It's all those times

It's all those times that I see them walking towards me,
It's all those times that I hug them so tight,
It's all those times when they say "Kya ho gaya isko?",
It's all those times when they say "It'll be alright".

It's all those times that I send an emotional text,
It's all those times they send one right back,
It's all those times that they say nothing at all,
It's all those times that they still get me on track.

It's all those times that I eat idlis,
It's all those times that I have sambar,
It's all those times that I watch the empty roads,
It's all those times I imagine them coming from afar.

It's all those times that I see people eating paan,
It's all those times that I watch Kung Fu Panda,
It's all those times I call 'Surviving Crooked Lake', 'Sorority Lake'
It's all those times I go by Ajanta.

It's all those times that I see paper mache,
It's all those times I think of TNT,
It's all those times I feel sleepy in class,
It's all those times I hear 'Yo'.

It's all those times I walk those roads,
It's all those times I see the empty nala top,
It's all those times I pass by the graveyard,
It's all those times I think about raddiball.

It's all those times that I can't sleep at night,
That I think about things that make my life worth living,
And I'm so overwhelmed,
I can't believe I'm so utterly blessed.

I know I'm going to make it cuz I have you guys,
I know it'll be okay cuz 'Congress ka haath janta ke saath',
I know if I trip, I have three sets of hands to catch me,
I know in spite of all the disappointments and unfulfilled wishes,
My life is everything I could wish for.

I know I have three imperfect but perfect friends,
I know I can't complain cuz I have three pillars I can lean back on,
I know I'm the luckiest girl in the world cuz where people don't have one, I have three,
I know, for people outside of D.A.S.H., this doesn't make any sense,
But even for all the wealth in the world, I wouldn't want to be anybody else.
