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
And ate my breakfast in a sway
I hurled my bag , my arm underneath
And left my house far away .
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
Shamelessly I entered with a sheepish grin
I found a place near my mate
While the teacher tried to quieten the merry din
And indeed saw a varied crowd
Bookworms and nerds sat nearby
While the backbenches were ruled by the flashy and proud
And a girl with red streaked hair
Another lad wore shocking pink socks
I couldn’t help but appallingly stare!
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 !!
While a few made my fresh brains rot
Others recklessly continued to preach
Seldom practising what they taught
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
It offered nothing I could greedily condiment
On its table soggy sandwiches were laid
Spreading around an abominable scent
It wasn’t astonishingly majestic and divine
Yet I found it better than the best
For the mere reason that it was mine!!!!

That is the almost if not the exact same way I felt about my first day in college. Maybe if you bring in crowded trains and panic attacks that would be me :P....
