Walking down the friendship lane with Suchandra Sen

 

When any possibility ceases to exist,

And, when your courage starts to resist…..

Suddenly, your conscience is struck by a low pitch voice,

That unpacks a bunch of free flowing advice.

And when you try to figure out the source,

You’ll find a girl standing at the step of your doors.

She possesses beauty with brain(s),

And she is known as Miss Suchandra Sen.

She’s a consultant to many and friend to all,

She’ll come for your rescue when you are about to fall.

She devours upon Schezwan rice and paneer chilly,

Sometimes, she behaves maturely and sometimes silly.

Yawning over a phone call is her patent style,

But, with a little effort she can make you smile.

Nowadays, she’s gaining expertise in fine arts,

And has already achieved mastery in mending broken hearts.

She resembles ‘Ms. Lily’ of HIMYM gang,

And orbit around us just like a boomerang.

She also teaches Philosophy of life on part time basis,

And, corrects your English in erroneous places.

She’s the first non-vegetarian amongst VAMPS,

And she always wanted her photo on the postage stamps.

But, the internet age killed her fascinating dream,

Now she wants her name on top of the twitter trending stream!!!

She’s well equipped with the ingredients for making ‘Khayaali Pulaao’,

And you will never be able to decipher what & how?

She actually cooks it well and serves you hot,

And after garnishing it with intellectual sauces, it’s placed on your mental pot! ;)

The whole process is patented and very nicely designed,

So, don’t try to copy else you’ll be heavily fined !!!

A lot many things are yet to be told,

about this girl who’s beautiful and bold (in that order);

The stories of her spectacles, smart phone and driving sense,

is being kept reserved as next part of the suspense!

#Written as a token of love for my dear friend Suchandra on her birthday.

Decoding Gandhi (Partially)

The actual set-up for recording Gandhi Katha

Gandhi’s experiences were shared by Mr.  Narayan Desai,

I attended the same without knowing ‘WHY?’

Was it the quest to know his character well?

Or was it a hunger to grasp the essence of something worth to tell?

‘Why Gandhi’ remains a question for me,

Is it because of his Leadership skills or his popularity is the key?

He appear to have strived to win hearts of the people,

But was the agenda to become a “Mahatma” of uncountable disciple(s)?

He was intellectual, he walked fast,

He maintained his public life to long last.

He went to an extent of saving the life of people during partition homicide,

But, called the trials of brave patriots: a self-dug pit of suicide.

He elevated the untouchables,

And appear to have work for their cause,

But was it his style of making a new society,

A new category that came for his applause!

He preached non-violence throughout his life,

But can he be justified for not saving a Revolutionary’s life?

Initially his ideas were amicably proposed,

Which over a period of time he imposed,

‘Fasting’: the best trick to blackmail,

‘The brahmastra’ that never fail(ed).

He did blend fearlessness with non-violence,

As an innovative way of promoting his wide presence;

The concept evolved to rescue people in partition pain,

But was it more of Gandhi’s than peoples’ gain?

He failed to give ‘The Freedom Fight’ a finishing touch,

The state where expectations of people were very much;

His competence of eloquence & truthfulness gave way,

Raising an unanswered question:

“Was he sidetracked from his own play?”

Date: 19^th August 2013

Occasion: After attending two thought provoking sessions on Gandhiji’s idea of Ahimsa & Truthfulness (Gandhi Katha, narrator: Mr. Narayan Desai)

Place: Ahmedabad

Life @ EDI (uncensored)

After spending a month here,

The hazy picture is a bit clear;

EDI pushes you to dream dare and deliver,

And, serves a scoop of management in entrepreneurship flavor.

While, some take it as a race for finishing first,

Others believe in satisfying their thirst;

Very few are the ones, who rise above this haste,

They take it easy and prefer enjoying the taste.

Now, moving on from this metaphorical accent,

I’ll tell you how the time was spent…….

The induction module stretched for 2weeks,

It was attended absolutely by the Geeks,

Outstation students went back to their home,

And the remaining ones chose Alpha-1, as the place to roam.

The guest lectures were an exciting affair,

Folks got a lot to share,

The pack consisted of entrepreneurs, alumni & a freedom fighter,

Their eloquence turned out to be a real ignitor.

The entrepreneurship was very well decoded,

The command: ‘Keep the fire burning’ was perfectly loaded;

Business jargons were also introduced in our life,

And the business idea was projected as our 1^st wife.

I know most of you are bored listening to this E-matter,

Allow me to serve you a new platter,

This is full of your favorite cuisine,

With ingredients from hostel, mess and the college canteen.

We spent most of our time in making new friends,

Everybody promised each other of setting new trends,

Social media profiles were flooded with new pics,

Showcasing the talent of capturing ‘The Red Bricks’.

After teaming up with friends,

The sports field was brought back to life;

Some tossed the volley ball over the net,

Others used the TT table to survive.

Also, everybody munched on the Baraati khaana,

For a few days,

But, when the taste buds started eroding,

The Maggiewala provided alternative ways.

A few of those who enjoyed the meal,

Were busy negotiating some other deal,

They hunted for the AC room,

Which made them tired and they looked gloom.

And later when their wants were satisfied,

Their smile exhibited the practical example of ‘Customer delight’.

But, the cellphone signals are still a concern,

And, we still don’t know who can make it turn?

The bus ride to the Iskon mall,

Is another event worth to recall;

Everybody opted for taking up this call,

But, we did nothing accept increasing the number of foot fall(s).

With the advent of the seniors,

The EDI campus started to bustle,

And we praised them like our saviours,

From all types of trouble.

Now, as the course advances further,

The new avenues begin to nurture,

Till yesterday everything was new,

But, today onwards I’m an ‘EDIot’ just like you. 

#Fresher's party @ EDI

It's not about the bike!

It's an awesome feeling when you ride your own bike
It's a lot more than 'Shakira' on the mike,

When you press the clutch,
It gives an adrenalin rush,

When you pump up the accelerator,
The bike turns into a narrator;

The roaring engine also starts to seduce you,
It actually happens I didn't have the clue !

Mechanical-B Mechanical Bhi

Finally,
The time has come to bid farewell to my dear friends,
With whom I took the oath of setting new Mechanical Engineering trends.

Oops,
I think I got a bit emotional while stating the above line,
Who cares to be a trendsetter, when everything is running smooth and fine.
So, instead of making this conversation technically sad,
Give me a chance to turn you MAD,
Here is a descriptive story of B Section guys,
Enjoy this poem with the Coke and French fries.

Starting with the HUNKY guy,
Who’s unbeatable how hard you may try,
Only 1411 left and He’s one of them,
Rupesh -‘The SHER’ is really a glittering gem.

Now, think of something very lean,
2 words will strike your mind,
Daredevil Rakesh Kumar is the only one of its kind.

Hey, do you know Mr. Bean?
Who ridicule you without uttering a word,
Shambhu Shukla plays the same character,
But he acts cleverly not as a nerd.

Just opposite of him is Vishnukant Jha,
Who keeps on chattering throughout the day,
And when you ask him to cut the crap,
‘Dost ho kar aisaa karega?’ is what he’ll say.

Pradeep Patel follows the same trail,
And utters ‘Technical’ rubbish without any fail,
He and Sudhanshu shares their experiences well,
For every topic they always have something new to tell.

Far away from all this,
We have one saint in our class,
The calm and quite ‘Sant Saurabh Das’.
You won’t find him doing anything absurd,
He is in real terms a man of few words.

The group of 6 members is worth mentioning,
It includes Aproop, Vipin, Vivek, Sankalp, and Sumit Singh.
The group is mixture of dazzlers and freaks,
They have range of information from bikes to Chicks.
Varun Pratap is the 6th member,
Whose name all teachers remember,
He’s good at tossing the chalks around,
And possess great talent of creating unusual sounds.

The most famous character of our section,
Who never forgets one thing to mention,
To thank Mr. Bill Gates for the PowerPoint feature,
That aids his presentation with animated picture.
He’s none other than Mr. Prashant K. Gupta,
Also known as ‘Chappy-The Chapman’, jo kabhi nahi rukta.

Next comes the Hip-Hop guy,
Who wears metallic bangles as his lucky charm.
Rahul Patel hai uska naam,
He lives and works on online farms.

The 3V battery is another group of friends,
Where Vipin and Vikas are the two ends,
Vikram is also connected to them,
Hi-Fi talks let the current flow through them.

Do you know who’s the most ‘Jugaadoo’ guy?
Prakhar Bothra is his name,
I just don’t know why,
But this ‘Doctor’ knows shortcut of every mind game.

‘SHORTAGE OF WATER!!!’,we don’t fear,
Because we have 2 Sagars (Sahu & P.) in our class,
But the problem is a bit different here,
One runs after the girls and other rarely attends the class.

Who’s the leader of our class?
It’s quite clear form his name,
Siddharth Gandhi is the guy,
If any faults found, he’s to be blamed.

From the field of sports,
When a reporter reports,
3 names always comes up,
Rohan, Saurabh Singh and Saurav Kashyap.

There is one, who’s just opposite,
Whom I’ve never seen in casual outfit,
He’s the bookworm and wears bold spects,
For this crime, Rahul Uttamani is the prime suspect.

Srijan Chandrakar shares the same temperament,
The guy keeps low profile but he’s highly intelligent.

Who’s ‘Tech Savvy’ amongst all of us?
This question is not a big fuss,
Subhashish Nandi is the answer,
Contact him for Ppts and other file transfers.

You can find 2 ‘WANTED’ tags,
Tied to everybody’s’ bag,
It’s difficult to find them anywhere,
Vivek and Prakash Soni are the Hide ‘n’ Seek players.

Next one is the guy, gifted with sophisticated features,
Who appears to be a foreign based creature,
The gentle appearance and stupendous accent of his voice,
Makes Rishabh Bajaj unquestionably the right choice.

Saikat Mukherjee exhibits an extraordinary skill,
He keenly donates blood without a RE-FILL.
When his companion Shubham is around,
Be sure of something mischievous to be found.

Do you know who’s the DON?
Arre...apne Vidya bhaiyaa aur kaun,
Shaant swabhaav ke vyakti hain ye,
Pata nahi log inse kyun hain darrte?
‘GURUJI’ ke naam se hain jaane jaate,
‘N.S.S’ ki Sevabhavnaa ka path hain padhaate.

Who’s the coolest guy here?
Say it loud without any fear,
Funky clothes is what he wears, 
His concept of life is very clear,
Live to the fullest and make it large,
‘The TOPIWALA Sardar’ is our ‘Sartaaj’.
Satdeep Singh Arora is his name,
Full entertainment is assured when he’s in the game.

Next comes the 5 member troop,
Abrar Bhai is the leader of this group,
Sujit & Narendra are the associate members,
Omprakash & Amol are the defenders.
The group is all about LAZY chaps,
Though they are entertaining despite their craps.

At last, come the 3 Gentlemen,
‘PIYUSH’ is the term common in them,
With Chandraker, Patel and Agrawal as their surnames,
They should be treasured in Mechanical’s HALL OF FAME.

So, the poem is over for your delight,
And now you will get some respite.

Conclusion:-

1. Section-A only talks, but B-Section always Rocks !!! (Oops...)

KEEP SMILING........

Rakhi This Season

Rakhi This Season

Here comes the ‘RAKHSA BANDHAN’
The preparations are all done,
The ‘little’ brother is ready and even RAKHEES are set,
But, out of hope, his eyes turned wet,
The Tilak Thaali & Sweets are there,
But, he hardly find his SISTERS anywhere.

He sorrowfully realized that he is alone,
And has to please himself talking with them on the PHONE.

He remembered the old days
Of excitement and twist(s),
About the sweets he swallowed
And the count of RAKHEES on his wrist ;
How his sisters received the gifts with airs,
And wore the attitude of ‘Who cares…!!! ’.
Now,
He wanted to express his despair,
But, he thought ‘Will it be fair??? ’
He discerned their unavailability & helplessness,
And cherished their old days of togetherness.

Then, an idea clicked with a sound,
You must be wondering what he found!!!
He thought of another RAKHI to celebrate this season,
And the media hype was the basic reason,
Although She is done with Elesh Prajunwala,
And he wondered ‘ki usne (Elesh) ne apni life ke saath kya kar dala ???’
Suddenly, he heard a scream,
And woke up from his Early Morning DREAM….

[FYI -The Rakhi mentioned above is RAKHI SAWANT & the media hype was- RAKHI SAWANT KA SWAYAMWAR]

Date -05/Aug/2009

Occasion- RakshaBandhan

-Piyush

KEEP SMILING........
