SINGING TILL THE SUN GOES DOWN 🎤🎶

In answer to a special request of an old college friend, I’ve decided to write about some amazingly cute guys I used to know in college. Most of them were short and small in stature but were exceptionally talented when it came to music.

They were absolute wit personified and they had humour flowing thru’ their veins instead of blood. They knew just when to say the right words that would send everyone in the canteen foyer at Xaviers into splits of laughter. Every time they opened their mouths to speak, it would bring a smile to every face around them.😊

I’ve spent hours listening to this merry gang singing away harmoniously. From a strictly all-boy click in the JC, this little singing group graduated to co-existing with members of the fairer sex, in the Degree college. This great turn of events happened, when they realized that they were fast running out of good talent, and as always, they had to turn to the girls in the college, for assistance.😂

Of course, another reason for this major change, (and the reason that these guys are more likely to agree with), was that they couldn’t bear the pestering any longer. The girls had been bugging them for ages, to form a singing group that would consist of both guys and girls; and so these fellows, since there were so nice and cute, finally gave in.😄

It’s been a while now since we all stepped out of the canteen foyer, the Woods, the college hall, the arches, the old staircases, the hostel steps and every other ‘kopcha’ in college where you would often find these gifted guys practicing away. Thinking about it, makes me very nostalgic. 

I don’t know how Xaviers is faring these days in the singing department, when it comes to inter-college events; but I remember that when my awesome friends were around, they did not let a single Inter-Collegiate Trophy for Singing, slip away. They were so amazing, that every Judge who ever saw them performing, was completely fascinated with their talent; and being as cute and lively as they were, most often, they had the entire audience in every auditorium, eating right out of their hands.✨️🎶

When I think of my days in Xaviers, I have many 'Happy Memories' to choose from; but I guess one thing I’ll always be thankful for, will be the fact, that I met these guys in college. They filled my days with sunshine, their harmonious singing often left me spellbound, their witty remarks and crazy antics, are simply unforgettable.😊

Guys, I know most of you have gone your separate ways now. While some of you, are still in Bombay, there are a few of you, who have moved to different parts of the world. Wherever you are though, please continue Singing, because all of you have a Talent and a Gift, that is simply amazing. So, although the group you sing with may change, just Keep Singing.🎤🎶
