Struggling to survive,

Working day and night in our own beehive.

Erasing, to forget an enjoyable way on account of parents, now it’s our turn, choice, and solidity to drive,

Let’s go! the real race is live.

Stay obsessive and alive!

Keeping an elan eye everywhere,

Considering even roommates as thieves here.

Physically you are going to the washroom but mentally your mind is still there,

At night too, caring luggage as well as their keys as a slack watchman but can’t spare.

Performing everything with an investigation but care.

Trying to stay motivated with motivational life facts,

Success is when your inimitable thoughts become facts and those stunning facts have a life-changing influence over someone’s life.

As quoted in the book Pedagogical Thoughts Made Facts.

It’s our mindset and opinion, you know,

Learning to wake up early and initiating first because you are lazy and slow.

Or removing your characteristic of being slow.

Or being negligent and not doing anything because you are so slow.

But still, thwack is required in life to make you learn, how to wake up and really grow.

Comparing our lives with those brave soldiers, our backbone,

Surviving far away from our home.

The phase of homesickness, being alone,

Family worried and missing us and vice-versa, bearing symptoms of this syndrome.

We, especially the boys, try to look brave and emotionless than we are, existing and feeling alone.

At home, commanding cooks to get perfect flavour and taste,

Learning here to respect and digest nutritional food to wake up the next day, proving flavour’s lust was just waste.

To lose, things are many,

But to gain, things are hardly any.

Still sacrificing to achieve something as our dreams are not only high but many.

Keeping in mind, neither to waste time nor a single penny.
