Coffee time.. nostalgia

We were a gang of 9 people who had just finished our induction training. For most of us, this was our first job. We always used to have coffee/tea together. These coffee breaks gave us the most needed break and it used to be a hell lot of fun! The coffee call would start by a group mail like" Anyone coming for a cup of coffee? ..."

Now after 4 years (really cant believe it's been so long) we are all at different companies/ different locations and different countries. But a recent mail reminded us of this blissful time ...and my friend Santosh (who is also a poet apart from being a software developer) wrote this poem.

I couldnt resist myself..so here goes a poem --for old times' sake!

The mails were so nice...
And such a pleasant surprise!
Ah..how many memories does this mail chain bring back!
Those lines provided a much needed break,
And left satifaction and happiness in their wake.

Memories sometimes haunt..
Sometimes they taunt..
But all said and done.
Nostalgia is indeed fun!

These mails carried with them, a wisp of past..
I felt happy-there is not much lost.
Days may pass..and we may grow old..
Then the past will unfold
In such mails
And bring back so many smiles!
