NOSTALGIA

I have been sick for a while. For a week I guess. Its been frustrating as I have been battling cycles of fever to find some sleep in a pool of sweat. I checked the temperature on the thermometer. it read 103F.
Sigh
I closed my eyes.
Suddenly, I wanted to go back. Go back to Surathkal for some reason. And I could possibly trade anything for it. I wanted to go back to room 206.For a day atleast.

Still finding it hard to accept that Chapter Surathkal is closed. I guess I'll live in this sense of nostalgia forever!
The nostalgia of :
# Sharing a smoke with Guru in my room as we watch a movie or an episode of Boston Legal
# Anand waking me up at 8 in the morning just to say "friends" and borrow toothpaste.
# Regular walk to Room 146 and 214.
# Trip to pehelwan and back 2-3 times a day
# 5-6 of us adjusting on kash's bed as we watch that '70s show or weeds.
# All of us taking K.G.B's trip as we watch his legendary video.
# Glancing into swamy's room just to find the expected- him rolling on the bed at all times of the day.
# G.B, Kalash and Akshaya Sessions. Oh, there are millions of those. Remember a couple of them
* A couple of rainy ones when kash, guru and I sat and discussed how important it was to come up with something new.
* Towards the end of the year, all of us pretty much in tears, Shanky telling us that we would be the first ones he would come to in his time of need and then he calls J.K up and pleads with him to accept us the way he does.
# Me going to sleep on Kashyap's bed on 22nd of april after he left.
# 24th April- 7:30 p.m
"Last smoke in Room 206 and I stare at the art work on the ceiling". My mind-- BLANK
