lane .... Good old days those were .

Time when Fair and Fete during some church feast was an in thing and attending every rock show may it be I-ROCK or any college rock festival was necessary and getting invited by local freinds were more happening as we would get free food as guest , literally attending any fete all through bombay may it be at Bosco`s at Matunga or feast @ IC borivalli or at John the Baptist @ thane was a way of life for us , we the bunch of motley crew of Music and Dance freak were always there in full force giving our attendanc may it be rain or hot summer evening.

Where live band played till early morn for there used to be 3 to 4 bands playing back to back , dishing songs from Dire Striats to Eric clapton, madonna to prince from pussycat to engelbert from country music to dance number...and ending up with Goan Masala , with live band playing things were really happening , NO GOING TO DISC man our own open shows .... Aaahhhhhhh. dance floors were open to anyone who wanted to shake thier leg or 2 or 3 or 4........

See most of these fete were free initially and the additional tit bits that is did`nt pinch our pocket as the beer, whisky , rum and vodka were also pretty cheap , mixing with the thumps up or any soft drink available , as officially taking booze in the fair were prohibited and the parish priest was always on a lookout for culprit ... :-) , but over the period of time we learnt the art of smuggling lot of stuff to these show`s that were part of our upbringing.

Nostalgic that we were ,i got into the mood as usual this time without any alcohol in the system and started whisling the GOOD OL` number that i still can't off my mind as i`m writing this blog ....

We literally ended up singing the song and the uncle the counter hushing us all the time....

well i wont end the story hear cause the after math late night session turned out to be even more happening when we landed our self at Mondy`s (Cafe Mondegar) and carried our singing session at full gusto with foreinger`s joinin in too.... well this how we were and this is how we are , of lately we seldom meet , but when we do , we believe in brining the roof down , we rock guyz........
