Return to innocence

Enigma's Return to innnocence is actually pretty much return to innocence for me. Listening to this song late late into night sitting on the iron footsteps of Soumik's house talking about crazy stuff..mostly girls.

106.2 AIR FM was the companion till early hours of morning. Beautiful numbers used to be played from this radio station then and I guess even now, basis what I heard briefly during my last visit to India. Anyways, Enigma,GnR and many more led us through so many nights that we spent in CR Park. Giving crank calls at 1 A.M to random numbers was a must..thats what infatuation with a new landline connection can do to you.

The nights were even more special during the much awaited Durga Puja festivities. What uttery blissful days those were. Getting hold of a bike was such a major achievment. Dressed to kill..or so you would think, trying every bit to be a bengali, a part of the crowd that was so high on adrenalin during the Puja nights.

Not that anything significant was ever accomplished by us even during those puja days, the excitement alone I guess was worth the entire effort. The return trip home on 864 used to be so depressing.

I guess this is what innocence is all about. Wish there could be a real life return to innocence
