Those were the best days of my life

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

Year 2005, month of November,

I took CAT, and I guess I blundered,

I had my chances, I blew them all,

With this background, I stepped into NITK Examination Hall.

Test was easy, that’s for sure,

Because without attempting 6 questions I was still among first four!

I never enjoyed the place or the campus.

Surely I wonder now, how it happened.

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

First Seminar, Bhaskar Bagchi was the Speaker

I didn’t understand what shit he was talking,

So I fucked him there and I fucked him Brutal.

Little did I knew, that it would create an image

& how that image will shape my future?

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

First three days & I knew this place is shit,

So I decided to give it a complete miss.

With that decided, I ventured into CAT again,

Realizing later that FATE always prevails.

Five months gone & nowhere else to go,

I knew that this is where I supposedly belong.

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

In Department, I rarely showed up my face,

Because Hostel was the place, where I found my solace,

Laptop was my girlfriend in the campus,

& I dated her in the CCN labs for rest of semesters.

Nobody in the hostel was ever denied her company.

In my absence she was treated like a public property.

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

Campus was small, and the crowd Sophisticated,

B.Tech acted, as if MBA was NITK’s unwanted child.

Department was new and so were the benches.

Our Picassos used them for some fabulous paintings.

I remember the day when Lahkara asked for a camera phone,

For reasons better remain unknown.

I had such reasons to attend class;

I also loved Sapna, and her voice.

I played some games & I claimed some Fame.

I went out and carved a name.

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

I remember this place where I was my natural being,

I remember the world of which I was the king.

I remember those years when I inhibited no fear,

I lived as if End was nowhere near.

But two years passed, so thick and rear.

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

Last day evening, we bid adieu

I woke up next day and it was time to leave,

But I wanted to play that last game of sweep.

It was gloomy, but one thing I knew, that I have some friends,

Who surely would not let my world come to an early end?

As time goes by, I wonder why?

I grew up how to become like thy!

After going through this long piece of uncreative writing, I think you have guessed it right.

I cherish these moments, and I hold them Tight.

NITK made men out of boys,

To set them loose in this cruel space.

Some might lose, some will surely gain.

But let’s make sure, that there is no further pain

And with this last line, I will take my place,

Thank you all for providing me this moment of fame.

Love you guys, love you NIT.
