Dear ‘Class of 2007’ boys
You have fought many battles, no less than that of
Three years back in the summers of 2004
You graced me with your presence when the rains would pour
You brought in diverse cultures, coming from places all
Tamil Nadu, UP,
You united, you stood, you were tough and very strong
And all sorrows became laughter, always coupled with a song
You mellowed in my womb, you played and had fun
You teamed up in the fields at the rise of the morning sun
No matter if there was an exam, no matter if you were sick
Friday nights for you always meant a unanimous Amba flick
Then one fine night, I witnessed thunder and lightning
All you children fought in the quest to be the King
It took a year to build a bond, but now it only took a stroke
You all divided, things went haywire, relationships broke
I think about the changes today, while you depart
The way you drank and smoked and intoxicated my heart
The way you complained of how my men cook
The way you opened a newspaper supplement instead of a book
I thought of each one’s victories, I looked back and smiled
And today I proudly say to my sister, there goes my child
I’ve moulded you well for the cruel world, I’ll forget you never
You’ve left your imprints inside me forever
