Memory off Old Delhi Railway Station

(from an old scrap I found in an old diary from the old days. And it had faithfully recorded conversations of a bright-eyed group...and hope...and madness)

-Ah!There you are!
-Oh hell-O
I was looking around for you!
-Hello

-Thank you, thank you very much.
-This is for you.

-Yeah!

-Eleven
-I've brought you something
-A poem?
-Well yes!
-Where's the ca mera?
-In my bag
-Shall we have a photograph?
