Fergusson..

I really hate leaving my blog idle for long .So many ideas come to my head however, I just don't have the time to put them onto paper or in my case, console.

Nevertheless, here's an old offering. It seems childish, was written five years back, but its my favourite.

All of 15 , I had moved into a new city seeking greener pastures . A new college , a new life , excitement failed to cease and everyday was a new discovery . From a secluded and protected environment I was catapulted into a totally new world full of different people and varied lifestyles ..and boy did I enjoy it !! :D

My college , however claims a special place in my heart ....

MY FIRST DAY AT FERGUSSON

<>I combed my hair, I brushed my teeth
And ate my breakfast in a sway
I hurled my bag , my arm underneath
And left my house far away .

<>To catch a rickshaw ,I had to jog
I had to make it to college in time
On the street I looked like a panic stricken frog
However , I didn’t care as the day was my prime

<>I reached my class fifteen minutes late
Shamelessly I entered with a sheepish grin
I found a place near my mate
While the teacher tried to quieten the merry din

<>I glanced around to see people sundry
And indeed saw a varied crowd
Bookworms and nerds sat nearby
While the backbenches were ruled by the flashy and proud

<>I saw a boy with long , curly locks
And a girl with red streaked hair
Another lad wore shocking pink socks
I couldn’t help but appallingly stare!

<>The teachers were yet another surprise
Each different from the other as chalk and cheese
One old dame who seemed pretty wise
Had a flower in her plat that made me sneeze !!

<>Some of them did laudably teach
While a few made my fresh brains rot
Others recklessly continued to preach
Seldom practising what they taught

<>The college campus was a sheer delight
I adored the gigantic buildings of the old age
Although the overgrown gardens were quite a sight
It had managed to maintain a regal image

<>The canteen however I tried to evade
It offered nothing I could greedily condiment
On its table soggy sandwiches were laid
Spreading around an abominable scent

<>Fergusson didn’t seem to differ from the rest
It wasn’t astonishingly majestic and divine
Yet I found it better than the best
For the mere reason that it was mine!!!!
