It seems it’s becoming a hosteller week on the blog. Thanks miki for sharing your pleasant and lovely poem about hostels. So here is one of my own though written nearly a decade ago, I believe it’d still strike a chord with you all.
Poem i wrote on our farewell from college!!
It were days of august
Air filled with zeal
Vibrant was the nature
Which everyone could feel
Loafing here and there
Just fresh from the school
Prospects of joining a college
Was idea refreshingly cool
With lot of apprehensions
We moved into college
‘t was a transition
To an exciting new age
From innocence to bristling youth
A shift so paradigm
Pillars of new India
With fantasies and whim
Day one of the college
Was mired with thoughts of ragging
The horrible, devilisque seniors
Left many faces sagging
Those plain ‘funda’ shirts
And oily champu hairs
Jeans were out of question
And moustaches became so rare
Terrible black room in physics lab
& torturing chemistry titrations
Monstrous fitting and filthy moulding
Would left all in perspiration
Marked with new friends
They were new chapters
Termed as the beginning
By some one long after
Boring to the hilt
There were studious chaps
Also some ruffians
& some were wise cracks.
Thus the gang was formed
With great pomp and show
Gossiping and partying
With its new motto
Meanwhile cupid was ready
To shot down many of them
As a result of this battery
Many were left love stricken
Not many were lucky
For few hearts went to roast
However ‘lucky’ were more unlucky
For paying up the cost
And so, mobiles started ringing
At eleven ‘o clock
Out of their rooms all lovers
Would certainly flock
If there were lovers
There were heart breaks too
But like everything
They had new avenues
Coming of campuses
Was surely a great news
& after results
People were in different hues
Not every one was happy
But they learned to live
For there were some goals
They could still achieve
So there were some CATs
Remained to be belled
And also some GATEs
Which gotta be felled
And now comes the culmination
Of this lovely sojourn
Etched in heart for eternity
For it our heart will yearn
Could we forget those boring lectures
Where we would catch forty winks
Bunking classes regularly
With grief my heart sinks
Those fantastic movies
Together we have seen
Would not have been so
Had we, the gang, never been
Were given such nicknames
To which we solemnly refused
To hear them we’ll yearn
Coz to them our ears are used
On hearing those names
In streets, we’d turn
Just to be dismayed
For there‘ll be none
How swiftly time flies
We’d sometime wonder
And thus remembering those
Our heart will go sunder
A journey of four years
Looks short, although so long
Incidentally like my poem
I afraid to be my swan song
I hope, in near future
To skies, your career will soar
And we’ll meet again
Till then, AU REVOUIR
