An Evening of Reminisces

The occasion was absolutely a commonplace. People celebrate everything they can call their own,-birthdays, propose days, school days, marriage days and so on. This one was also a very common one...the celebration of a 75th birthday of a person most revered in his circles. So what made it really special? Perhaps the meeting of old friends who turned their friendships into familial relations or perhaps the reunion of their sons and daughters who do not find time to socialize with each other because of their busy lives. The evening brought back a few precious and colourful memories and concocted the otherwise commonplace evening to an evening of reminisces. The clinkings of the glasses gave away to incessant chatterings and peals of laughters. The chatterings were interspersed with songs, recitations and anecdotes. The folks bared their hearts out to each other and the merriment followed till each one bade farewell to each other. May the sounds of the evening continue to resonate the walls of the venue. May the walls continue to tell the tale of the special evening to the mechanical generations to come and sit there and talk of their mundane lives.....
