Puraani Jeans aur Guitar...

Those were the days back in my sophomore year, when Piyush Hari sang on the tune of my Puraani Jeans and Guitar. Now a proud owner of the Yamaha Accoustic, nostalgia got onto me when I found the lyrics of the same song while fishing for my old guitar notes in my wardrobe drawers. I miss those four wonderful years of my life back at Roorkee. :)

Puraani Jeans aur Guitar

Puraani Jeans aur Guitar
Cautley ki woh chhath, Sarojini ka pyaar.
Woh Raaton ko jaagna
subah late uthna, uff department hai far.

Woh mere yaaron ka proxy lagaana
woh karna breakfast in the Alpahaar
Pahunchna class hamesha late
woh karna entry from the back gate
woh lecture mein tut topana
woh baithna back bench pe with my classmates.

Woh class bunk karke CC jaana
woh karna planning for the next date.

Bus yaadein, yaadein, yaadein reh jaati hain
kuch baatein, raatein, laatein yaad aati hain
bus yaaaadeinn.......

Woh proctor ka daantna
woh banna UOR ka IITR
woh khaali sadko pe toolna
woh jaana BusT roz baar baar

Woh dil mein sochna unko bata dein
apne iraade aur dil ka haal
Ladakpan ka woh pehla pyaar
woh likhna hathon per A + R
woh sapno mein unko dekhna
woh karna message unko baar baar

Woh dena birthday pe Jewels mein chapo
woh lena doston se paise udhaar.

Bus yaadein, yaadein, yaadein reh jaati hain
kuch baatein, raatein, laatein yaad aati hain
bus yaaaadeinn.......

Aisa yaadon ka mausam chala
bhoolta hi nahin dil mera
kahan meri jeans aur guitar
Cautley ki woh chhath, Sarojini ka pyaar
woh music sec, woh senate steps
woh auditorium, woh LBS.

Bus yaadein, yaadein, yaadein reh jaati hain
kuch baatein, raatein, laatein yaad aati hain
bus yaaaadeinn.......
