Life....

The impressions of College life

When I saw the result of my 12^th class

The world seemed under my feet I’d topped with first class

And then the result of PMT was announced

I’d been selected, my joy knew no bounds

Partying n dancing followed – and to a stage of euphoria I progressed

And with my result surely everyone seemed impressed

College life is fun, freaky and cool – that’s what I got to hear

And college was something out of the world..this in my mind was clear

Things passed by happily till the admissions did conclude

And I was ecstatic about my college prelude

But to this I had no clue or trace

That something called ragging I had to face

So my ‘illusion’ was shattered to pieces

When I learned about 90s and wishes

Is this college life – I heard myself say

When I had to face a dozen slaps a day

Clad in a white dress with black shoes that shone

How I wished I could run away home

On the way to the Lecture Theatre each and every person I met

I wished him trembling, my brows wet with sweat

I wished every person…from a peon to a maid

For the risk of not recognizing a senior was far too great

And I thought that the person was a fool

Who told me college life is fun, freaky and cool

Coz if u forgot to wish a senior on any date..

Ending up in hospital with a perfo would be your fate

On approaching the college gate my heart beat raced

And I dashed to the lecture theatre at an unbelievable pace

But fortunately soon, a GT was declared

And I dashed towards home as I was way too scared

But as the GT came to an end my anxiety increased

And I hoped and prayed – someone extend the GT please!

But things started to brighten as the functions approached

And for various events we all were coached

The image of seniors started changing from enemies to friends

And life seemed a little more meaningful…it wasn’t THE END

And the functions really we thoroughly enjoyed

And ended up with a couple of mementos- overjoyed

The beating stopped and the dress code was abated

So we started feeling a little less frustrated

But ‘from frying pan into the fire…’ is all I could say

When I ended up writing more than 3 files a day

And for the first terminal without preparation went all

Coz after an hour only 5 people were left in the hall!

Well how will I manage to pass the 1^st Proff

I asked myself seeing marks I could never even dream of!

But the seniors consoled me and said only 5 people have passed

So with you is the rest of the class!

Gradually frustration faded and studies gained momentum

And true college life forward did start to come

From watching movies, bunking classes and sleeping till 12 in daylight

To playing carom and badminton past 12 in midnight

And proposing gals, and screening the town

And teasing others till they frowned

Making faces at the teacher and dozing off in the class

Well college life after-all was a nice time-pass

Friendships began and relationships started

From which I never wanted to be parted

And trust me college life is much more better than it looks

If you mix freaking out with books!

And now college life seems to be so nice and fine

That is want it to last a life-time

And guess what I told a junior the other day at the pool…

College Life is fun, freaky and cool!!!
