Diary of a fresher

I entered this Institute with great amount of expectations and anxieties in our minds, it all looks diminutive under the tranquil beauty of this place, IIT Kharagpur.

Dear diary, here I thank my fate

As I look at the impregnable gate

On either side the difference lies

Of the intellectual; lows and highs.

My journey starts with the academic section

With knowledge and duty's intersection

Main Building, standing tall with gratification

Dedicated to the service of the Nation.

A little wonder of God and the work of man's,

contribute to this surreal expanse.

Surrounded and protected, I'm in nature's keep

with such heavenly splendor, even the Gods weep.

As I get lost in the labyrinth of beauty

I shall remember that it is my duty

To become a part of this celestial dome

And let my heart sing "This is home".
