home away from home they said,
with warmth, love and care.
new place, new atmosphere, new air.
had to adjust, with no other choice left.
to start from the start,
was completely unaware of the things waiting for me at the door.
mom and dad too were nervous,
but never weak.
leaving me in a new world,
knowing no longer in their loving care i'll be.
so finally the time came to meet the new people of my life,
with whom my days and nights were going to b shared!
they were warm and affectionate
but were trying hard to put up a stone face!
got along well,
never a problem i faced with them.
few others were indifferent, few caring,
few psych, few unjust, few sarcastic
and few were totally dis-interested!
evenings and nights of the early days were spent entertaining few.
there was the same pray on every lips.
to get over this under dogs status, which we found hard to keep.
slowly as the time eloped, we got fond of everything!
we missed the days we got teased and Bragged,
as our seniors got back to their books.
soon our exams came,
the people for whom we were mere source of entertainment,
showed their true self!
the care, affection, concern, botheration they showed,
none on the planet can compare!
as the days passed on, our bond only got strong.
thought being a hosteller was a bane,
but who knew it was a blessing in a disguise.
now when most of our seniors have left,
we realize the absence of the shadow of their love and care.
time doesn’t come back,
nor does the vacuum left by them will get filled.
just wish life gives few more chances,
for our paths to cross with theirs, to re-live just a part of our past.
hope they achieve all the success they deserve,
and wish even we remain a part of their golden memories..
miss ya! :D
