Tribute to their Versatility & Zest
They slogged for years & worked places, Life was about quarters and the year-end,
Time came to pack bags, ride into sunset, The known roads were taking a big bend !
From young 21, to retired at 60 & now 70, Creates confusion& a problem of plenty,
Memories happy and sad, follow after us, We chased time, now hours crawl slowly,
The years have revealed late blossoming, Of innate talent buried in files & folders,
Artists, painters, writers and cool singers, Emerging on new, resurgent shoulders,
Mellifluous, classical Natraj mesmerises, Grover’s renditions are so soul uplifting ,
Bhakey’s pen and his brush weave magic, Niladri’s intellect shine from his thinking,
Bada (RK)Sinha retains his zany humour, Anil ji always there with his ‘ChalteChalte’,
Mahajan ji keeps up with the cricket chats, Mahnot recalls ‘Lucknow Ke Woh Raaste’
This Group of ’77 isn’t an old man’s refuge. It’s musically vibrant, lively, witty& young,
Happy to be part of batchmates of 50 years, Who love a good joke & are always on song !
