Another Year Passed By

Another year passed by,
One more year went by,
The last year was wondrous,
And was incommensurable,
The year had promised a new advent,
And even, proved to be a memorable experience.

I am no more a geek,
But a diligent professional,
I no more wear casuals,
But formal attire,
I don’t have any pals,
But have close colleagues,
I no more bunk classes,
But ‘work from home’ these days.

So much has interchanged,
And only a little has changed,
Teachers has been replaced by the manager,
And parents by the counselor,
Canteen is now Cafeteria,
And breakout, the new hangout,
‘Deliverables’ are the new assignments,
And EPR’s our new mark sheets.

Exams are no more on my mind,
And results don’t worry me anymore,
I don’t ask my parents for pocket money,
But can buy them expensive things.

I made some wonderful friends,
A few left and many are still there,
The last year had been good and the jubilant,
Gifting some marvelous acquaintances.
