Reminiscing College Life

Day 1 - started with searching for a room,

For a batch of 250 in the Economics class,

And little did we assume,

How Gargi would be able to surpass!

Well, what we thought was:

All girl’s college means no fun.

But who knew Gargi was the cause,

Of an exciting phase that had just begun.

“Kshitj society” is the highlight,

And performs street plays,

Seems like it practices even in the moon light,

And, on sunny days.

When the stock markets were high,

And advertising was no more shy,

When the economics department was doing its best,

We knew it was the time for “NAAC” and Econovation: Ecomantra’s Annual fest.

I remember the 8 hour revision sessions

Just before the test;

And solving those problems on regressions

Occupied major part of the quest.

Undoubtedly it is the teachers,

Who have played a major role.

They have been our encouraging mentors

And helped us achieve our goal.

We called them for the term paper submission

One night before the deadline.

Thank God, it was not a prohibition,

And they still guided us, they did not decline.

Sitting for hours in the sports ground

under the sun in winters was relaxing.

We saw NCC and sports people around

that the time passed so quick while interacting.

We also experienced the beautiful sky with chirping birds,

The other side some geeks and nerds.

Some clicked selfies in the noon,

While some were under stress in the exam room.

The discussions on various topics in the soothing atmosphere

Began from love to agony of a disease to bear.

Life teaches us something new every day,

But we should learn to obey.

Being in Public Media Relations society had so many perks:

From the backstage fun and star night

To learning how sponsorship works

And making MOUs right.

Zistatva and Reverie (college fests) have been grand;

Reminiscing the performances of “Sparks” and the music band.

For the pre-jitters we had Aditya Roy Kapoor;

Hugging him was the next level crazy Fitoor.

At Nescafe- the deep conversations

Are what I also miss.

We also discussed about politics of nations

Over coffee and “Thelka sandwich” which were indeed a bliss.

College and Ecomantra became my Family

At Gargi I lived happily.

Thinking about the memories,

I feel, good passing years never mar:

Experiences great or small,

have made us who we are.

College life was pretty:

In its nitty and gritty.

Strive for excellence and never yield to challenges that come your way,

Because each path brings in a new ray.

Live each moment Now!

Don’t question yourself How!

Consider special people, who you love and care,

And others who enriched your life, just being there.

Seek new vistas and find noble goals,

Experience and enjoy life in different roles.

Feel the beauty in each creature,

Whose presence makes life worth living in nature.

I hope you also feel deep in your heart,

As incidents come and go,

How much Gargi means to me,

It is lot more than you could know.

Thank you, Gargi College!
