Lessons learnt toughest
Patches treaded roughest
Played hard fun
Sometimes till I was done
Studied like never before
A subject that did much bore
The fruit that did pay
Was very much to stay
Made friends so eccentric
Went in circles concentric
Sat many a hour alone
Hearing airplanes drone
Watched the rain shower
Amidst the thoughts hover
Argued the logic vehement
Trying to pry the inherent
Drank sordid tea
Solving calculus to my glee
Smoked with my paratroopers
Laughing over class’s bloopers
Snubbed greasy professors
My worst depressors
Mooned over the radicals
Far from being tactical
That did pay bad
Regret I don’t feel tad
Waded through thesis trouble
That burst my urban bubble
All in all I’ll tell
I had a time so swell!!!!!
A dedication to my life at Madras School of Economics. I miss school for everything including the studies which I didn’t enjoy much except for the calculus I used on everything taught. Some amazing individuals I met there. Some terrific experiences. Most of all I loved our private balcony where we could see planes fly so low..... the best memories are ofcourse the ciggie breaks with paratroopers and cheap thrills of taking the breaks in Madhuri's hostel room.

@ Kiran
I passed and passed well, one of the few to make it on campus recruitment!!I never said economics was comics.
@Srini, thanks for the encour(e)agement.
@Chaitu, If u didnt notice i write only poems that Rhyme
no :) I didn't mean economics is comics. "that burst my urban bubble" - I thought it referred to the "bubble" as it is used in stock-market.
"The market is booming dude"
"No dude, it's just a bubble. It's gonna burst"
Well, I am equally guilty of using slang. I once said to my friend.
"No man. The situation is rank-deficient. We need more information before taking a decision.
My friend gave me weird looks !
When there is a linear system of equations, you cannot solve them if the coefficient matrix is singular (rank-deficient). Obviously, my friend wasn't as into linear algebra as I was. So the aforementioned weird looks.
hey lovely poems
