Today while M was driving me to work, the car radio started playing, “Saathiya..” from the film Saathiya released in 2002-2003…
Both of us looked at each other, our faces in a grin & daily tasks thoughts being shooed away by the days in college when this song ruled roost.
Though we went to same college, we didn’t know each other then and both of us were lost in our own threads the song brought, but bound together by the common thread of nostalgia…
For me..this song was one of the first one I had on a special customised CD (big deal when CD writers weren’t as common or cheap) , Vivek Oberoi on his bike the collective fancy of girls in our room, the movie we made our older sis pay coz we were short on cash..then again seen with gang to catch Vivek & Rani..( I seriously can’t think why we liked Vivek so much back then 
)..the song blasting on somebody’s PC while we completed or “tepoed” journals midnight before submission , the same song blasting on tea stall when I could eat 2 wada-pavs in one go and not bother about calories & BMI etc etc..in short full on reminiscing about the “summers of 2002-03″…
and then song ended and the RJ announced that he will be back after a break in “Flashback” to get some more of such forgotten but melodious songs….n grrrrr..like scratch on tape…….M & me looked at each other, snapped back into reality.
Are so we so old grown-up now that songs we identify with as youth plays on Flashback?
I’m consoling myself that the RJ didn’t get better songs to play on Flashback today..
