Farewell To the Seniors

Last week was the graduation ceremony of the batch just senior to mine. I had some very good friends among that batch and would miss them a lot. Here i dedicate this poem to all of them

Farewell my friends

I will not say good-bye

Yet I would say farewell

For we shall meet again

That I can foretell.

The future is unpredictable

Tomorrow is uncertain

Keep our laughs and memoirs

But I wish you have no burden.

Keep on learning and spread the light

Remain as students and become as mentors

Face the unknown with confident yearning

Pursue our life endeavors.

Farewell, my friends, adieu

I utter it with pain

Farewell, my friends, adieu

In sunshine or in rain.

Farewell, my friends, adieu

This day would come, we knew

Our dreams we shall pursue

For now, my friends, adieu.

I wish you all the very best for your future endeavors and hoping that you will always come up tops in whatever you take up. Will miss you all. Farewell(with tears in my eyes).....................

To be frank i have used some of the excuses myself many times :) and i know many people will agree with me on that fact :D

Yet another sem ends!!

A short but eventful semester finally ends bringing to me some relief and a much needed break. the semester was filled with events and it was so hectic that even if the semester was only for 3 months, i can say that it had lasted for more than that.
But I can proudly look back at the sem and say that i have done something because this is the semester that i secured placement. and also made some much needed progress in the academic region also :)
I made my second project this semester. The project was a media player which can play most of the file types available. and luckily it worked well. i got the second highest mark for project in my batch missing the top mark by the difference of 1 mark. :) But i was happy ccos the topper was one of my close friends.
The semseter also featured a technical fest which i'll remember most for the misunderstandings that happened during the planning and the implementation stage. But 'm not gonna dwell on it much but it did teach me some important things.
The last but not the least.. the exams. They were pretty good this time around. i usually have a paper in which i have a doubt. But this time when i look back i dont see any paper in which i can have a doubt on barring the lab exam( which i screwed up all by myself :) )
The semester ended by the graduation ceremony of the seniors. After they left my batch was the senior most in the college. i just cant believe that . :)
All in all a good semester. and as always hoping for an even better time next semester.
