Welcome freshers!


Oh! Welcome freshers
             To this most recognized department
We have a place reserved for you
             Also in our heart apartment

Your presence brightens up the day
Your intellect has many things to say
Your energy burns up all the hay
And then we have a bill to pay
             Oh come on just kidding!
That was only a joke to say
We know
That your goals have a movement like a ray
You all succeed in your life
             That’s the only thing we pray

We remember
The day you first stepped
             In the Department of Business Administration
Big question mark on every guy’s face
             But with a distinct satisfaction
We never expected that you’ll create
             Such extensive reverberation
That the whole department will dance
             On the 16th October for recreation

Your batch comprises of
             Such beautiful kudiyaan
Some are simple, a few are sober
             And most are burning fuljhariyaan
Just their presence creates the milieu
             For an exceptional euphoria
And the department also boasts of
             These rarest Goriyaan
We are sure you’ll rise
             To the paramount position
None of you will settle for hausfrau
             And continue the blind tradition
Take the world in your stride
             With the utmost precision
Break all barriers, remove all fences
             As well as the superstitions

Now considering something
             About the boy’s part
You are all quite contrary
             To your fairer counterpart
Beware! The girls are going to drive you crazy
             Your lackluster attitude
             Makes you all lazy
Anyhow, if are on the hit list
             Then you all turn to be evangelist
Our dear brethren can outflank any philanderer
             Yet you are called philanthropist

So now guys
             It’s time to get into the grove
As we have some lip-smacking supper
             And a foxtrot to prove

So go and get your part or pie
Otherwise you’ll lag behind mere bhai
The floor is ready for your jhatkaa
And we can’t help if somebody atkaa

We’ll have some toothsome vegetarian
That you’ll remember till septuagenarian
But mind it out the samose me mircha
That has proved us a lot of kharcha

We all had some exciting times together
The memories of which are imprinted forever
We hope that you didn’t mind
             All through the introduction
As we just wanted to prove
             Our deep love and affection
But in case if you felt otherwise
Then we are sorry and heartily apologize
We just wanted to build
             A healthy atmosphere
Which has the camaraderie
             All in a social sphere

We expect from you to sync all around
             And raise the coveted banner
We expect you to win all through
             In a competitive manner

Our wishes are always with you
             In every step of your life
And you’ll find us beside you
             In each and every strife
But don’t expect us to help you
             In that part of your life
Which includes the fights and quarrels
             Between the husband and wife
But we promise that we won’t be ajnabee
             ‘Cause our dil really chahta hai
So enjoy that day as much as you can
             As ye din roz nahi aata hai

The Impossible Gandhi


Oh what to say
             About those pragmatic principles
Real hard and rigid
             So need some extensive shuffles

Among the biggest principles of Gandhi
             Was the one of Ahimsa
But this Gandhi only believes in
             Mar kaat and hinsa

He has a humpty head and a dumpty body
             With a big thick eyebrow
Don’t ever challenge him
             Otherwise he’ll say ungli neeche karo

You stay miles away from him
             Only then you’ll remain happy
Otherwise he’ll stand on your head
             ‘Cause his ruh didn’t kaapi

He doesn’t has the courtesy
             Even while talking to ladkiyaan
And if he continues this type of attitude
             Then I’m sure he’s going to land into kadkiyaan

You think him to be very ethical
             He is exactly like a bubble
Looks good from outside, but the moment he bursts
             He is no more than rubble

You prick a pin into his belly
             And he’ll burst like a balloon
With a big bang and a top shot
             He slowly comes out of the cocoon

You call him a Gandhi
             That’s a dubious distinction
I’m not even able to find words for him
             ‘Cause words are also on the verge of extinction

He thinks himself to be the greatest of all
             And wants everybody to flash him a salaam
But I seriously predict his future today
             He’s going to land nowhere
             Except being a joru ka gulaam

Shahar ki ladkiyaan


She walks down the street
             And makes the traffic halt
She is the pretty woman
             A combi of spicy sweety salt

She’ll drive you crazy
             But you better drive araam se
‘Cause these are the shahar ki ladkiyaan
             Otherwise you gaye kaam se

Not only this
             They all have such pretty ankhiyaans
You try to convince one
             And they all land up with sakhiyaans

I try to work it out somehow
             But they all look the same
With a blue jeans and a red top
             They all seem to be English babu’s desi mem

The more you try to maintain the duriyaan
             They follow you like parchaiyyan
Now only God help us
             As they create the biggest pareshaniyaan

Into the frenzy traffic
             They cash their way
And when they crash onto some guy’s bike
             That poor chap has a bill to pay

You dare not argue with any of them
             ‘Cause the public is on their side
They give just a formal sorry
             And a smile too wide

To accompany them in a café
             Is one of the biggest bawaal
‘Cause when you come back home
             You need to answer many sawaal

So at last there’s a word of caution
             To all of you
Stay away from these pretty damsels
             If you really can do

They prove to be more kadak
             Than any winter kadkiyaan
Because they are called the all famous
             Shahar ki ladkiyaan

The big tree in the courtyard


Forgive me, oh please forgive me
             That vulnerable child cried
As the big tree had trapped it down
             And hold it tightly tied

The heartbeat starts sinking
             And the limbs become numb
With even a slight glance of that tree
             When screams become dumb

When the wind slowly blows
             Through its innumerable branches
The hissing sound that it creates
             Tells your probable chances

You stand right in front of it
             And look into its dense branches
You see a face of a ghost
             Giving you hungry glances

You step and crush the dead dried leaves
             When you move one step back
And you find that your feet is glued
             Onto that hostile track

The rotten bones that you see underneath it
             Cries and tells the whole story
Drops of blood trickling down from it
             Increasing the existing fury

Then the ghost comes down from the tree
             With just the hands and the head
Its eyes and teeth terrifies your instincts
             And the claws are wet and red

It’s hungry to feed on your flesh
             It’s thirsty to drink your blood
The jaws and claws are waiting out there
             Like a sharp edge stud

You scratch your voice out of your throat
             But it’s somewhere lost
             In the density of the tree
You apply all your damn energy
             But there’s nobody
             Who can set you free

The roots fall down of the branches
             And rolls all through your waist
The picks and thorns enter your veins
             And enjoys that hot blood taste

You know that you’re finished
             And ultimately you give it up
The branches have got their orders
             To finally take you up

So, there stands the tree
             And that ghost under its guard
Now every mortal is warned about
             The big tree in the courtyard

The sixth sense for winning


It lightens up the soul
             To play a distinct role
To brighten up the day
             And as the great men say

The sense of winning comes from within
             Nor searches neither researches
             They peek-a-boo from the edge of the heart
             To realize right from the start
That there stands the winner, right on the top
Consistently rising without a stop

It says that you are the winner
             Even before you take the test
And the energy that it possesses
             Makes you go for the best
The enthu that it creates
             From the eyes it radiates
The heart beat tells the tale
             You even need not go and look out for it
             You need not call or even remember it
             You need not do anything for it
It assures to set its own sail

But it isn’t that easy
             To experience it
It comes to the deserving soul
             And stays with the fit

You toil your sweat and run all wet
You feel you’re right and still you can’t get
Because it only comes to the lucky few
Whose heart is as pure as the morning dew
Who have done the labour
             And were honest with it
Who have a sense of confidence
             With an attitude that ‘I’ve done it’

Just the presence of it
             Is the essence for the life time
‘Cause it’s rarest of the experiences
             Working out on a thin fine line

Those joyous moments with the wine
When the spirit is on cloud nine
Shakes and trembles filling the floor
Making the feeling Divine

The glowing eyes show the path
             For the assurance of the aftermath
When the instincts are at their best
             To give you an edge over the rest

Then it arrives as the rarest sixth sense
Breaking all barriers, even the big high fence
It touches you with its trembling hands
             Your soul lightens up
             Your spirit brightens up
And you sense as the winner you’ll stand
