Miracle

Nineteen years, three hundred and forty nine days,

Gone like the early gush of wind beneath my ear,

Nineteen winters, nineteen summers,

And nineteen months of rain later,

The nineteenth autumn is about to come. 

And the road is still full of dry leaves,

It makes a sound when I step on it.

Birds are chirping away, The sky is a sad blue,

Beyond the mountains I see a door,

A door that calls my name,

I am still walking on the stones,

The breeze is flowing through my hair.

And the door still does not open.

This is the pain worth nineteen autumns

And nineteen winters and nineteen summers.

And nineteen months of rain later

One voice is just what I want  to hear.

Soothing and meaningful,

But maybe there are nineteen more winters,

And nineteen more summers,

And nineteen more  months of rain..

P.S: To be continued (When the door opens and the miracle happens)

Depression

As I fall asleep at exactly 3 am,

I feel disturbed by the thought of the next 8 am.

As the clock on my wall strikes eight,

I tend to twitch my stomach muscles tight.

Here comes another day,

Another day and another night,

Even with an extra day, nothing seems right..

The classroom looks empty,

The white-board looks black,

With more than 55 people around me,

One friend next to me, is exactly what I lack.

Somebody opens the window,

The salty breeze flows in.

It chokes my throat, I hope I die,

But the Heavens don't allow me in.

The classes seem dull,

The high-pitched laughter is dead,

A voice is all I can hear,

Giving me goose-bumps and making my skin red.

They say it's my life, happy or sad

They say I should love it, good or bad.

But before I can think on a happy note,

The day is over and the darkness has come.

I shiver and shake and curl up on my bed,

I pull a blanket and a drop of tear, I shed.

And as I fall asleep at exactly 3 am,

I feel depressed by the thought of 8 am..

Green House- B (The Trial of Saddam Hussein)

You are the best team members I have ever had. Sid, Jubin, Tulip, Varun, Vikas and Prasidh!! I am not sure if we did justice to the project but we had put in a lot effort into the project.

Even though there were negative comments, our hard work has been appreciated by 70% of the population(No I am not lying). I also thank my political science Guru Dr. Afroz Alam, who has helped us all in making the presentation a success.

And lastly, Mr. Saddam Hussein May your soul rest in peace..
