A Perfect Wailer
Ronald Keisham *
How easy it could have been if a day scholars we were;
And not being a weirdo from half way across the country!
They live a cherished moment feeling of warmth and cosiness of a home;
And us we thrive here and there, hostels, apartment all the same, what may!
Just to say they are puff up, pampered with all the homely attires;
Well life it is in a hostel, lights music, get it going all night long !
What's up with those looks the snarl, the mush mush not to enter their territory;
So what else can be done, "enjoy the life inside your own piece of apple bugger"!
They seem all sincere, sincere as hell can be;
If not parents weren't hanging overhead like a pendulum, well not sure!
Even teachers ridiculously ask to stay along the whole academic periods;
Well silly as you can be to ask if they ever been off town more than a week!
Even the climate, these weather, what a hassle it is;
And the temperature difference of 5 to 10 degree, does make a !
Most importantly the faculty favours them;
Acting as if we weren't there at all!
Misconception as I thought it would be;
Even the locals do ask, why it always has to be you!
Attitude or the straight forwardness what else could it be;
Well some people don't like going all the way around as you can say!
If we are that much intolerable why the intake, what a pity, perhaps rules;
Well the rumour is I don't believe in snuggling behind people kissing arse.
No matter what so ever I am what I am;
Trying to make a difference, an identity of my own, no fakes no makeovers!
