A singing session

Just had a nice singing session with a friend while driving back home...

Made me realize that how much we as kids...in school and college ...used to enjoy the Antakshri sessions!!!

During the summer vacations ...all of us...cousins, aunts, uncles.... used to gather at my grandparents huge house in a small city near Lucknow...and sleep under the stars in the big veranda....under the colorful mosquito nets...

Divided into two groups....while the elders used to sing Mohd. Rafi, Shamshad Begum, and Lata Mangeshkar...we the kids...used to burst into the latest songs of Mithun Da's movies....making the elders cringe at the lyrics...which as compared to the lyrics of today...sound almost Victorian now!

But really the days of IPODs, FMs, MP3 Players, songs playing on the cellphone are slowly...eroding the lovely time pass of olden days...

As the saying goes, technology has its pros and cons...Its in your hand ... how much of it should you consider enough....and how many things are you prepared to give up...
