Poem #2: Memoirs... of an year gone by..

A summary of that which happened here in our first year, by C. Vineeta.

 In a piece of land,
There was once nothing but sand;
Then came about a few intellectuals,
And thought why not use this to give BE’s and duals;
And so was born BITS at Hyderabad,
The vision and dream so many had had;
A section of youth came bustling along,
To make this their home and memories for lifelong;
Teens from all over the country,
Each unique and talented and knowledge hungry;
It was a crowd like none other,
For each had come on their own merit and bother;
Days went by & as the autumn wind blew along,
Shone a pearl, clear and long;
The first ever cultural fest,
A culmination of music, dance drama and jest;
Sports, photography, literature, art,
You name it and we did it with all heart;
And before we knew it,
The first sem had ended, and BITS was a rocking hit;
Back we came, fresh as the January dew,
The things we didn’t do were very few;
A science day to celebrate the geniuses,
A literary fest to enjoy the magic of clauses;
A trip to Goa, a visit to waves,
Made us proud and got us reviews rave;
A holi celebration so full of colours,
That even the bravest on campus had to take detours;
A Dramatics week, filled with drama, scripts and streetplay,
Was nothing short of an expert display;
So to the people of the world I would like to say,
That BITS Hyderabad is alive and kicking, and here to stay.
