As i look out of my hostel window facing the city, i cant but stop and marvel at the faraway lights..
Those lights have always marvelled me right from my college days.. i would always stare at them for hours ..
Me and my friend every day at night would go up the girls hostel terrace, where i spend 4 years of my college days... she would gaze at the sky and i would be staring at the faraway lights.. late at night... i can say till morning 3am.
I still cant figure out wat is it that fascintes me so much about them, i just become mesmerised by their sight..
now as those college years hav passed and i hav come into this corporate world, i still cant help but stand near my hostel window looking out for the lights, late into the night. I mind starts falling into the memories, the memories of the sweet lil times i had back at home and back guring my college days..
i start wondering about my friends, my stay at my room, my roommate and my best friend, my college and all the good old times that i shared with my friends..
Now here out into this big city world, i sometimes feel anonymous and lost.. i feel like a lost identity and that is the time the window and the stars come to my relief..
There were times wen i felt i shud be amongst the lights i see so often ...but then how is it possible? the lights which seem so together n which seem like one while shining are themselves so scattered.. just like our friends...each hav their own identity.. but are all one at heart..
the lights remind me of my friends ..Though i still hav a gr8 circle of friends out here... the life at my college ..the ups and downs that i had .. the friends i had... everything seems like just yesterday...
as life goes on the memories never fade...they are rooted deep inside our minds... and the faraway lights out there just make their presence felt.. even after changing places... i will still hav the my faraway lights to comfort me wenever i feel the need for my past days!!
