College Gana

11 years back, when I was in school, I used to board a PTC(Public Transport Corporation)bus from a bus stop close to my home to school and this bus passes via a Men's college.

I get down in a bus stop which is few stops before the college's bus stop. Our school's starting hours and that of the college used to be the same. When ever I board the bus there used to be a group of 10 college students who make noice, sing songs especially "Gana songs"(famously Known as fast songs) and their instrument was the sides of the bus and they drum it through out their journey. I used to get irritated and think that they are job less and are doing such acts to attract girls. As I was a typical girl's school student who used to think that those who sing in bus are'bad boys'.

Then after three years, when I was doing my MA,the bus in which I used to travel was also going via a Men's college. Here again the 'Gana' songs continued, these men change the movie songs lyrics to their own and composed a brand new one. This was absolutly funny and I used to laugh through my jounery from home to college as I board the bus from the first stop to the last.

Then after completing my MA, when I started to work, till I got married I was not a frequent visitor of public bus. A few days back, when I was travelling in a bus to my work place, a group of students from some college were drumming the sides of the bus and were singing the'Gana Song'. Now I was really enjoying it, It rewinded my pleasent memories of my school and college days and of course the legacy of 'Gana' songs continues.
