My College Life

College life is all about building your career is what our elders say,

As for me, the best time of life to make the most of each day.

The high spirits with the rib- tickling humor and my books in the shade,

Which later I regret could have fetched me a better grade.

Learning the vital values of life the harder way,

Keeping all the advices and experiences heard at bay.

Cherishing every precious moment spent with friends,

Fighting against odds and iniquities at life’s bends.

But as someday every good thing comes to an end,

So would be the same when I from this stage would descend.

And I’d be geared up to face the worst amongst the herd,

That which molded me for a better living in this realistic world.

RAIN

You never know what the rain really means,

Just condensing of clouds is all it seems.

Its depiction is at times of joy or sorrow,

Whose bounds are like no tomorrow.

Some use it to conceal their tears,

Some enjoy it with shouts of cheers.

A broken heart it mends and heals,

Which then through smile appeals.

To me it brings utmost happiness,

An indescribable feeling to express.

Nature's most beautiful bestowing,

I call it God's showers of blessing.

My Dream World

I dream a world of my own freedom,

My mind always said and done.

Do what I want and say what I feel,

Caring a damn about any other peer.


My feelings understood and never condemned,

People standing by my side till the very end.

Where none correct my way,

But believe in them every single day.


Erasing every discrimination that is known,

Embracing love from dusk to dawn.

A free world I seek ever since my birth,

I wonder if I’d find it in heaven or on the earth.
