All I Need .... is a Little More

I don't know whether its good or bad, rhyming or not but I took my pen and started scribbling. This was the outcome. Though its a bit personal but do lemme know how you felt after reading it. Also excuse me if my language here is not decent enough.

How I wish today that I could have just another day

Just another moment to savour

Just another discussion to remember

Another day to be together

Another day of celebrations and joy

Another moment of happiness and fun

Those frequent visits to Madhuban or Misky's
Those sneaking to Juice Point during the lab classes
Those "Counter Strike" sessions, all so long
Or playing cards while the exams are on
Or simply sitting in a room having a Khatti
Or playing Holi with each other, enjoying while getting dirty
Watching movies together (and also sleeping thro' some of it)
And kicking each other's asses, Oh! we all loved it
The Gujju--Bihari--Oriya war of words
Or the nicknames that shall never be forgot
The copying of assignments from the master copy
And then cursing the "No. 1" for why was it so lengthy
Those birthday bumps or the placement celebrations as the beating
Will be definitely missed by everyone


Always getting the attendance from Bhagwaan Sir 
For just coming to class before it ended
And also remaining outside the gates in periods of Thermodynamics
'coz CalC was what you forgot 
Or came late by a minute and outside the closed gates were left stranded


Saying "Don't Knows" during the Vivas to the amusement of the teachers
Doing "Mass Bunks" and switching off the phone
To delay the scolding and ass-whooping for as long as I can

The innumerable no. of quizzes where we participated (and lost)
It definitely was an achievement, thought not something we wished for
The scolding we got on the point of decency
Or the celebration and joy on the Fresher's Party Victory

Asking for the notes to get it xeroxed during exams
Always cursing the teacher and the course -- "Syllabus is very long"
Reading always on the night or day before exams
And then saying -- "Dude, preparation time should have been more"
And all during those times, the enjoyment in staying together
Never did I think that this day would come ever

And now that it's all about to end,
When the curtains are about to be drawn,
When the lights shall be switched off,
And everybody moves in different directions,
To discover new dreams, to find new destinations,
All alone now we'll do it, without them whom we've loved,
It would be difficult to forget these years,
When happiness was increased with them smiling around me, 
When I felt relieved after talking to them about my fears,
All those memories will find a plzce inside my heart,
And keep it going as I go on continuing with my life.....
