From Pints to Shots

With Sir DSJ & Sir Bob Mar-ley!

It started long back,
On island of thoughts,
When our desires synchronized,
And, we opted out of 'the lot'.

We found Leonara's Den to our respite,
And, lucrative 2+1 offer, became reason for our delight.

The kick start, was perfect for the trip,
Which consequently became a memorable sip!

At Britto's, the ball was set rolling,
with the Jagger Bomb blast,
It was the over hyped one,
Since, the effect didn't last!

The Curlies offered a different thing,
And, our search ended when we found the King!
The Fizzing game started,
when 'Sir' took the call,
And, everyone gulped the froth,
without letting it fall!

Experiences multiplied in days that followed,
Endlessly, there was a lot, we swallowed!
From Candolim to Morjim beach,
We wandered around, to test our reach!

This took us to the eve of retreat,
where the destination was set at the Tito's street,
And, the much awaited Shots were placed,
the spirit was high, as the toast was raised!
And, it was a catalyst in the process ,
which we remember neither much nor less! ;)

Thus, a happy transition happened,
during the journey: from Pints to Shots,
And, it'll remain a memory forever,
as an outstanding one,to cherish a lot!

Thanksgiving: because a ‘Thank you’ was due!

Thank you!  Thank you!! Thank you!!!

That is all I wanted to say,

And, thought of expressing the same,

In my own creative way.

So,I’m writing a poem for your delight,

Bringing a few memories back to the lime light;

I’m arranging passed moments from my hindsight,

And I hope the scattered jigsaws will be set right.

Over phone,

You sounded confident with your scintillating voice,

And helped me in making my college choice;

But when I reached here,I didn’t find you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

I played badminton after quite a long time,

And, we managed the shuttle between the parallel line(s);

I was encouraged to see an ‘active’ you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

You always greeted in a pleasing style,

Your jovial appearance and the beautiful smile;

I was spellbound by the warmth shown by you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

Just in an year’s spell,

You decoded this institute quite well;

How the people,the place and the system functions,

You shared a lot about the links and the junctions;

I was overwhelmed to see an ‘analyst’ in you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

The tips you shared were worth following,

I did try a few and it added to the zing;

The secret of library basement is actually known to a few,

And for sharing it,
a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

When the EPL team owner inquired,

and an instant answer I required,

I could not think of a negotiable reply,

Then you came for my rescue like an ally;

I was moved to see a 'friend' in you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due!

 The Pink Puma Bag is an element of attraction,

 As it spreads in the air that feminine fraction,

 I was thrilled to see the bag with you,

And a ‘Thank you’ is what was due! 

Well…

Some instances might have been left unquoted,

But, the beautiful ones have been well noted;

I hope to express my gratitude in future too,

And let ‘the Thank you’ be left: as a due!!!
