My Tryst With Red Bricks...

Its time for my graduation... and I felt like penning down my reflections on the last two years of my life, which I spent here at IIMA - the most memorable and fruitful years of my life...
This poem : a tribute to the much-loved famous red brick-walled campus at Ahmedabad...

'Neath the arches, the very first day
Nervous but eager, I entered the fray
Ambitious, excited, eager to please
That was me, to say the least

Two long years - the best I've had
Having fun and mugging like mad !
Friends I found, many and true
How the years passed ? I've no clue !

Evenings spent at the LKP
IIMA @ night : ablaze with glory
Then there was CT - our favourite haunt
For midnight snacks or a little jaunt

Chaos, Conflu, Combos came
Cases and b-plans - paths to fame
Mugging apart, they held the sway
We were dragged, gaily, into the fray

I learnt a lot, studies apart
To be confident and bold at heart
I learnt to be a true professional
Never, for me, was any moment dull

The brick-walled campus, red and soft
Made me a woman and held me aloft
Aloft for the world to gaze at me
And admire the sapling - now a tree

'Neath these arches, millions tread
And take with them, a piece of the red
Their souls, to this place, will remain tied
And the torch of IIMA, will be their guide.
