A Friend of mine……………………………..
A friend of mine…..,
Benevolent to me as sunshine,
Had strands of hair as porcupine,
Shared baseless ramblings with confidence divine,
Such was a friend of mine…..
We sat for hours over a bottle of wine,
And took depart only once the clock struck nine.
We knew each girl in class, by their name and roll numbers,
Still toiled hard together, to get their phone numbers.
Seated in the library, we evaluated the girls by their looks,
Getting caught in the act, had to scamper for books.
Never to fall for a girl, was the oath we had taken,
But promises, like eggs, were meant to be broken.
For us, getting ready was just a ten minute affair,
Of which, eight minutes were spent in grooming the face and
the hair.
We were always first
for food or college bus,
But for labs & classes, we never had the same inrush.
An hour in class seemed like a living hell,
While the same time span in the cafeteria went so well.
We had well in advance planning for outings and trips,
But we always took the exams at our own risks.
We managed our precious time for cricket or football,
But extra classes at college weren’t ever lucky to have our
footfall.
Finally the placement season showed its arrival,
And thus began the ultimate battle 0f survival.
We worked out the hardest in our life,
And one could easily see the zeal in our strive.
And thereby passed, life’s phase of transition,
We both had secure decent job positions.
Both of us got placed in different reputed organizations,
The only difference was in their podium positions.
Then came, what eluded us for the last three years,
To my best friend, I was no longer too dear.
Though I got the job most coveted,
But I lost my friend, whom I was closely associated.
Till date nobody dared to seperate our ways ,
But now bitterness in our relationship had its stay .
On the eve of our graduate valediction,
We were finally able to grease up our friction.
While there was hugs and best wishes all around ,
He expressed his grief through sobs and tears profound.
Love
