First step in the campus & a blow without fist
seniors staring &gnawing their teeth
to pounce on the guy dull & lame
& grab a chance to impress a new dame
yeah i am an engineer and this was my fate
now i realized it, i think i am late!!
Soon i met strangers with a hi
with passing days it was with a broad smile
soon gotta know their likes and dislikes
her mania for lipstick, his passion for bikes!
cellphone nos. were the next obvious things
for rare calls and frequent messaging!
Late night gossips over cups of tea
seldom books and mostly movies
dozing off early morning in the class
god only knows how we manage to pass
teachers gripe over attendance so slim
and to top it our grades are grim
flak follows by the masks of sneer
but alas it falls on deaf ears!
yeah, i am an engineer and this was my fate
now i realized it, Gosh I am LATE!!
[i got this published in our college magazine 'GRAFFITI' and it got selected for in-house circulation of british library, kolkata. I have posted it in my blog to honour this otherwise highly condemned grad course B.Tech]
