To Sanity, In An Insane Land

This is dedicated to the bunch of geeks that I ran into in my first semester at IIT Kharagpur and who, today, in their own stupid ways, make me feel like alive and kicking, even when I'm "Rock-Bottom-Ten Feet of Crap and then Me" :D


I know you will beg me to sleep if my eyes look too red

When the gate's locked, you'll make me jump over the wall instead :P

When you finally get hold of that bike, I know you'll take me for a ride :)

And when the crowds are all around, I know you will be right beside ..

You'll just point and laugh when I'm all covered in paint,

And then buy loads of turpentine to make it grow faint.

You'll grow a beard just to be in character,

And message me in the middle of the night because "Pyramids are better" :)

When I'm all down and out, you'll shake a leg with me

And declare nicknames right where the world can see

You'll make me so frusst I'd call you "Totally headless"

And then you'll play that song you know makes me speechless..

Even if its from oceans apart and different time zones, you'll call me and say "I'll help"

You'll point at a stupid doodle I make and with pride, you'll swell :D

When D-Day is just around the corner, you'll whisper in everyone's ear

"Always keep paper soap, no time to bath, dear."

You'll fight the moneyed men tooth and nail,

So we too can have a bigger sail.

You'll creep up and click a photograph when I'm all in glee,

And make me feel so conscious of my ":E"

Then will come the brilliant lights and not-so-sleepy noons

The night long soirees that will flow by, too soon.

Four days out of every Three Sixty Five,

I know I shall have the Time Of My Life.


Team Robotix Forever :)
