NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
My friend Kashyap messaged me the other day,
Love lasts for ever and ever,
Just that the partner keeps changing!
This message struck many thoughts into my head. Although, it was a hilarious message but it took a serious note into my brains. It was then that I went into my flashback to have a look at what lasted with me from the past 18 years and what didn’t!
What lasted with me till date are my parents, my siblings and my immediate family. Although we had our own ups and downs, good and bad times… but they were always there and will always be there for me. Next, thinking about school, it lasted for just 12 years and trust me, they were the best days of my life (Bryan Adams’ “Summer of 69” just flashes through my head now). When I was in school, I longed to wear casual clothes and go to college. I wanted to be a part of my family discussions and now when I am in first year Degree College, I long to wear that school uniform. I wish to be a kid again. I enjoy my brothers’ schooling experiences and try to live my school through it. Amongst all the so-called best friends I had at school, not even a couple of them can be called my best buddies today. Probably because of we, falling into different streams and getting busy with our own lives, it became a little tough to stay in touch. My best junior college buddy as well isn’t in touch. Isn’t it just some months since I left junior college?
Going on to the other friends I had outside college, more or less even they lost touch (except a couple of them of course) and here I am, simply myself- always accepting new friends with the hope of having a long lasting friendship with them or welcoming my lost long old buddies with a big hug! I changed my residence as well, so even that didn’t stay on for long. I myself kept changing physically, psychologically and emotionally. So, unfortunately, I couldn’t even hold back to myself. All these things just lead to one conclusion, “Nothing lasts forever!”
Isn’t this true… You and me are mere bodies with a beautiful soul. The body may not last forever, but the memories that one shares with the loved ones are something that will surely be till eternity. I remember the way we played basketball at school and walked that long lane checking out all the guys during our walk towards tuitions. In my junior college, I remember sitting along bandstand and having ‘Makka’ with my college buddies. With others, I remember the innocent remarks by my cousins, the ‘lame’ English my grandmum spoke, the count my great grandpa taught me and my sis, the coffee shop meets with my other friends and lots more. But these are mere memories now, they no longer exist nor can they be relived practically. Thus, now whenever I live any situation with my friend or anyone for that matter, I make sure I capture in every moment we spent together so that I can relive it yet again if I get such messages, since I am very sure that not everyone I interact with today shall stay with me for long. But all that I hope is to keep whatever I possess or possessed, be it my friends, relatives or even materialistic things; stay with me forever and ever and also that I can do justice to all of them.
What a coincidence, this flick is showing up on my cable called ‘Yaadein’ and the song that is playing along just doesn’t allow me to continue this post any further. It goes like—
Nagme hain, kisse hai, shikwe hai, baatein hai.
Baatein bhool jaati hai, yaadein yaad aati hai!
Yeh yaadein, isi dilo jaanam ke
Chale jaane ke baad aati hai!
Duniya mein aana, duniya se jaana,
Aao to le aana, jao to de jaana.
Yaadien…
