"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words to it."
When we were lost or we were breaking apart, pratha always had the same idea. "Let's sing!" She used to say and that's how this came into existence.
I remember Sunday mornings where we used to sit in front of the baker or the swings and sing songs.
Beautiful people connected with our hearts in so many ways that every lyric of it is engraved in our heart with golden lettering.
I remember Naomi flexing that she could sing and pratha trying to mock her. The smiles and the laughter is what I miss. Not being able to sing with you is what I miss. Having fun is what I miss. Being us is what I miss.
Behind screens there is a world unknown to us but till we are holding hands and singing the same songs over and over we have the power to overcome anything and anybody.
The singing songs started as a way to show out talents and then became a way of how we expressed ourselves. I remember us singing at the top of our lungs under the boiling water in the shower.
Memories of the beautiful days ebbed in each lyric.
From one song, we went to 2 to 3 to 4 and now there are so many songs that I could dedicate an entire playlist to us. Those were the days when we sat in a circle in the box room with a song diary in my hand and sang to our heart's content.
Don't tell me sakhiyan doesn't bring a smile to your face. Songs, songs. Theses are the smallest of things that bring us together.
I hadn't ever imagined that all 7 of us could agree on one thing but now it's different. Songs bring us together. Songs tear us apart. Songs are a part of that crazy glue that bind us in an undying love.
Lyrics to heart,
Lyrics to mind.
Lyrics to happiness,
Lyrics to bind.
We are all so different
but so alike.
We are All beautiful people,
but of different kinds.
