Sombre and subdued,
they looked back,
the sparkling eyes brimming,
with tears of joy.

The crazy gang of High School,
seated on a time machine,
moved front and forth ,
as they flew over the Western Ghats,

moved front and forth ,
as they flew over the Western Ghats,
to be transported ,
to an era retro,
coz ! it was a promise ,
they had vowed to keep.

Lost in commitments now ,
forgotten they had not ,
the path that lead to school ,
and friends who crossed their path.

It's three and a quarter decades,
since girls sang the anthem last ,
Overwhelmed by love not lost,
the past resurfaced all over again.

Bygone days all pervading ,
in thoughts and in action ,
it was nostalgia raining ,
on the Goan shores...

Drenched in memory showers ,
pretty women woke up to sunrise ,
took a stroll on the Condolim sands,
and headed straight to school.

Chirpy maidens in white,
shirts,stoles and pleated skirts,
with oiled braids tailed,
underwent a metamorphosis....

Stunningly beautiful women ,
who caught each other's eyes ,
reached the retro destination ,
Resorts " O " as per schedule.

Girls who defied age ,
woken up not from slumber ,
had awakened to friendship ,
many many eons ago.....

Childhood pals christened ,
now as Lotus Buddies ,
hugged each other tight ,
and old ties were renewed....

The years had passed,
silently with their knowledge.
Three hundred full moons,
sighted and counting,
silently with their knowledge.
Three hundred full moons,
sighted and counting,
leaving eighteen thousand ,
dawns and dusks behind,
the girls had promised,
to reunite.........
