A NEW JOURNEY to a new place


we don’t know them neither do they

It starts with a hello, innocent and kind,

no expectations, no preconceptions,

and slowly turns to heartfelt thoughts,

consideration and sometimes toleration.

Through good days and bad, always there

words of wisdom and encouragement.

Advice always welcomed, advice always lovingly giving.

Loss and win are part of life but to understand

them through words is an art of life and

these words were always there, always close, never far away

distances shortened with every word they said.

True feelings of concern, for health and happiness

a deep trust growing for them which once were strangers.

Honesty, trust and love of a friendship always growing

for my long distance friends, now and forever.

What started as a HELIOS is now my rock, Solid and dependable.

 

THANKS to everyone.

KURUKSHETRA- The Land of Warriors

 

Here come the warriors, the champions of all

Kurukshetra in campus, standing tall

The game, its intensity will be matched by none

And none can take away its elements of fun.

Night outs are something which happen everyday

Kuruk is our work, and only kuruk is our play

We spend the whole time, every moment in kuruk

We live in kuruk, we dream in kuruk

We don’t care for lectures, we don’t worry for grades

Because in our mind only kuruk prevails

Its not just in my mind, it is in my soul

Kuruk is my aim and only kuruk is my goal

Life before kuruk wasn’t bad either

It was full of fun, frolics and glitter

Its just that kuruk gave a new dimension

And that I feel is worth appreciation

Hardships in kuruk will always be

Together we’ll fight and together we’ll see

Overcoming these hurdles is part of the game

We don’t do it for name, and neither for fame

Each & every kurukite feels from within

Whatever be the case, only kuruk will win

You may call us freak, we will never mind

As we are the only one of our kind

Kuruk rocks and rocks Xpressions

And we at XIMB are filled with jubilation

XIMB knows and so do the rest

That wherever you go, kuruk is the best

Mid Xpressions fever…..comes Durga Puja holidays…a gap of more than a week for juniors…a bit less for the seniors…everyone seems to be ecstatic bout going home..a bunch of guys movin out to Jammu for a vacation…..some people visiting ‘distant friends’..(distant not of the distance…but cos ur doin an MBA..hardly gives u time for frens…) ….but is everyone going wid the same happiness as they did the first time…am talking bout a few(a few alrite but still sounds gud enuff) a few who wud have preferred stayin back…and working on the Xpressions fever..yes the fever has caught hold of all….for some its a bit low…but for some ther seems to be no cure..but working towards the goal of makin Xpressions bigger than ever..life will be a lot duller for the next few days….and am sure every one will long to come back to the place where we all belong….i hereby salute them…on behalf of all and sundry for the passion….and the fire they’ve shown which cud have inspired many a coups ……the oil that burns the midnight lamp….the eyes that havent seen sleep for many a days now…i hereby salute the spirit…

will catch you all in some days…in 10 days i think….it sounds short for a holiday starved MBA student….but a bit too long for the XPRESSIONS starved XIMBian…

till then…happy durga puja..hope u have a good time at home…

with the passing of each day, as Xpressions comes closer we realise that sleep is something which we had heard of eons ago.. who are we …Kurukites…yeah dats we have been called since we came to existence…for us naps are more realistic..(…except of course..some people like me.still manage to slip in a few hours of sleep every couple of days..) every morning at 5:30 or 6 u see people walking out of the Acad Block with laptops …and u can say without any shred of doubt….”That has to be a Kurukite”.. i seriously dont know how many people wud have seen the morning sun before they started working on Kuruk but i can swear that everyone has by now…seen many more sunrises than they ever saw in their life before Kurukshetra…but we had been warned hadnt we….the story goes back to the first couple of weeks of 1st term when the whole campus was buzzing with people asking each other “which game are u joining?”…i had doubtfully answered “..Arrey interview diya hun Kuruk ka…dekhte hain kya hoga..”…now dat am here and working my a@# off for Kurukshetra..losing sleep over dry runs….i realise that this is wat i had asked for….our seniors had warned us repeatedly…Kurukshetra is not for the weaker hearts…we knew we were strong enough to handle it….and we have been tested …but the best part of it is no one seems to be complaining..(..ok people who are can meet me afterwards.. :P)

the Bon homie that we share….after working hours in the CC…the satisfaction out of completing the work in scheduled time….the elation of fixing a bug…or an error…..the fun in watching people scurry to diff people in market to sell something..i think that the sleepless nights are worth it…. i dont think ther’s ne one who is complaining….. and this time am serious…..

sleep….wats dat???…..exactly the way it sounds…..
