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

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

Farewell!!!

No friends, I'm not going away. The title indicates my farewell from home as I'm going back to college tomorrow :). It also indicates a temporary break from frequent blogging. But nevertheless, this is not the last words that you'll get from me :P

It hurts to say goodbye
But I've to go back to IIT
where time just seems to fly
doing some work and study
and at the same time doing bakaiti

It hurts to say hasta la vista
But I've to go back to IIT
near which we have a barista
where we spend some time free
over a cup of tea or coffee

It hurts to bid farewell
But I've to go back to IIT
where we experience both heaven and hell
because it has both the hostel मस्ती
and the pressure of getting a good CG*

But all I hope that all goes great
in this new semester , this new year
I'll definitely try to bring my CG to 8
so that I won't always have to fear
and end another semester in tear.

PS
1) I'll definitely return but not as often as I could in the holidays.
2) Hope you continue to like me and read and suggest my words to others even when I'm away.

*CG = CGPA(Cumulative Grade Point Average) which is the method of evaluation in the IIT.

MMXI

Well, the googlers might have figured out my title easily but for those who didn't, its the roman representation for 2011 (as potrayed in google's latest doodle). So here's me wishing all of my readers a very Happy and Prosperous new year...

Here's wishing you all a Happy New Year
As usual, time just flew by without us knowing
Passing away all in a whirlwind
Possibly for me one of the most life changing
Year 2010 saw me swim through tests as if I was finned

Much more work lies ahead of me this year
More tasks need to be finished, but
Xperience of 2010 was something full of both fun and fear
In which I had both ranks and party cakes waiting to be cut

This year I should be making a resolution to study
O God, but that's what in 2010 I did in plenty

A. Tayal now craves for a change from the hectic routine
Looms ahead a great trouble for me if I go for the change, but
Lies in the change, the way of life that's the best for a teen :D

The words of the little me-5

Friends, this is the very last time that you'll find master Abhishek yield his pen on my blog. Hope your journey with him has been great. So i present you the very last time, Master Abhishek...

Hi all. This is the very last time that you'll be seeing my words. I'm a bit sad but what can I do, bhaiya has to go to IIT on Monday. But nevertheless hope you this one. It's titled 'mother earth'

Our mother Earth,
is the best of all.
She pulls us up,
not letting us fall.

She is made of
water and land
holding us all
in her hand.

She is nice,
beautiful and green.
We should d our best
to keep her clean.

She gives us food
to drink and eat.
Now she is heavy,
we should make her a seat.

Bye all...

2) Hoped you liked this last attemp of him.( Please like his last attempt for his sake :) )

The bullet marks on the wall

Well friends you may have guessed it by the title that I'll be taking you all to Jallianwala Bagh today. It really grieved my heart to see those marks as it reminded me of General dyer and his infamous deed. Hope his soul never rests in peace......

The only sound to be heard that day
was of those deadly bullets that Dyer fired
it even deadened the sound of the screaming
of the poor Indians who got killed that day

13th April was the date that day
the Indians had just gathered in a silent procession
but Dyer had to show off the English strength
for which he could get no better day

when all people unaware of the curfew that day
had come to the jallianwala bagh for a meeting
Dyer then sealed the only enrance and
killed nearly 1000 people in a single day

Alas, it was really a tragic day
people running here and there to save their lives
but with the only entrance sealed
many jumped into the well that day

1650 rounds of bullets were fired that day
on a harmless crowd of nearly 15000
who just wanted to protest against the rowlatt act
but it was simply the wrong day

Why have i emphasised the word day?
cos that's the most important thing to be remembered
it was 13.04.1919 that all this happened
and I salute those who were martyered this very Day.
