Spirit of RP

On a new road I started a tread
like a stranger I came, new people I met
didnt really realize I moved one year ahead!!

We all came to this place as a bunch of second years
Confusion in mind,with doubts and unknown fears
shifting to a new place, changing life's gears

it started with introduction and knowing em all
Feeling the difference of a hostel and a hall
feeling the oneness,the spirit overall
feeling a part of the honors in scroll

Cheering our teams in inter hall events
a sense of pride if we bagged a medal
Be it sports tech or socio cultural
we always tried out best,not to win,but triumph....

The days of dramatics,the wee hours of night
Bhaat maaroing at cheddis,sharing each other's insight
The B'day bashes and treats that followed
A journey so vivid,a life so colored

The frenzy of illu and rangoli
chatais and diyas ,combined beautifully
Nightout with pals,Hunger pangs@1 in night
There is always Carlosda,to provide some respite!!
Tempo shouts in a huddle,shouting as one might
come athletics GC,we are ready to run
life is awake here till the rise of morning sun

Two more years in this vibrant zone
Shaping our lives,to reach milestone
More of friendships and bondings to stay
"gentlemen by choice" is that what they say....

overwhelmed by the hidden talent of my roommate. i was not aware of the fact the he is such a good poet. this poem describes practically how is our life in this hall and how we make this hall our home and how it becomes an integral part of the life of every RPian. long after our pass out when we shall look back at this poem there would be no reason not to miss the most adventurous part of our student life.
