Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Note: This article was finally completed in early 2003 while I was on a visit to Churachandpur and was carried in Muolvaiphei Golden Jubilee Souvenir, 2003. For some time, I was not able to trace the final text as the laptop (SHARP) I used to store the article had crashed. Yesterday, May 19, 2014 I visited C.Thant Khobung at his Dwarka home gave me a copy of Muolvaiphei Diamond Jubilee, 2003 Souvenir which carried the piece.
