Damp steam rises from my coffee,
Clouds my glasses, makes me dreamy,
Reminds me of my perfect life so clearly
Of the time when i first learned to walk,
My playschool, that little girl in the cute frock,
My cat, my frog and my little dog
Of my friends who made school so cool,
My teachers, a few of whom thought I was a fool,
Of my best friend, with whom I lost my cool
Of my buddies with whom I played all day,
Harrying my mom, Troubling her all day,
Of the little one, how we dreamt up games everyday
Of college and the superfun train,
Of wading through water in the glorious rain,
Of IITJEE which almost made me insane!
Of graduation, which seemed so long
Of first love and all the complications that come along,
Of friends that are dear even after so long
Of my first job and Bangalore!
Of my roomies with whom I had fun galore!
Of my greatest success - going to Indore!
Of MBA and all the in-class naps,
Of stupid professors who would snap,
Of finding not friends but brothers, it was well worth all the crap
Time to reboot, stowe away the old,
To make my name, get it etched in gold,
To reheat the coffee, its got really cold! :P
