Kanya, AR98, rightly says: 
"ouch. etymology of 'algia' - pain!!"
:-)
So here we have - RECalgia - the Nostalgia of REC. Before leaving REC I compiled
an album for myself which had songs that I, personally, associated with REC for
some reason or other. However the following list is of numbers which have become
a part of REC memory through some public event.

"jora-jori channe kae khet mai-n" - 
			Closing down of some cultural event in 95-96. With my 
			classmates- Sandhya Nambiyar, Shweta Shah and ??? doing a 
			la Madhuri on Audi stage.

"sexy sexy sexy mujhae log bolai-n" -
			Wheels'96 - everyone was requesting the song at the drop
			of a hat and esp when Ms.Priya Singh was on skates. Later, 
			in fact she herself played it for her  jrs. How sporting!
			An RECicon, wasn't she ? Pity, she decided to leave
			sooner than later.

"chura kae dil mera goriya chali" & "aankon main base ho tum" -
			Philips top 10 in'96-7. when even guys like Nautiyal too
			jammed in the common rooms - whenver Shilpa Shetty or Sonali
			Bendares graced the idiot box in front of hundreds of 
			REC accomatised, salivating, derpived souls onto the
			red carpet.

"tu hai meri kiran" -	"Darr", the rise (and subsequent fall) of Shahrukh Khan
			and "Blue Diamond(or ???)" theatre. And re-emeregence
			of Jeep shows with it - despite the new rates of INR 140/-.
			(And it's Rs 220/- per show now!).

"mustafa mustafa" - 	The talli ideas of romaniticism creep into macho hearts 
			of REC as '96 dragons bid adieu. And the emotional
			outpouring by the F.Y. guys when the whole hostels went
			"mustafa mustafa" in unison... silent tears rolling
			down not-so-slient cheeks.

97 batch spls:
"East or west, India is the best" -	
			Anu Malik never got so much of an audience b4 when
			Rajiv Pillai pumped his Madonna-pelvis to the beats
			of this "judwaa" song. F-hostel pre'97 New year eve, 
			With sem exams prep break to get over in just 2 days.

Finally, much awaited college-band stuff:	

"What's going on"-	Ah! Geena George's own song. And she loved doing this 
			great number from "Train" by 4 Non Blondes. 
			And we loved her doing it. 
			But we loved everything she did! A natural show(wo)man. 
			91-95. Congrats Reuben, u've the most precious REC gem 
			in your care.

"Summer of'69" - 	Hate Adams or unhate him. But You did move. When 
			Brackets rocked the whole REC, with Georgie on guitars.
			[Btw, For "Brackets" etymology: ask Geena!].

"Sultans of Swing" -	And Georgie proves his "mettle" when u wondered if Mark
			Knophler was a Mallu. OAT was the last time we heard it.

"Circles in the sand" - And as the Sultans were onto their last show we saw a 
			new voice join REC imagery that night. Manjusha;
			REC-Rock-o-fying the 80s Pop-diva Belinda Carlisle. 
			Wow!

Did I forget "smoke on the water..." ??? It was mimed I think. ;-)

And of coz, the whole razzle-dazzle of numbers from Nirvana to Pinkfloyd
by one of the finest bands in the country, Dread Locks, when the 97 batch, WE,
were leaving. But it was more of a single great event in REC rather than a song 
we can put in RECalgia.
