The Volcano Erupts and My Lava Breaks Out…

My head’s now a torture cell,

My mind rings like a harness bell.

 

Intellectual tumor seems to spread,

Watch the fungus grow, on the musty bread.

 

Those mines and explosives, you planted in my head,

Transformed my thumping heart, down into a plunger red.

 

The Bomb disposal squad, on one of your hands,

Detonator in the other hand, makes me fall in no man’s lands.

 

My every scream, like a scene on silver screen,

My every single artery, smells like Tri-Nitro-Toluene…

Homecoming…

Semester 2 has ended and so the troops are finally returning back after fighting at the fronts for nearly ten months…! This is the time when the brats will re-indulge themselves into their leisure time fantasies after successfully escaping the Juvenile Hell*…! While the administrative staff of the Juvenile Hell is busy in converting the status of the brats-at-large from “freshmen” to “sophomores”, using the static_cast<type-id>* operator…!

I wish you all a very prolific summer vacations…

 

* Juvenile Hell: The jail/prison for criminal children…

* static_cast<type-id>: An operator used in C++ to convert data of one type to another…

NUCES FAST callin’…!

 

Settled down in the point bus,

Turning out to be a figure of fuss,

I’m feeling tremendously low,

“Stayed up all night” is what my eyes show,

NUCES FAST callin’ “20 miles to go…!”

 

Trying to do this for a while, with my eyes dark brown,

Let the curtains with the “black lashed frill” draw down,

With the intent to recharge my eyes for the later blow,

So that they not malfunction and do look to glow,

NUCES FAST callin’ “19 miles to go…!”

 

Uh oh! I’ve got plenty of wounds to bleed,

Physics assignment, Cal quiz, inducing the GPA greed,

Should I study right now or just let ‘em go?

Close my eyes, “study monster”, in the backyard should I throw?

NUCES FAST callin’ “10 miles to go…!”

 

With my face, drowsiness written allover,

With a self soothing spirit, “game’s yet not over”,

In the mind, “integral” signs or array of “ZZZZZ” to flow?

Still deciding, dive in books or for a nap should I go!

NUCES FAST callin’ “just half a mile to go…!!!!”

This is…My story. Your story. The story of the morning expedition filled with pandemonium, of all the humans who come under the “FASTian” tag…Dedicated to my friend Beena, one of the better under standers of this situation!
