The ITian

College was about to end

And Employers were at the door

Discussions and Interviews

Like there had been none before

Being selected as one

Was like winning a battle

And everywhere I’d see

Congratulations did rattle

The victory was ephemeral

And it soon meant losing

When time was to leave home

Family and friends, so loving

They say, “job-life’s boring”

And you gulp in fear

Alas! it is no less than fun

When you find new friends, dear

And it’s another world here

Framed in the cold block

With warm smiles and hope

A system, desk and a lock

The indolent youth

Spending four hours in college

Now spent nine in office

Working to gain knowledge

Within a month or two

We too became professional

Work and Responsibilities

And a personal life in parallel

Family would motivate

Bosses would guide

Colleagues would help

and we sail with the tide

“Priorities” is the word

We learned as we grew

From students to employees

Of such a change, who knew?

There are personalities

who inspire us to do more

there are speeches and sessions

and we learn from each chore

With high hopes and determination

We begin each day

With queries, sessions and tasks

Completing by the end of the day

Soon this too shall pass

then it all might seem black and white

But for now, let life be colored

It’s new; it’s fun and tomorrow seems bright...
