College Life

This may not be my best of works, but remains close to me, by the virtue of being my first poem. Today when I read it, it may seem childish at points, but still it makes me nostalgic about my college days. I believe many of us would have felt some of these feelings at one point or another during our student life.

College Life

Three years ago, When we left the school,

We were feeling like Dudes cool

But we didn’t know,

We had ahead a long strife, &

That was what, College Life…

On the very first day, In some unusual way,

We entered the college gate, But usual we were late.

Without much debate,

We were relying on our fate,

&, in the whole New World,

Each looking for a New Mate.

Just wishing to get the Tag,

that, “This is HINDU, We do not RAG”.

The course was vast,

the days got passed,

and we tried hard to last.

But then we realized,

that we need to study hard to materialize.

Finally we got passed,

Don’t ask how much we managed to grasp,

and then we partied hard,

as we succeeded to survive,

That was what, College Life…

Then came the second year,

Which brought with it a lot more to bear.

We tried to learn the ‘Laws of Attraction’,

As there was a deliberate detraction.

Some offers were taken,

while lot Hearts were broken,

But the journey carried on,

without waiting to mourn.

Some became friends, Some became foe,

the year was full of fun and joy.

Hence it shaped one more curve, Under God’s majestic knife,

that was what, College Life..

Then the new beginning, which caused the body shivering,

We were about to feel a shock,

which came without a knock.

The college gonna end, A thought which left everybody frightened.

But the life cannot halt,

It needs to proceed amid various assault.

In this war, Don’t just be a Martyr,

But try to be Alexander.

Finally with eyes full of tears,

I wish everybody hears,

That even after some years,

When, some of us will have husbands,

&, some of us will have wives,

No one will ever forgot,

What was our, College Life…..
