When the clock strikes 11:55

Its been really a long time since  last wrote here. In fact its been 2 months now. I'm into my mid sem break now. Hope you are eager to here more because I'm extremely eager to write some words on this casual notepad of mine. So here goes a small poem which is attached very deeply to the life of all Computer Science people here at IITD.....

As the clock approaches 11:55
All our bodily functions seem to speed up
Our fingers move on the keypad
as bees in a beehive
when the clock approaches 11:55

As the clock approaches 11:55
the heart seems to fluuter loudly
as if dancing to the jive
when the clock approaches 11:55

As the clock approaches 11:55
our mind seems to think much better
and the ideas come out much faster
and into a world of algos* we dive
when the clock approaches 11:55

As the clock approaches 11:55
and we find ourselves unable to fight
we roam about here and there 
to find an assignment on which we could thrive
when the clock approaches 11:55

As the clock slowly ticks to 11:55
and the assignment is finally complete
we quicly submit it and thank god
that we could survive
when the clock finally strikes 11:55

Signing off...
A CS 1st year student

PS
1) Writing after a long time, hope it was not too bad.....
2) I'm sure CS guys must have remembered all their past assignment submissions while reading this :D
3) Comments and experiences invited :)

*algos = computer algorithms

  1. This poem is too short to have all the emotions associated with the subject. You have just barely scratched the surface.
