Placement Time

This rhyme expresses the views of many BITSIANS who have waited for this moment eagerly but as it approaches near they gets drowned in the feeling of .......yada yada yada.......

Read it enjoy it and see if you can find yourself in it:

I came to Pilani, as a guy,
Who was stupid, and very shy.

I studied, Or rather tried to study.
Grades I got, Were mostly C and D.

Now the CDCs have gone, and the placement time has come,
When I meet the Probable candidates , they looks simply awesome.

Companies are many, but the target is one,
To get into it, extreme efforts, people have done.

Everyone thinks himself impeccable, having attained perfection,
In their own words, let me give you certain illustrations.

I’am small, my CGPA is high,
And My mama says I’m the best guy.

Of a big organization, I was the secretary,
So I will be a big Gun, in their territory.

Three hundred students were there, and I was their Coordinator,
My Experience shows, in that company I will be an ideal administrator.

Famous I’m for my dedication and sincerity,
Everyone believes I can perform any task with dexterity.

On the whole campus, I am most beautiful,
So I can keep company’s employees very dutiful..

My arms are big, and body is strong
Undoubtedly I ‘m the best candidate that can come along..

Intelligent I am, and the stamina is high,
So my application, how can they deny?

20 cigarettes I smoke daily, and a quarter I do drink,
In Jungles of Nigeria or snowfields of Siberia, I can survive without a blink.

When it come to crypto or breaking of code,
Friends let me tell you its my own abode.

I was created in this world to talk, so God for the first stage let us make an accord,
Let my resume get selected once, In the GD/interview I’ll show them my real sword.

My achievements are many, and certificates uncountable,
Oh my God! How will I fit them In the space allowable.


May be I look more like a boy but I heard for girls they have a quota,
Thinking of this gives me joy, that my chances are there though iota.

In such a scenario, Some time I enjoy some time I fear,
Now I have decided, that it’s the time for me to disappear.

Qualities are many, but no one knows what they want from us,
One thing is for sure, that most of them will end up with a BUS.

It looks like you took quite a bit of time writing this poem. Poetry is just something that was not my gift. I always wished that it was. Yours is funny and has a great wit to it. It shows that you have a very funny side to you, am I correct? Thanks for the poem. K.C.

yeah..it took time, but finally came out to be good. I won't claim that I have a funny side...but I do look at things differently sometime. Or rather I shud say, in a way in which I think that people generally thinks.

Thanks for your comments shr and KC.

Prankur, Looks like you have taken quite a lot of presumptions about other people's goals while writing this poem while you can only say about your own aspirations with a guarantee!

It is funny yet the silent mockery of everyone from whom you got inspiration and referred to (very blatantly) was hardly appropriate for a public forum... Anywaz, you know best what you were thinking while sending this for the magazine... Best of luck and keep writing!

Pranks said...

@ the silent breeze....This is work of fiction and yes I do have that much freedom to assume anything in my fictional work. Without knowing anything how can you preassume this that it is based on certain specific persons, this is simply stupid and idiotic. On the basis of the comments I have received, every third person who has read this, believes that he/she himself/herself gets fit in somewhere or the other.

It is written in such a generalized form, and your comment has made me momentarily angry but on seeing the effect it has created in you I'm very glad now that my piece of writing has been taken that well by great poets like you, that you are not able to demarcate fiction with reality.

Okk..so u can write(and more importantly, RHYME !!). what's best is that I can associate every line with some loser out here..Let the silent breeze pass silently..Keep writing..

prankur tum god ho
aisi tippandiya kar
befikar bekhabar
tum hum kacchi ladkiyon mein rod ho

baat ki gehrai mein
aisa lagaya hai tumne gota
yaar tumhari gre vocab ka
main bhi hoga fan one iota

yun likhna kabhi na choddna
sacchai ki kashti mein na dolna
duniya toh aegi
fir deh jaegi
par inn shabdon ki parchai
boss zaroor reh jayegi

kudos !!

It was great fun reading this poem and thinking about how people around me fit into this composition!!
Must have read it about a dozen times now and enjoyed it immensely each time.
You keep getting better and better Pranks...
