A jest of my story of the first 3 years in VNIT (had written this sometime in my final year!).
Hopefully every college student will connect to it at some point somewhere.
Pardon me for the length but i could have gone on and on describing these "awesomest" days of my life :)
Dedicated to all my friends who've always been there for me...
College days, college days
why are they disappearing into haze.
Never before had I wished I fail
That's the dilemma: I don't want to, yet I have to sail.
Never before had the time moved soo fast
You think a moment and its already disappeared into the past.
It seems as if it was just yesterday when we first entered this place
All young and enthused, some still in there pre-mature days.
All new faces everywhere,
all new places eveywhere.
Somewhere in there was a kid, alien to them all
A boy who had seen nothing but his home's fall.
He never knew where to go,
what to do, whom to know.
He cried his first night 'coz he knew no one out there
he wished he ran back home and never return here.
Slowly and gradually, as the days passed
he made new friends, he got new tasks.
Soon he realized what truly college life meant
then and after, each moment there was among the best he ever spent.
Be it the first time he rocked the stage,
or the time when he was slapped in face!
He would study (more often sleep) in library through the day
and then chat with friends till no one had anything more to say.
Suddenly out of nowhere, the end-sems came
he needed more time, in God's name!
He promised he'd do better the coming years
no matter whatsoever came, he said with a smear.
With the inception of the second year,
he was a bit different, I swear.
He studied more, he enjoyed more
He took part in everything from the core.
And just when everything was at its peak,
the year ended with no time left to seek.
Thinking of the second year
he never understood what he had done here.
But then he realized he'd found the most valuable thing on earth
living without friends now just didn't seem to have any worth.
When asked what he did in college, he had no clue
though he realised he was already more than half way through.
Its so simple, yet it tickles our brain
What happens here, that these days keep revisiting our memory's lane.
Sometimes even a small good thing makes our day
college is full of such "small good things", happiness never far away.
Say them boon or say them bane
Let them pass by, and then you'd realise the pain.
Never once would you regret a thing done here
these are the moments you'd like everyone to share.
When the third year came,
he had in mind,a much bigger aim.
He lead the department, he did his studies
he found true friends, he found great buddies.
Throughout the year, he worked quite hard
whatsoever "happened", he never gave a regard.
With so many things on his mind to do,
he didn't realise "as always", where the time flew!
With all this now left far behind
here I am now, praying to get blessed with a time rewind.
Whats there in the future, we never know
all I wish is that it always remains so...
Note: I thought of writing further but that would have belittled the meaning of the last line.
