There is a silent

Beauty in growing old;

Far away from an untamed youth

A soft silence resonates

Whenever listening to the musical notes.


A few  old friends

Bonded with decades of-

Friendship, shared secrets

Memories, and passion for music,

Always get together

Whenever the tides 

Shift the balance-


Humming all the old songs

Whenever the ancient radio

Is in full throttle.

"Dum maro dum"

" Woh shaam mastani"

"Jis galli mein tera ghar na ho balama"

Trying to remember

Some of the missing lyrics

Adding a few of their own

Not much bother... singing together matters.


Once in a while

The spouses join the chorus

The table top, spoons, glasses 

Turns into drums, bass and guitars

Aha! the amateur

Percussionists!

La la. lala la...lala la!

Forgetting most of the words

Improvising with "ha ha ha ho ho ho!

The laughter that follows

After the faux pas is contagious.


Mashing and mixing

Adding new words to the old songs

They make music with gusto

Laughing, dancing and cracking jokes

In between the singing sessions.

The youthful zest for life has waned

The memory plays hide and seek

The bones make lots of noise....

But- they are friends forever.

What keep them young at heart!

Touchwood! A shared passion!
