When I landed here,
So proud, happy and meek.
I just didn't know then
What was waiting for me!
...
Far from the stars
Came a ray of light.
It lit up your face
And I saw you all night!
...
It’s been twelve years in this school
And memories reign in my heart.
It’s now that I feel you, miss you,
When we are all about to part.
...
It was Tuesday, everything fine,
And Mumbai was rushing home.
Eager and excited, waiting,
To reach their home sweet home.
...
I want to be the sun,
A sun that shall never fade.
And when the night turns on
Through the stars I shall be immortal made.
...
The test of 'friendship forever'
Comes not when you are together,
It comes when you are alone,
And over your hardtimes you moan.
...
We love you so much, Dad,
Your absence kills me, stabs me.
We miss you continuously,
Come back, come back to me.
...
Each day I wake up late at dawn,
Doze and sway and stretch and yawn
And before in morning I can pray,
'Here we are', my dumb books say!
...
Main woh suraj banna chahti hoon
Jo kabhi dhal sakta nahin.
Aur jab raat ho jaaye,
To taaron mein main bikhar jaoongi.
...
(written in Marathi language)
Man bharuni aale majhe kaal,
Kutryachi dashaa jhaaleli faar.
...
What a fool I am Mom,
Look how greatly mad!
I fight with you when you don't hear,
And miss you tons when you're not here!
...
A few minutes back,
As I was adoring moon,
Down came Michael
And said I'll die soon.
...
Nothing permanent ever came
Neither success, nor failure.
It's how wise you play the game,
Your integrity that'll endure.
...
Test me not so much O Lord!
I fear that I may fail.
Everything is by your will,
Then why do you question me still?
...
Once it so happened that
I sat pondering in wonder,
Thinking that way, asking myself,
'Will I ever reach that yonder? '
...
The protruded pink candle
Was so beautiful to see.
The yellow hue of its flame
Was the brightest it could be.
...
So serene is the lady sitting there,
Right in front of me,
Her eyes are so very grey
And her face is trouble free!
...
A sun had risen
A few years back,
Had been on a rising
Ever since that.
...
If my life were a paper,
I would have brightened it with colours.
If my life were a vase,
I would have decorated it with flowers.
...
Ted was a boy at school,
More principled than the rest.
He excelled in all the fields
And he was teacher's best.

(27) A Journey Called 1st M.B.B.S
When I landed here,
So proud, happy and meek.
I just didn't know then
What was waiting for me!
Right away on night two
While we were snoring aloud,
Bang opened our doors,
And we were called out.
Oh! Seniors they were!
So we had to move.
So horrified we were
About what they would do!
We started speaking of ourselves
Like showing resume for a job,
Felt like promoting oneself
In midst of a mob!
They called it 'Intro'
And that was all fair.
But drowsy at twelve midnight
That would come as nightmare!
We are budding Doctors
Was what we felt then.
But soon our misery came on us
When we studied Biochem!
Then came there Anatomy
The 'Boss of 1st Year',
The fun we had in DH
The formalin and the tear!
The Physio department you know,
Is known for being rude.
However perfect we were,
The exams were always crude!
Days passed by and by
And we were now all friends.
Bunking lectures and sleeping in class
Were few of commonest trends.
The life back in hostel
Is such a fun I say.
You have the best of friends
And a new experience each day!
Despite being from 1st year
We try to be dare devils,
We bunk the mess and go nights out
Then comes on us the Rector's evil!
The hostel terrace and the lamp,
The midnight two and maggi bowl,
New rooms and the DJ nights
Fun was here for each soul!
The lovely Farewell Parties,
The rocking Freshie's Day,
We simply loved them so much,
The dramas and each play!
The lovely college canteen
Is such a heavenly place.
We've found each dashing senior here,
And every beautiful face!
The college library, Oh!
Is the most slumbering city,
Hell is out there
Each face there wears a pity!
We have a major crush on one,
We dare to play the love game
Only to realize he's occupied
This tragedy with all is same!
While we pass sleepless nights
Someone else appears in scene.
We're still thinking of the old guy
While new stories already begin!
We want to laugh a lot
But we cry aloud
Because all this happened
When exams were around!
We come to our senses and wake up
The poison of failure we fear.
We slog and cry and bang each hour,
But miraculously exams we clear!
This is MBBS and we the 'Students'
We learnt to overcome each fear
Through the most happenning event..
A Journey called 1st Year!
