With loads of dreams I came here,
Each coming true in my future near.
English test to start with,
“healthy interaction” as per IIIT myth.
Lectures attended in CR2,
Dedication to studies which we outgrew.
Fun in workspace watching movies,
Fight for PCS did some meanies,
C- assignments to usurp this fun,
One after another making us stun.
Damn physical training, none likes it.
It serves as an alarm, not to make one fit.
Freshers and Felicity-the times most awaited,
Mid sems and end sems-times we get predated.
Project work to keep us busy,
Discontented profs often we see.
Three years this way, time flew.
How so quick, I never knew.
Reminiscing back all those days,
Happy I am and will be always.
For I feel lucky that I belong to here,
Thanks to everyone near and dear.
Just an icing to this cake:
Oh when I look back now
These days seem to last forever
And if I had a choice
Ya-I’d part you never
These are the best days of my life.
HAPPY BLOGGERS DAY!

Anu…simply superb!! This is THE best of your works…
All our 3 yrs of life at IIIT (ofcourse, excluding the project busy in my case) have been beautifully put in! If I ever happen to read this poem after leaving IIIT I would definitely feel nostalgic!! [:(]
I’ll really miss you anu!!
Himank // August 30, 2008 at 9:16 pm |
This was seriously nice, you portrayed each and every thing of the 3 year stay in IIIT. Liked it a lot!!
I think abbulu’s sambhar of 69 inspired you, which you shared on twitter..
Btw Happy Bloggers’ Day!!
